conflicting USB cable connections
A printing conflict may arise when the printer and several USB devices are
attached to a hub. There are two methods for solving the conflict:
• Attach the printer’s USB cable directly to the computer instead of a
hub, or
• When the printer is attached to a hub, do not use other USB devices
also attached to the hub while printing.
automatic paper type option is enabled
When the Automatic option is enabled, the printer takes a few seconds to
scan the first page of the print job. This is done to determine the appropriate
paper type. To increase the print speed, turn off the Automatic Paper-Type
Sensor.
