Printing
takes too
much time.
The printer is set to a
slow printing (Thick
Stock) mode (for
example, for OHP or
some other special
kind of media).
It takes more time to print with special media
in Thick Mode. When using regular paper,
make sure that the media type is set to Auto-
matic in the driver.
The printer is set to
power saving mode. It takes a little time for printing to start in power
saving mode. If you do not want to use this
mode, disable it.
The printer memory is
insufficient. Add more memory.
The job is very
complex. Wait. No action needed.
The printer is set for
single user mode. If getting your jobs printed in a timely manner
is most important, use network mode

Do not duplex envelopes, glossy stock, labels,
postcards, transfer media, or transparencies.
Make sure that you have not mixed media
types in your tray(s).
Make sure that your document has more than
one page.
Go into the printer’s control panel and make
sure that duplex is an available option.
In the printer driver, choose Short Edge
(flipped as on a clipboard) or Long Edge
(flipped as in a loose-leaf notebook). Make
sure that you are using correct media.
Make sure that all of the covers are closed.
Open and then close the covers to confirm
that they are securely closed.
If you turned the printer off, make sure that
you have turned the printer on again and
waited for it to warm up
