Canon BJC-8500 user manual Problem Printing too slow

Printing too slow or halts

Problem : Printing too slow.

1	Make sure you are using only one software application at a time. If
	there are any other applications running in the background, shut them
	down.
2	Limit the number of colours on the page. Try using only primary
	colours: black, cyan, magenta and yellow.
3	Try a lower quality or resolution setting to speed up printing. For
	details refer to the Windows Print Guide or the Macintosh Print Guide.
	The default setting for printing resolution is 600 x 600 dpi. Printing
	will be much slower if you select the maximum setting of 1200 x 1200
	dpi. Use the maximum setting only for special print jobs that require
	very high quality.
4	Increase the amount of memory in your computer. For details, refer to
	your computer hardware manual.
5	Copy graphic images into another software application and then try
	printing again.
6	Upgrade your computer system to a computer with a higher process-
	ing speed.
7	If you are using a screen saver program, disable it and then try print-
	ing again.
