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.
- 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.
- If you are printing over a wireless network, factors such as
interference, network traffic, or weak signal strength may affect
your printing speed.
Note for Latin
America: If you are using a 5 GHz wireless router, set the
router to operate in dual band (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) mode. If
your router uses a single network name (SSID) for both the
2.4 GHz and 5 GHz band, give each band its own network
name (SSID) instead, such as Home Network 2.4 GHz and Home
Network 5 GHz. See your router documentation or contact your
internet service provider for instructions.
For the fastest printing, select the following settings in your
product software:

- Select a
lower print quality setting.
- Make sure
the ink drying time has not been increased for double-sided
printing.
