Printing is too Slow

Troubleshooting

When execution time of a print job is slow, refer to the check list below.

CHECK1 Does your computer have sufficient memory?

If you are using a number of applications, memory may not have enough space to process the print job. Try closing all other applications to increase the amount of memory available for printing. If printing is still excessively slow, you may have to add more memory into your computer.

CHECK2 Is your hard disk fragmented?

When data is frequently stored/deleted, the hard disk may become fragmented causing a reduction in printing speed. In this case it is recommended to defragment your hard disk. You may use a commercially available hard disk defragmenting tool.

CHECK3	Is the size of the print job too large?
	It is recommended to reduce the size of the file by
	lowering the resolution of the print data.
CHECK4	Has the background printing been
	activated?

If the background printing is activated, the print speed may be slower depending on the model of your Macintosh even though this function allows you to do other operations while printing. Please attempt to print after deactivating the background printing.
