Free up some space on the computer’s
hard drive. Having less than 100 MB of free
space on your computer’s hard drive can
mean longer processing times.
You may have several
software programs open at
the same time.
Close all unnecessary software programs.
You may be using outdated
printer software.
Check the printer driver you are using. Check
HP’s web site for the most recent software
updates (see page 48 for web site addresses).
You may be printing a
complex document that
contains graphics or
photographs.
Be patient. Large, conplex documents
containing graphics or photographs print
slower than text documents.
The Paper Type option may
be set to
Automatic
.
When the paper type is set to Automatic, the
printer scans the first page of a print job to
determine the apprpriate paper type. This
may take a few seconds. To avoid this, choose
a specific paper type rather than using the
default
Automatic
settings.
