Printing is too slow.

Make sure your system meets the requirements listed on page 67. 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:

Choose Black ink if your document doesn’t include color (except for black-and-white photos).

Set the Quality/Speed slider to Speed.

In the Advanced options, turn MicroWeave® off and/or turn High Speed on.

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

Note: Borderless printing takes longer than normal, especially near the edges of the paper. Printing without a computer is also a bit slower.

If you are printing a landscape photo without a computer, it takes longer for the printer to rotate and process the image.

Your memory card does not work correctly.

If you’re using different kinds of memory cards, make sure only one card is inserted at a time.

Make sure the card contains no more than 999 photos (or the last photos won’t display), and that the photos are in JPEG or Uncompressed Tiff format and taken with a DCF-compliant digital camera.

If you access the card from your computer and delete files, the card may not work correctly with your camera. Always delete pictures using your camera.

If you’re using Windows XP, you may need to install your Windows storage device driver.
