It's a good idea to turn off the Print Manager if you are feeding paper manually. To do so, clear the Use Print Manager check box in the Printers dialog box within the Control Panel.

If you are feeding paper manually and using the spooler, the printer goes off-line before printing each page to allow you to insert paper.

Ways to Improve Print speed in Windows

To improve printing speed, you can try the following:

§Turn off the Print Manager in the Windows Control Panel This avoids the extra step of sending the print file to the Print Manager and may increase your printing speed by as much as 25%, depending on the computer you are using. (See the next section for details.)

§Add a permanent swap file in Windows

Under the 386 Enhanced icon in the Windows Control Panel, add or create a permanent swap file that is from 4 MB to 9 MB. The computer will be able to prepare the print file faster. See your Windows documentation for instructions.

§Avoid diffusion halftones

In the Options dialog box, choose Diffusion only when printing final output or photographic images. Choosing Pattern allows documents to print as much as 20% faster because the computer does not need to compute to "best possible position" for each dot.
