bar appears, click Settings > Control Panel. In the Hardware and Sound
group, click View devices and printers > Printers.

The headers or footers appear
when the document is displayed
on the screen but do not appear
when the document is printed.
There is an unprintable area on the top and bottom of the page. Adjust the top
and bottom margins in your document to allow for this.
See Related Information: Unprintable Area.
Cannot perform ‘Page Layout’
printing.
(Windows )
Check that the paper size setting in the application and in the printer driver are
the same.
See Related Information: Change the Paper Size and Paper Type .
Print speed is too slow. (Windows)
Try changing the printer driver setting. The highest resolution needs longer data
processing, sending, and printing time. Try the other quality settings in the printer
driver as follows:
In the printer driver, clear the Color Enhancement (True2Life) check box on the
Advanced tab.
Turn the Borderless feature off. Borderless printing is slower than normal printing.
See Related Information: Print Settings (Windows).
Turn off the Quiet Mode setting. Print speed is slower in Quiet Mode. See
Related Information: Reduce Printing Noise.
Make sure the Media Type setting in the printer drivers, your application, or the
Paper Type setting on the machine matches the type of paper you are using.
See Related Information: Change the Paper Size and Paper Type.
