If you are printing a text document, make sure

 

you are using a Black print cartridge and not a

 

Photo cartridge.

 

If you are printing a text-only document,

Fine Dither Pattern or Line Art Pattern. The

 

Air Brush setting improves the appearance of

 

graphics but slows the print time.

 

Consider purchasing more memory for your

 

personal computer.

 

Check the document you are printing. If you

 

are using several graphics, it may take longer

 

to print than regular text.
