Print job is extremely slow.
Cause
Solution
The job might be very complex.
The maximum speed of the printer cannot be
exceeded even when more memory is added.
Printing speeds might be automatically reduced
when printing on custom-sized media.
Note: Slower speeds are expected when printing
on narrow paper, when printing from tray 1, or
when using the HIGH 2 fuser mode.
Reduce the complexity of the page or try
adjusting the print-quality settings. If this problem
occurs frequently, add memory to the printer.
You are printing a PDF or PostScript (PS) file but
are using a PCL printer driver.
Try using the PS printer driver rather than the
PCL printer driver. (You can usually do this from
a software program.)
In the printer driver, Optimize for: is set to
cardstock, heavy, rough, or bond paper.
In the printer driver, set the type to plain paper
(see
Printing by type and size of media (locking
trays)).
Note: If you change the setting to plain paper,
the print job will print faster. However, if you are
using heavy media, for best results leave the
printer driver set to heavy even though printing
might be slower.
Print job prints on both sides of the paper.
Cause
Solution
The printer is set for duplexing. See Changing the settings for a print job to
change the setting, or see the online Help.
Print job contains only one page but the printer processes the back side of the page as well
(the page comes part of the way out, and then goes back into the printer).
Cause
Solution
The printer is set for duplexing. Even if the print
job contains only one page, the printer also
processes the back side.
See Changing the settings for a print job to
change the setting, or see the online Help.
Do not try to pull the page out of the printer
before duplexing is complete. Jamming might
result.
Pages print, but are totally blank.
Cause
Solution
The sealing tape might still be in the print
cartridge.
Remove the print cartridge and pull out the
sealing tape. Reinstall the print cartridge.
The file might have blank pages. Check the file to make sure that it does not
contain blank pages.
