❏
For 2-sided printing, one side of paper is printed and dried, and then the other side is printed. Because the
drying time differs depending on the environment, such as temperature or humidity, or the print data, the
printing speed may be slower.
Printing Slows Down Dramatically During Continuous Printing
Printing slows down to prevent the printer mechanism from overheating and being damaged. However, you can
continue printing. To return to normal printing speed, leave the printer idle for at least 30 minutes. Printing speed
does not return to normal if the power is off.
