96 Problem Solving
Printing is too slow.
Make sure your system meets the requirements listed on page 117. If you’re printing a
high-resolution image, you need more than the minimum requirements listed. You may also
need to:
■ Clear space on your hard drive or run a defragmentation utility.
■ Close open programs that you’re not using.
■ Increase your system’s memory (RAM).
For the fastest printing, try these tips:
■ Choose Black ink if your document doesn’t include color.
■ Set the Quality/Speed slider to Speed.
■ In the Advanced window, turn MicroWeave
®
off and/or turn High Speed on.
■ If your printer is connected to a hub, disconnect USB devices that you’re not using.
Note: Borderless printing takes longer than normal, especially near the edges of
the paper. Printing without a computer is also a bit slower.
Your memory card does not work correctly.
■ If you’re using different kinds of memory cards, make sure only one card is inserted at a
time.
■ Make sure the card contains no more than 999 photos (or the last photos won’t display),
and that the photos are in JPEG format and taken with a DCF-compliant digital camera.
■ Make sure you follow the instructions on the Start Here sheet to install PhotoStarter and
CardMonitor. If you use the New Hardware Wizard, these utilities may not be installed.
■ Check your PhotoStarter settings. See page 47 for instructions.
■ If you access the card from your computer and delete files, the card may not work
correctly with your camera. Always delete pictures using your camera.
■ If you’re using Windows XP, you may need to install your Windows storage device driver.
