Slow Printing
Make sure your system meets the requirements. If you’re printing a high-resolution image, you
need more than the minimum requirements listed. You may also need to:
• Clear space on your hard drive or run a defragmentation utility.
• Close programs that you’re not using.
• Increase your system’s memory.
• If you installed the NX510 Series using a USB cable, use a computer with a high-speed USB
2.0 port.
• If you installed the NX510 Series using an Ethernet cable, use a computer and router (or hub
or switch) with 100 Base-T ports.
• If you installed the NX510 Series as a wireless printer, use a computer and a router or wireless
access point with 802.11g. Try moving the NX510 Series and your wireless router or access
point closer together. Also avoid placing your NX510 Series next to large metal objects (such
as a filing cabinet), microwave ovens, or 2.4 GHz cordless phones.
For the fastest printing, try these tips:
• Choose Black/Grayscale in your printer settings if your document doesn’t include color.
• For Windows, choose Draft for the Quality Option.
• For Macintosh, set the Quality/Speed slider to Speed.
•Make sure Quiet Mode is not selected.
• If your Epson printer is connected to a USB hub, disconnect unused USB devices.
Cannot Print Over a Network
• Make sure you set up your software properly for network printing. See the printed network
guide for instructions.
• Try printing to the NX510 Series from another computer on the network and see if the
problem persists.
