§ Free up your memory
Use only one software program at a time and unload any
screen saving utilities or programs stored in Windows
background; this frees up more memory for Windows
processing.
§ Use Black and White when possible
If you will be printing text in black ink only, choose Black and
White rather than Grayscale.
§ Use high speed (draft) modes
The printer will need to image fewer dots.
§ Add RAM to your computer
The computer will be able to prepare the print file faster.
§ Use a computer with a faster processor
The computer will be able to prepare the print file faster.
Using the Windows Print Manager
The Print Manager is part of the Windows operating system
and controls the printing of your files.
Background Printing
When the Print Manager is active, the print file that your
application and printer driver create is not sent directly to
the printer. Instead, the print file is sent to the Print
Manager. The Print Manager then sends the print file to the
printer.
This means the Print Manager allows you to print in the
background. Once the Print Manager receives the print file
from the application, you can continue to use your
computer for other work. The Print Manager will send the
print file to the printer when it has the time and memory
available to do so.
