MPC3003 Slow Printing

[barber782]

Hi Everyone,

We have various customers with Ricoh MPC3003's that take a long time to print documents. Does anyone know of any current problems with slow printing with these machines? firmware, settings etc.

Cheers

Re: MPC3003 Slow Printing

Need more info... Are they using windows 8? Are they printing using "Standard TCP/IP ports"? etc, etc...

Yes, read the notes for the PCL firmware updates and see if it sounds like your issues.

We have several 3003's at the moment and haven't had a problem with speed.. but we update firmware immediately on install so it could be you need to check firmware.

We do have issues with a few of the machines not feeding from the bypass when paper / labels / card is low if anyone knows about that?

Re: MPC3003 Slow Printing

I'm afraid there is nothing you can do to improve speed of printing large files, it is due to the processor chip and is a limitation of the device

Hi,

Thanks for all your replies. Just to add that we are using the Postscript Option, and printing from MAC's.


Still on the search for a possible resolution.

.... Using TCP/IP.

Re: MPC3003 Slow Printing

I agree with Debs. Postscript files can generate a lot of data, far more than the file itself.

I had 4 devices in the field MPc2003/3003's printing from word (standard word docs) tcp/ip print

hdd was formated then stamp data done had no issues

In the Printer properties, Start
printing after last page is spooled"

this helped alot.

Re: MPC3003 Slow Printing

What driver are they using? Is it just one type of file that causes issues? Have you tried re-seating the RAM? Have you tried setting the port to LPR? The queue name is lp.

Re: MPC3003 Slow Printing

Yeah, didn't see that when I was using the BlackBerry last night... Hopefully the issue was fixed by now.

Re: MPC3003 Slow Printing

I think the answer was to swap it for a konica lol. Joking aside, changing network speed to half duplex on machine helped.
