Printing is too slow.

Make sure your system meets the requirements listed on page 69. 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 drive or run a defragmentation utility.

■Close open programs that you’re not using.

■Increase your system’s memory (RAM).

For the fastest printing, try these tips:

■Set the Quality Option to Draft (Windows) or the Quality/Speed slider to Speed (Macintosh).

■If your printer is connected to a hub, disconnect USB devices that you’re not using.

Note:

Borderless printing takes longer, especially near the edges of the paper.

Print Quality Problems

You see banding (light lines).

■The print head nozzles may need cleaning; see page 41 for instructions.

■Select a higher print quality and turn off High Speed mode; see page 12 (Windows) or page 16 (Macintosh) for instructions.

■Make sure the Type (Windows) or Media Type (Macintosh) setting matches the paper you loaded; see page 19 for guidelines.

■Make sure the printable side of the paper is face-up. It’s usually brighter or whiter.

■The ink cartridges may need replacing; see page 44 for instructions.

■Run the Print Head Alignment utility; see page 51 for instructions.
