● If you selected manual mode for the job, you must open the job queue, select the job, and print it in
manual mode.
● You may be experiencing unusual electromagnetic phenomena, such as strong electromagnetic fields or
severe electrical disturbances, which can cause the printer to behave strangely or even stop working. In
this case, turn off the printer using the
Power key on the front panel and unplug the power cord, wait
until the electromagnetic environment has returned to normal, then turn it on again. If you still
experience problems, please contact your customer service representative.
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. To find out the printer's current paper type setting, see
View information about the paper
on page 65 .
● Check that all components used in your 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?
● Did you specify Extended drying time in the front panel? Try changing the drying time to Optimal.
