After a period of use, the printing speed will decrease and eventually become unable to meet the needs and frequency of use. In that case, instead of investing in a new printer, you can try solutions to increase the printer speed as instructed below.
Reasons why the printer speed is slow
Before exploring ways to increase printer speed, you need to understand why the working speed of the printer is slow. Here are some main reasons:
- Using more than 2 printers with shared driver in one case.
- Using a USB port that is too long or going through adapters.
- The file to be printed is too heavy.
- Set the number of copies to more than 50 sheets.
- Set too many print commands at the same time.
- Windows operating system is malfunctioning.
- The computer configuration is weak.
A slow printer directly affects work efficiency. Simply put, with normal printers, it takes 3-5 minutes to print 50 continuous pages. However, with printers experiencing problems that lead to slow printing, it will take more time to print 50 pages of documents.
Therefore, extended printing time will reduce work efficiency. For printing shops, this will make customers wait longer and may make them feel dissatisfied.
