Printing Is Too Slow

❏ When printing continuously for approximately more than 10 minutes, printing slows down to prevent the

printer mechanism from overheating and being damaged. However, you can continue printing. To return to normal printing speed, leave the printer idle for at least 30 minutes. Printing speed does not return to normal if the power is o.

❏ Close any unnecessary applications.

❏ Lower the quality setting on the printer driver. High quality printing slows down the printing speed.

❏ 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.

❏ If the le is created in an application that allows you to change the data format, such as Adobe Photoshop, make

sure that the settings in the application match the settings in the printer driver.

❏ EPS les made in binary format may not be printed correctly. Set the format to ASCII when making EPS les in

an application.

❏ For Windows, the printer cannot print binary data when it is connected to the computer using a USB interface.

Set the Output Protocol setting on the Device Settings tab in the printer properties to ASCII or TBCP.

❏ For Windows, select the appropriate substitution fonts on the Device Settings tab in the printer properties.
