Printer ejects a blank page after appearing to print

•You removed the sticker and transparent tape from the back and bottom of the print cartridges. For help, see “Replacing the print cartridges” on page 42.

•Your cartridge does not have clogged nozzles. Clean the print cartridge nozzles and contacts. For help, see “Improving print quality” on page 46.

Printer prints very slowly

•Close any software programs not in use.

•Check the document you are printing. Photos and graphics may take longer to print than regular text. Documents that are large or that contain background images may also take longer to print.

•Check the printer to see if another document is being printed. Print jobs are printed in the order the printer receives them.

•Decrease the print quality setting to Normal or Quick Print.

Note: Higher print quality settings result in better quality documents, but may take longer to print.
