Printing is Slow

If printing becomes slow, try these solutions:

•Make sure your system meets the requirements for your operating system. If you are printing a high- resolution image, you may need more than the minimum requirements. If necessary, increase your system's memory.

•If you are using Windows 7, close the Devices and Printers window before you print.
