Using the Printer With Windows
Chapter 2
Avoid automatic settings
Although the automatic settings are easy to use, the computer must
interpret the printed page. This takes more time than if you select
each setting.
Free up your memory
Use only one software program at a time and unload any screen
saving utilities or programs stored in Windows background; this
frees up more memory for Windows processing.
Use Monochrome when possible
If you will be printing text in black ink only, choose a Color
Selection of Black and White rather than Grayscale. Print draft
documents in Monochrome rather than Color, or use Draft print
quality when printing color.
Limit the number of colors on each page
The computer will need to calculate and transmit fewer dots. Too
many colors can make the image confusing and less effective as well
as cause the print speed to slow down.
Use primary colors when printing presentation graphics
Use black, cyan, yellow, magenta, blue, green, and red when possible.
The computer will need to calculate and transfer less dot
information.
Use the Draft print quality
The printer will need to image fewer dots.
Use Plain Paper as the Media Type
The print head will make only one pass for each printed line.
Use smaller graphics and more white space in your
documents
The computer will be able to prepare the print file faster.
Add RAM to your computer
The computer will be able to prepare the print file faster.
Use a computer with a faster processor
The computer will be able to prepare the print file faster.
