Printing is Slow

If printing becomes slow, try these solutions:

• Make sure your system meets the requirements for your operating system. If you are printing a high-

resolution image, you may need more than the minimum requirements. If necessary, increase your
system's memory.

• If you are using Windows 7, close the

Devices and Printers

window before you print.

• On a Mac, make sure you download and install the Epson printer driver.

• Make sure

Quiet Mode

is turned off.

• Clear space on your hard drive or run a defragmentation utility to free up existing space.

• Close any programs you are not using when you print.

• If your product is connected to a USB hub, connect it directly to your computer instead.

• If printing becomes slower after printing continuously for a long time, the product may have

automatically slowed down to protect the print mechanism from overheating or becoming damaged.
Let the product rest with the power on for 30 minutes, then try printing again.

• If you are printing over a wireless network, factors such as interference, network traffic, or weak signal

strength may affect your printing speed.

For the fastest printing, select the following settings in your product software:

• Make sure the paper type setting matches the type of paper you loaded.

• Turn on any high speed settings in your product software.

• Select a lower print quality setting.
