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 for custom-
sized media.
NOTE Expect slower speeds when printing on
narrow paper from tray 1, or 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.

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.
NOTE If you change the setting to plain paper, the
print job will print more quickly. However, if you are
using heavy media, for best results leave the printer
driver set to heavy.

The printer prints, but the text is wrong, garbled, or incomplete
Cause
Solution

job that you know works. If possible, attach the cable and
printer to another computer and try a print job that you know
works. Finally, try a new cable.
The printer is on a network or sharing device and is not
receiving a clear signal.
Disconnect the printer from the network and use a parallel or
USB cable to attach it directly to a computer. Print a job that
you know works.
