Open or close the straight-through output door to reflect the output path that you want to use. See Printer output paths for more information.

The maximum speed of the printer is 14 pages per minute. The print job might be very complex. Try the following:

● Reduce the complexity of the document (for example, reduce the number of multiple graphics).

● Access the printer properties in the printer driver. See Printer properties (driver) for instructions. Click the Paper tab, select Plain Paper from the Optimize for drop-down list, and click OK.

Note

This may cause toner to fuse improperly if you are using heavy media. ● Narrow media or heavy media will slow printing. Use normal media.

● Print speed is based on the PC processor speed, the amount of memory, and the amount of hard disk space available on the PC. Try increasing these components.
