Make sure you selected the correct Paper Size option in the printer driver; see your Setup and Software Guide for instructions. Also make sure the margins you selected in your application software fit the paper size you’re using.
Text printing is slow.You may be using printer driver settings that are more suitable for graphics printing and unnecessarily slowing down text printing. To speed up text printing only, turn off MicroWeave mode and turn on High Speed mode. Some combinations of Printing Mode (resolution) and Media Type do not allow you to select these settings; if this is the case for your settings, select a lower resolution, possibly using 180 dpi for drafts and 360 dpi for your final output.

If you’re printing text from DOS applications and you selected composite black mode using the control panel Print Mode buttons, text printing will be much slower than true black printing. Select true black mode instead; see Chapter 2 for control panel instructions.
Ink cartridges do not last as long as expected.The ink cartridge life depends on the amount of ink used in printing. If you often print pages with large graphics and dense text with little white space, you will use up cartridges faster than if you print pages with lots of white space. The printer also uses ink during a print head cleaning cycle, so do not perform cleaning cycles unless necessary.
If you replace an ink cartridge before its Ink Out light flashes, the sensor that tells you when ink is out will not work correctly with the new cartridge.
