![]() ![]() If the print speed has improved, then the issue is caused by the document that you are trying to print. Attempt to print a different document from your original application to determine if the slow speed is caused by the document's complexity. Remove any physical or electrical obstacles, such as cordless phones, microwaves, in-use fluorescent lights.ģ. Move the machine as close to the router as possible. Connect your Ethernet cable directly to the router instead of switch, if possible.Ĭ. Temporarily disable any firewalls that may be affecting print speed.ī. If the print speed has not improved, go to step 2.Ī. If the print speed has improved, then the issue is resolved. Verify that the Print Quality or Resolution is set to the lowest acceptable print quality setting to maximize print speed.ĭepending on your printer driver version, you may have to choose a Basic or Advanced tab to see some of these om the application dropdown. Verify the Media Type or Paper Type setting is correct for your print job.Į. Click Print Settings from the Application dropdown.ĭ. The BrScript and AirPrint drivers are not supported by all models.Ĭ. Unless you have a specific reason for using either of these drivers, we suggest you use the standard CUPS driver for improved print speed. ![]() If you are using a BrScript printer driver or AirPrint printer driver, please note that these drivers may print slower than the standard Brother CUPS printer driver. Don't use a parallel-to-USB adapter cable.Ī. When connecting with a Parallel cable, use an IEEE 1284 parallel-to-parallel cable that is no longer than 6 feet, and is directly connected from the computer to your machine. We recommend this interface connection only if you are unable to connect using any other available connection method. Parallel Connection - This is the slowest connection method available. You will still be able to communicate from your wireless devices that connect to the same router. If your machine is in close proximity to your router, connect your machine with a wired ethernet cable, if supported by the machine. ![]() Wireless signals can be degraded by many environmental factors such as interference from other devices. Wireless LAN - This is the slowest network connection type available. You may connect your machine with an Ethernet cable to a wireless router and still communicate from your wireless devices that connect to the same router. Use this connection method if you need to print from more than one computer over a network. Wired Ethernet - This is the fastest network connection type available. Don't use a parallel-to-USB adapter cable. The machine will work with a USB 1.1 port. We recommend using a type A/B USB 2.0 interface cable with a USB 2.0 port on your computer, if possible. ![]() We recommend that your USB cable is no longer than 6 feet, and is directly connected from your computer to your Brother machine to prevent data loss. USB Connection - This connection will yield the fastest print speed. To determine the connection methods supported by your machine, visit. Then I put the shared printer back up and no changes.How print speed varies by connection method However in trying to put the Win 2003 Server driver on the server for PCL5, no change and no go. We did get it working once, on a local machine I copied a local driver PCL5 onto the machine and mapped the printer. I've tried PCL5, PCL6, PS Driver, PS Universal (which locked up the printer properties page and I had to remove and recreate a new printer setup), I've tried C4500 Universal drivers, HP Universal Drivers and it's still not working. I've recreated the port on the server, I've deleted the old printer and readded it from scratch. I made the same selection and added "Print as Image" and it sat at 64kb / 3.11Mb. It sits at 64kb / 237kb and takes about 2 - 3 minutes per page to print. I've unchecked all options except "Let printer determine colors". I'm running Windows 7 Pro, 4GB RAM, i7 (Dell E6410). I have a Ricoh C4500, I'm running Windows 2003 Server, with the printer shared (All other printers on this server print PDF's just fine). ![]()
