Optimizing Performance The print speed and overall performance of HP DeskJet 820C series printers can be affected by several things: The amount of RAM in the host computer can determine how fast documents are sent to the printer. Increasing RAM can speed up this process as well as make the computer work more efficiently at other things besides printing. The size and complexity of the documents printed can make a difference in the printer's performance. Graphics are usually more complex - especially color graphics - and print more slowly than text. The processing speed of the computer will determine how fast a document is sent to the printer. For example, a computer with a 486 processor runs faster than a computer with a 386 processor. Running numerous software programs at one time slows down printing; each open program uses RAM. Therefore, limit the number of programs or documents open at one time. Screen fonts are stored in RAM, which means they use up memory that the printer may need in order to print. Delete screen fonts or printer fonts that are not needed.

Optimizing Performance
The print speed and overall performance of HP DeskJet 820C series
printers can be affected by several things:
The amount of RAM in the host computer can determine how fast
documents are sent to the printer. Increasing RAM can speed up
this process as well as make the computer work more efficiently at
other things besides printing.
The size and complexity of the documents printed can make a
difference in the printer's performance. Graphics are usually more
complex - especially color graphics - and print more slowly than
text.
The processing speed of the computer will determine how fast a
document is sent to the printer. For example, a computer with a
486 processor runs faster than a computer with a 386 processor.
Running numerous software programs at one time slows down
printing; each open program uses RAM. Therefore, limit the
number of programs or documents open at one time.
Screen fonts are stored in RAM, which means they use up memory
that the printer may need in order to print. Delete screen fonts or
printer fonts that are not needed.
