Printing is too slow
Possible cause Solution
Your printer software
options are set
incorrectly.
For the fastest printing, try the following printer software settings:
◗ Set Print Quality to Economy
◗ Turn MicroWeave off
◗ Turn High Speed on
◗ Choose Black ink
See Custom Printing
for instructions.
Your system doesn’t
have enough
resources.
◗ 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) and/or processor speed.
You’re using
background printing
on a Macintosh.
You need to increase the memory allocated for your application, EPSON
Monitor3, or both. Choose Get Info from the File menu when the
application is active or when EPSON Monitor3 is selected and increase
the memory allocation. See Using Monitor3
for more information.
If that doesn’t work, turn off background printing in the Chooser or in
your printer software; see Using Background Printing on the Macintosh
for instructions. (You won’t be able to use Monitor3.)
You’re not using ECP
or Enhanced mode
and/or DMA transfers.
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.
