MPC 3003 Slow Printing

Re: MPC 3003 Slow Printing

Gents,

I was scratching my head on this issue. Firmwares are updated, HDD reformatted, Printer App, NCS has been reset but still prints slow in some particular PDFs.
The PDF was the scanned document from the device. If you compare the print speed from a word-converted PDF, it prints fast within 2 seconds. Tried printing thru my cable and got the same slow result.

The printer driver is a UPD since the device is connected to a Print Management software.

*it prints slow on scanned documents only!

I have simulated the same document to an older device with the same print driver and guess what, it prints within 4 seconds! I called up the IT to try to install the normal PCL driver from ricoh to test it. Awaiting for his input as I am on my way to visit the site.

We were having this exact issue on a Ricoh MP C4503 with Word file (with Pics) and PDF's after much testing we just found the issue.

Go to web Image Monitor
Configuration
Interface settings
change ethernet speed from 100Mbs full duplex to Auto Select: Enable 1Gbps

before a Word Doc of 8.7mb was taking a minute or more to spool, after it took about 15 seconds and no pausing at the machine.

Hope this helps
