You may be
printing a complex
document
containing graphics
or photographs.
OR
You may be trying
to print a high
resolution photo.
Try the following:
• Free up some space on your hard disk.
Having less than 100MB of free space
on your computer’s hard disk can
mean longer processing time.
• Be patient. Large, complex documents
containing graphics or photographs
print slower than text documents.
A page may be
drying in the OUT
tray.
If this is the case, the LCD displays this
message: “Page is drying... To start next
page, remove wet page and press OK.”
You can either follow these directions or
simply wait. Printing continues once the
ink is dry.
