●multiple software applications are open

If none of the above topics describes the printer's performance, then review the following:

●printer driver is outdated

●computer does not meet system requirements

multiple software applications are open

If too many software applications are open, the printer cannot print at its optimum speed.

Close all unnecessary software applications, then print the document again.

complex documents, graphics, or photographs are printing

Documents containing graphics or photographs print slower than text documents.

automatic paper type option is enabled

When the Automatic paper type option is enabled, it takes a few seconds for the printer to scan the first page of the print job to determine the appropriate paper type.

To increase the print speed, turn off the Automatic Paper-Type Sensor.

For instructions on turning off the Automatic Paper-Type Sensor, see using the automatic paper-type sensor.

two-sided documents are printing

Printing two-sided documents takes longer than printing single-sided documents.

printer driver is outdated

An outdated printer driver may be installed.
