The printer seems slow
Here are some possible explanations.
●
Did you set the print-quality to Best or Max Detail? Best-quality and maximum detail prints take
longer.
●
Did you specify the correct paper type when loading the paper? Some paper types require more
time for printing; for example, photo and coated papers require more drying time between
passes. To find out the printer's current paper type setting, see
View information about the paper
●
If your printer is connected by network, check that all components used in the network (network
interface cards, hubs, routers, switches, cables) are capable of high-speed operation. Is there a lot
of traffic from other devices on the network?
●
If your printer is connected by USB, make sure that the USB host controller and the USB hubs used
(if any) are USB 2.0; and check that the USB cables are USB 2.0 certified.
●
Did you specify Extended drying time in the front panel? Try changing the drying time to
Optimal.
Communication failures between computer and
printer
Some symptoms are:
●
The front-panel display does not show the Receiving message when you have sent an image to
the printer.
●
Your computer displays an error message when you are trying to print.
●
Your computer or printer hangs (stays idle), while communication is taking place.
●
Your printed output shows random or inexplicable errors (misplaced lines, partial graphics etc.)
To solve a communication problem:
●
Ensure that you have selected the correct printer in your application, see
.
●
Ensure that the printer works correctly when printing from other applications.
●
Remember that very large prints may take some time to receive, process and print.
●
If the printer is connected to a network, try using it when connected directly to your computer
through a USB cable.
●
If your printer is connected to your computer through any other intermediate devices, such as
switch boxes, buffer boxes, cable adapters, cable converters, etc., try using it when connected
directly to your computer.
●
Try another interface cable.
