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 print quality is set to high.

Solutions

Lower the quality setting.

Bidirectional printing is disabled.

Solutions

Enable the bidirectional (or high speed) setting. When this setting is enabled, the print head prints while moving in both directions, and the printing speed increases.

  • Windows

    Select Quality Options as the Level setting on the printer driver's Main tab, and then select High Speed.

  • Mac OS

    Select Print Settings from the print dialog's pop-up menu, and then select High Speed.

There may be network connection problems with the wireless router.

Solutions

Reboot the wireless router while taking into consideration other users connected to the network. If this does not solve the problem, place the printer closer to your wireless router or see the documentation provided with the access point.

The printer is printing high density data such as photos on plain paper.

Solutions

If you are printing high-density data such as photos on plain paper, printing may take some time to maintain print quality. This is not a malfunction.
