Printing is too slow.
Your printer switches to the modem port or won’t confirm on the printer port
(Macintosh).
Your printer icon doesn’t appear in the Chooser (Macintosh).
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 No
Halftoning.
◗ Choose Black ink.
See Chapters 1 and 2 for more information.
Your system doesn’t have
enough resources.
◗ Reduce the resolution of your image.
◗ Clear space on your hard disk drive 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 your application is
active and increase the memory requirements. See Chapter 4 for
more information. Or turn off background printing (you won’t be
able to use Monitor3).
Your Spool Manager
settings are incorrect
(Windows 95/98).
Change your default spool directory and other settings as
described in Chapter 4.
Possible cause Solution
Your system has extension
conflicts.
Make sure AppleTalk is inactive. In the Extensions Manager,
disable the AppleShare, FileShare, and PrinterShare extensions.
Set your printer and any unused printers to the printer port. Then
restart your system.
You’re using an AppleTalk
cable.
Make sure you’re using a standard Apple System Peripheral-8
cable. See Appendix B for specifications.
Possible cause Solution

conflicts.
In the Extensions Manager, disable Quick Draw GX. Make sure
