Printing is too slow
Possible cause Solution
Your printer software
options are set
incorrectly.
For the fastest printing, try the following:
◗ Set Print Quality to Economy.
◗ Turn High Speed on.
◗ Choose Black ink and No Halftoning.
See Basic Printing
and Advanced Printing for more information.
Your system doesn’t
have enough
resources.
◗ Clear space on your hard disk or run a defragmentation utility.
◗ Don’t run too many applications at the same time.
◗ Turn off virtual memory.
◗ Increase your system’s memory (RAM).
You’re using
background printing
on a Macintosh.
Choose Get Info from the File menu when the application is active or
EPSON Monitor3 is selected and increase the memory requirements.
See Using Monitor3 for more information.
If that doesn’t work, turn off background printing in the Chooser or in
your printer software; see Setting Up Background Printing Options
for
instructions. You won’t be able to use Monitor3 after turning off
background printing.
You’re not using ECP
or Enhanced mode
and/or DMA transfers.
If your computer supports ECP or Enhanced mode and/or DMA
transfers, turn them on to speed up printing. See your computer
documentation for details.
