The printer seems slow
Here are some possible explanations:
● Did you set the print quality to Best? Images printed with the Best print-quality setting require
more time to print.
● Did you specify the correct paper type when loading the paper? Check that the paper type that
appears on the front panel matches the paper that is loaded in the printer.
● Is your printer connected to a network? Check that all components used in the network (network
interface cards, hubs, routers, switches, and cables) are capable of high-speed operation. Is there
a lot of traffic from other devices on the network?
● Did you set the drying time to Extended? Try changing the drying time to Automatic. See
Change the drying time on page 37 .
● Are the printheads in good condition? Printing time might increase when a printhead needs
cleaning. Check the printhead status on the front panel or through the Embedded Web Server.
Clean or replace printheads if necessary.
● Do your image contain high-density, black fills? Printing time might increase for images containing
high-density, black fills.
Communication failures between computer and
printer
Some symptoms are:
● The front-panel display does not show the Receiving message when you have sent an image to
the printer.
● Your computer shows an error message when you try to print.
● Your computer or printer stalls when transferring data.
● Your printed output shows random or inexplicable errors (misplaced lines, partial graphics, and so
on).
To solve a communication problem:
● Make sure that you have selected the correct printer in your software program.
● Make sure that the printer works correctly when printing from other software programs.
● Remember that large images usually require more time to receive, process, and print.
● If the printer is connected to your computer by a USB cable, try disconnecting and reconnecting
the cable.
● If the printer is connected to your computer through any other intermediate devices, such as switch
boxes, buffer boxes, cable adapters, or cable converters, remove the intermediate device and try
connecting the printer directly to your computer.
