Several variables can slow the printer's performance. Click the topic below that best

describes the printer's performance:

multiple software applications are open

complex documents, graphics, or photographs are printing

automatic paper-type option is enabled

two-sided documents are printing

If none of the above topics describes the printer's performance, then review the

following:

printer driver is outdated

computer does not meet system requirements

multiple software applications are open

If too many software applications are open, the printer cannot print at its optimum

speed.

Close all unnecessary software applications, then print the document again.

complex documents, graphics, or photographs are printing

icon on the desktop.

2. Press
