If printing becomes slow, try these solutions:
- Make sure
your system meets the requirements for your operating system. If
you are printing a high-resolution image, you may need more than
the minimum requirements. If necessary, increase your system's
memory.
- If you are
using Windows 7, close the Devices and
Printers window before you print.
- On a Mac,
make sure you download and install the Epson printer driver.
- Make sure
Quiet Mode is turned off.
- Clear space
on your hard drive or run a defragmentation utility to free up
existing space.
- Close any
programs you are not using when you print.
- If your
product is connected to a USB hub, connect it directly to your
computer instead.
- If printing
becomes slower after printing continuously for a long time, the
product may have automatically slowed down to protect the print
mechanism from overheating or becoming damaged. Let the product
rest with the power on for 30 minutes, then try printing
again.
For the fastest printing, select the following
settings in your product software:
- Make sure the paper type setting matches the type of
paper you loaded.
- Turn on any
high speed settings in your product software.
- Select a
lower print quality setting.
-
Windows: Click the Maintenance or Utility tab, select Extended Settings or Speed and Progress, and select the following
settings:
-
Always Spool RAW Datatype
-
Page Rendering Mode
-
Print as Bitmap
- Windows: Select
Printer Properties, click the
More Options tab, and make sure
the High Speed setting is
enabled.
- Mac: Select
System Preferences, select
Printers & Scanners, and
select your product. Select Options
& Supplies, select Options (or Driver), and enable the High Speed Printing setting.
If printing is still slow and you are using Windows
7 or Windows Vista, try the following:
- Click and select Computer or My
Computer. Double-click the C: drive and open these folders: ProgramData > EPSON > PRINTER.
Note: If you
do not see the ProgramData folder, open the Organize menu and select Folder and search options. In the window that
appears, click the View tab,
select Show hidden files, folders, and
drives in the Advanced settings list, and click OK.
- Right-click the EPAUDF01.AUD file and select Delete.
- Restart your computer and try printing again.
