Use Monochrome when possible | Canon C3500 guide

Use Monochrome when possible

If you will be printing text in black ink only, choose a Color Selection of Black and White rather than Grayscale. Print draft documents in Monochrome rather than Color, or use Draft print quality when printing color.

Limit the number of colors on each page

The computer will need to calculate and transmit fewer dots per inch (dpi). Too many colors can make the image confusing and less effective as well as cause the print speed to slow down.

Use primary colors when printing presentation graphics

Use black, cyan, yellow, magenta, blue, green, and red when possible. The computer will need to calculate and transfer less dot information.

Use the Draft print quality

The printer will need to image fewer dots.

Use Plain Paper as the Media Type

The print head will make only one pass for each printed line.

Use smaller graphics and more white space in your documents The computer will be able to prepare the print file faster.

Add RAM to your computer

The computer will be able to prepare the print file faster.

Use a computer with a faster processor

The computer will be able to prepare the print file faster.
