Printing is too slow.

Make sure your system meets the requirements listed on page 4. If you’re printing a high-resolution image, you need more than the minimum requirements listed.

You may also need to:

■Clear space on your hard disk or run a defragmentation utility.

■Close open applications that you’re not using.

■Increase your system’s memory (RAM).

For the fastest printing, try the following:

■Choose Black ink if your document doesn’t include color.

■Set the Quality/Speed slider to Speed.

■In the printer software’s Advanced dialog box, turn MicroWeave off and turn

High Speed on.

■If the printer is connected to your computer’s parallel port, enable ECP/DMA mode on the port for maximum print speeds. See your computer documentation or contact the manufacturer for instructions.

Your printer makes noise when you plug it in or after it has been sitting for a while.

Your printer is performing routine maintenance.
