CHECK 1 Is there enough computer memory or hard disk space?

To use this unit, you must have an adequate amount of hard disk space. If there is insufficient hard disk space, delete unnecessary files to increase the free space of the hard disk. If there is insufficient memory, close unnecessary applications to increase memory available for printing or scanning. If you are still unable to print or scan, install more memory into your computer.

CHECK 2 Is your hard disk fragmented?

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