Printing Is Too Slow

The following causes can be considered.

Unnecessary applications are running.

Solutions

Close any unnecessary applications on your computer or smart device.

The printer is in sleep mode.

Solutions

When the printer is in sleep mode it needs to warm up before you can start printing; therefore it may take some time before paper is ejected.

The printer is performing adjustments.

Solutions

To maintain optimum print quality, the printer may stop printing to automatically adjust some internal features. The printer automatically restarts printing when adjusting is complete.

A setting that takes some time to process is selected such as thick paper.

Solutions

When printing on plain paper, set the paper type setting to Plain paper.

The printer is cooling the fuser unit.

Solutions

When continuously printing on narrow paper, the printer needs to cool the fuser unit to prevent it from overheating which may slow down printing. Wait until printing is complete.

The print data size is too large.

Solutions

If you are printing a large data size image, the data may not be processed depending on the CPU or memory of the computer. Try the following solutions.

  • Install more memory in your computer if you can.

  • Set the printer driver's Quality setting to Fast (300dpi).

  • Set interfaces that you are not using to disabled.

The printer is refreshing the drum.

Solutions

Wait until the printer has finished. If you set Drum Heater to On in Settings >General Settings > System Administration > Printer Adjust Menu, it reduces the frequency of drum refresh.
