Printing Is Too Slow

❏ When printing continuously for approximately more than 15 minutes, printing slows down to prevent the

printer mechanism from overheating and being damaged. However, you can continue printing. To return the

printer to normal printing speed, cancel printing, and leave the printer idle for at least 45 minutes with the

power on. e printer does not recover if the power is o.

❏ e printing speed slows down when the printer is running on the battery. Connect the AC adapter to the

printer.

❏ Close any unnecessary applications.

❏ Lower the quality setting on the printer driver. High quality printing slows down the printing speed.

❏ Enable the bidirectional (or high speed) setting. When this setting is enabled, the print head prints while

moving in both directions, and the printing speed increases.
