describes the printer's performance:
●
multiple software applications are open

If none of the above topics describes the printer's performance, then review the
following:
●

●

If too many software applications are open, the printer cannot print at its optimum
speed.
Close all unnecessary software applications, then print the document again.
complex documents, graphics, or photographs are printing
Documents containing graphics or photographs print slower than text documents.
If you are using a computer running Mac OS 8.6 or 9.x , follow these steps to

2. Press Command + I to open the Information Box.
3. Allocate more memory to the Print Spooler, then close the Information Box.

To increase the print speed, turn off the Automatic Paper-Type Sensor.
For instructions on turning off the Automatic Paper-Type Sensor, see using the
