required.
3. From the application, access the Print dialog box.

5. Send the job to the printer from the application’s Print dialog box.
Factors Affecting Printing Performance
Many factors affect a print job. They include the print speed (stated in number of pages per
minute), the media used, download time, and system processing time.
The computer download time and system processing time are affected by several factors
including:
■ System memory
■ Connection type (network or USB)
■ Network operating system
■ System configuration
■ File size and type of graphics
■ Computer speed
Note
Additional system memory (RAM) may improve overall printer functions, but will not
increase the pages per minute (ppm) ability of the system.
