4. Troubleshooting When Using the Printer Function
Problem
There is considerable delay
between the print start
instruction and actual
printing.
4
Graphics print out differently
to how they appear on
screen.
Photo images are coarse.
74
Cause
Processing time depends on
data volume. High volume
data, such as graphics-heavy
documents, takes longer to
process.
If the printer driver is
configured to use the
graphics command, the
graphics command from the
machine is used to print.
Some applications print at
lower resolution.
Solution
If the Data In indicator is blinking, data
has been received by the machine. Wait
for a while.
Making the following setting on the
printer driver may reduce the computer's
workload.
For how to open the printing preferences
dialog box, see "Displaying the Printer
Driver Settings Screen", Printer
Reference .
• PCL 5e
Select the lower value for the
[Resolution] list on the [Print
Quality] in the printing preferences
dialog box.
• PCL 6
Select [Speed] for the [Print
Priority:] list on the [Print Quality] in
the printing preferences dialog
box.
• PostScript3
If your operating system is
Windows, select [Optimize for
Speed] in the [PostScript Output
Option:] list in [PS Options] on the
[Detailed Settings] tab.
If you want to print accurately, set the
printer driver to print without using the
graphics command. See the printer
driver Help.
Use the application's settings to specify
a higher resolution.
