Re: Slow printing with scan PDF files

When I had an issue with slow printing from PDF files. It has always been cased either wrong print drivers or printer configured for a non TCP/IP port. I have found that the old PCL 6 drivers works best with the older machines, compared to the newer PCL 6 V4 drivers.

Also switch off Java if it's not being used (SP5730) and use the "print as image" option in the advanced section of the Acrobat print dialogue.

print driver needs to be pcl5e print driver for that copier . Set up print driver port to use the machine ipv4 address.

If the scanned files contain OCR information and has not been flattened prior to printing, they will have to be processed while printing. This will cause each page to take additional time to be queued. Try usinf print preview then print from the preview screen.

How "slow" are we talking here? a PDF will always take slightly longer to print than say a word document.

Check that the printer port is using IP not the WSD port.

Check the driver & ALL firmware is current.

Normal PDF file no issue only SCAN pdf taking time about 3 to 4 min for 1 page.

Re: Slow printing with scan PDF files

machine is configured with SAFEQ and universal PCL6 driver is used.same pdf files can be printed on other machine without any delay but mentioned machine is taking time.

Can you print files directly from USB thumb drive? This way you can eliminate print engine/FW issues and concentrate on SAFEQ/driver ones.

Re: Slow printing with scan PDF files

Scanned PDF's leave a lot of extra data in them that can cause slow printing. If the customer has access to a full version of Acrobat, they can save the file as a reduced size PDF, which will clean the file up.

I've also seen printing the file at a lower resolution work as well. Upscaling a 200 to 300 dpi scan to a 600x600 or 1200x1200 print job can be tough.
