Troubleshooting Problem Possible Cause Try This Printing is slow Incorrect printer driver settings Altering driver settings may improve print speed. For example, draft mode is faster than normal mode, but the quality of the print is lower. See "Setting Driver Options" on page 8 on for selecting the optimum print mode for a print job. Computer resources are low or not enough memory You may not have enough memory (RAM) on your computer. Close any open applications that are not needed for printing. If the problem persists, consider adding more memory to your computer. Computer resources are low or not enough disk space When a print job is sent to the printer, it first goes to a temporary print spool. If the file is large and you have limited disk space available, this can slow or stop printing. WINDOWS Delete all temporary files (.tmp). If you have Windows 98 or later, you can also run the Disk Cleanup utility. WINDOWS XP 1. Click Start, then My Computer, then right click the C: drive icon. 2. Click Properties from the drop-down menu. 3. Click the Disk Clean-up button. 4. Ensure that Temporary files is selected. 5. Click OK.
