Computer does not meet system requirements
If your computer does not have enough RAM or does not have a large amount of
free space on the hard drive, the printer processing time will be longer.
1. Verify that the computer hard disk space, RAM, and processor speed meet the
system requirements.
For the system requirements, see the reference guide that came with the
printer.
2. Make space available on the hard drive by deleting unneeded files.
Printer is in ink-backup mode
The printer might print more slowly if it is in ink-backup mode.
To increase the print speed, use two print cartridges in the printer.
