Make sure EPSON Stylus COLOR 500 is selected as the default
Windows printer driver or is the last printer selected in the
Chooser (Macintosh driver).
Make sure you selected the correct
Paper Size
option in the
printer driver; see Chapter 2 or 3 or your driver’s online help
for instructions. Also make sure the margins you selected in
your application software fit the paper size you’re using.
Print speed is slow.
Print speed is directly influenced by the volume of data
contained in a given document. Because high resolution and
color printing significantly increase the amount of data to be
processed, these two factors have the greatest effect on print
speed. Carefully considering your use of color and resolution
can help you optimize your printing times.
You may be using printer driver settings that are more suitable
for graphics printing and unnecessarily slowing down text
printing. To speed up text printing only, turn off MicroWeave
mode and turn on High Speed mode. You can also select
Economy mode (180 dpi) in the printer driver for printing draft
copies. Some combinations of
Printing Mode
(resolution) and
Media Type
do not allow you to select these settings; if this is
the case for your settings, select a lower resolution, possibly
using Economy for drafts and 360 dpi for your final output.
However, do not turn off MicroWeave when printing final
copies of high-quality graphics or photographs.
