Printing Is Too Slow

Close any unnecessary applications on your computer or smart device.

Lower the quality setting.

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.

  Select Bidirectional Printing on the printer driver's More Options tab.

• Mac OS

  Select System Preferences from the Apple menu > Printers & Scanners (or Print & Scan, Print &Fax), and then select the printer. Click Options & Supplies > Options (or Driver). Select On as the Bidirectional Printing setting.

Disable Quiet Mode. The printing speed slows down when the printer is running in Quiet Mode.

• Control panel

  Select on the home screen, and then select Off.

• Windows

  Select Off as the Quiet Mode setting on the printer driver's Main tab.

• Mac OS

  Select System Preferences from the Apple menu > Printers & Scanners (or Print & Scan, Print & Fax), and then select the printer. Click Options & Supplies > Options (or Driver). Select Off as the Quiet Mode setting.

For 2-sided printing, one side of paper is printed and dried, and then the other side is printed. Because the drying time differs depending on the environment, such as temperature or humidity, or the print data, the printing speed may be slower.
