It takes a long time to
complete a print job.
Photographs and oth-
er data intensive pag-
es take a long time for
the machine to pro-
cess, so simply wait
when printing such
data.
If the Data In indicator is blinking, data has been
received by the printer. Wait for a moment.
Changing the following settings with the print-
er driver may help speed up printing:
❖ PCL 5e
Select the lower value for [Resolution] on the
[Print Quality] tab in the printer properties di-
alog box.
❖ PostScript 3
Select the lower value in [Resolution]. The lo-
cation of this setting is given below. If your
operating system is Windows, select [Post-
Script (optimize for speed)] in [PostScript Output
Option]. [PostScript Output Option] is located as
