Printing is too slow Possible cause Your printer software options are set incorrectly. Your system doesn't have enough resources. You're using background printing on a Macintosh. You're not using ECP or Enhanced mode and/or DMA transfers. Solution For the fastest printing, try the following:  Set Print Quality to Economy.  Turn High Speed on.  Choose Black ink and No Halftoning. See Basic Printing and Advanced Printing for more information.  Clear space on your hard disk or run a defragmentation utility.  Don't run too many applications at the same time.  Turn off virtual memory.  Increase your system's memory (RAM). Choose Get Info from the File menu when the application is active or EPSON Monitor3 is selected and increase the memory requirements. See Using Monitor3 for more information. If that doesn't work, turn off background printing in the Chooser or in your printer software; see Setting Up Background Printing Options for instructions. You won't be able to use Monitor3 after turning off background printing. If your computer supports ECP or Enhanced mode and/or DMA transfers, turn them on to speed up printing. See your computer documentation for details. Troubleshooting Page 172
