Printing Difficulties
Difficulty Suggestions
The headers or footers appear 
when the document is displayed on 
the screen but they do not show up 
when it is printed.
There is an unprintable area on the top and bottom of the page. Adjust the top and 
bottom margins in your document to allow for this.
(See Online User’s Guide.)
Print speed is too slow.  Try changing the printer driver setting. The highest resolution needs longer data 
processing, sending and printing time. Try the other quality settings in the printer 
driver as follows:
(Windows
®
) 
Click Colour Settings on the Advanced tab, and make sure you clear 
Colour Enhancement.
(Macintosh) 
Choose Color Settings, click Advanced Color Settings, and make sure you 
clear Color Enhancement.
Turn the Borderless feature off. Borderless printing is slower than normal printing.
