Printing Takes Too Long
Probable Causes
Solutions
The printer is set to a slower printing mode,
for example, for printing on glossy or
heavyweight paper.
It takes more time to print on certain types of special media. Make
sure that the paper type is set properly in the driver and at the
printer control panel. For details, see
Print Speed
on page 127.
The printer is in Energy Saver mode.
Wait. It takes time for printing to start when the printer is coming
out of Energy Saver mode.
The way the printer was installed on the
network could be an issue.
Determine if a print spooler or a computer sharing the printer is
buffering all print jobs and then spooling them to the printer.
Spooling can slow print speeds. To test the speed of the printer,
print some information pages such as the Office Demo Page. If the
page does not print at the rated speed of the printer, you could
have a network or printer installation issue.
The job is complex.
Wait. No action needed.
The print-quality mode in the driver is set to
Enhanced.
Change the print-quality mode in the print driver to Standard.
The printer quality is set to Photo and the
printer is being used for complex, 2-sided
print jobs.
