    Bizhub 222 slow printing

    any way to get this to print 11 x 17 pdfs faster. It is taking up to 30 mins to print a 7 page job. They are trying to reduce large wide format drawings and print onto 11 x 17 paper. The file size is anywhere from 4 to 23 mb
    So far I have tried different drivers, changed the copier user setting to printer and tried changing all kind of settings in the printer properties, etc.
    It prints 8/12 x 11 fine.
    Any thing else I can try? I just sold them this machine and they are not to happy.
    thanks for any help

    Does it do this from all programs? Does it only happen when downsizing drawings? Sounds like it is having trouble compressing all that data.

      No Solution, it is specification!!!

      Sorry to be so straight foward regarding this matter but, this is really a specification and not a problem.

      The controller in question is the same of the previous models(ex.di2510 and bizhub 250/350) and the same "specification" or problem(it depends of the point of view!) is experienced in this former models.

      The reason for this is that this is really not Konica Minolta Machines!

      They are NEC manufactured!

      I hope this helps!

        TO FTS.

        Exactly the answer I would expect from someone with your name. Actually if I was the admin I would delete your account. Profanity takes away any integrity that this site has.

        If you don't have an answer DON'T POST A REPLY.

        My question is exactly what these forums are for. This forum is not just for repair questions, it is for "Copier Technical Discussion". If you can read see what it says at top of this page.

        Thanks for the help MORON !!!!

            IMPROVE the machines performance, regarding .pdf slow printing.

            The Key word is improve and improving does not mean that the problem will be solved.

            Yes we can improve the machines performance by 5 to 10% with this settings but, we will never unfortunately solve this matter.

            And this was the idea to take-out of my post.

            And, yes i agree with him when he stated that this forum is more than posting technical problems, is also for "Copier Technical Discussion", what i do not understand is why he instead of creating a good discussion out of my former post, he went for the worst way possible, using uneducated and bad language terms and in the same way taking "stupid" conclusions around nicknames(which is diferent than name!).
            This kind of behaviour is a really good reason for the Administrator of the forum to be concerned and He defenitily should do something about it!

              just an fyi on this family of copiers. they rip slower if the hdd is installed without extra ram. if the fax unit is installed and ram is upgraded you loose some scanning features.

              try disableing hdd and see if speed increases.

                We have found that the processor (333mhz) in this model is just to slow. The BH420-500 Has a 500 mhz. Same print job prints a little quicker. The color models have a 1028mhz.
                And print the same job no prob. Same with the pp4650. We tested them in the shop with the customers problem print job.
