Printing Speed Versus Color

The BJC-6000 Series Printer Driver for Windows can interpret and translate the full

spectrum of colors, up to 16.7 million colors.When printing in color, there is a

significant increase in the amount of information that the driver has to interpret and

translate. When printing black ink only, the driver has only one color to interpret.

By decreasing the amount of colors that the printer driver has to interpret,you can

significantly decrease the time needed to translate the information. This will speed

up the overall printing process.

Ways to Improve Print Speed in Windows

To improve printing speed, you can try the following:

■ Turn off the Print Manager in the Windows Control Panel

(Windows 3.1 only)

This avoids the extra step of sending the print file to the Print Manager and

may increase your printing speed by as much as 25%, depending on the

computer you are using.

■ Add a permanent swap file in Windows 3.1

Under the 386 Enhanced icon in the Windows Control Panel, add or create a

permanent swap file that is from 4 MB to 9 MB. The computer will be able to

prepare the print file faster. See your Windows documentation for

instructions.

■ Avoid diffusion halftones

Choose Diffusion for Halftoning only when printing final output or

photographic images. To specify Halftoning, click the Advanced button on

the Main tab in the printer driver and then click the Quality tab.Choosing a

Halftoning setting of Fine/Fast allows documents to print as much as 20%

faster because the computer does not need to compute to “best possible

position” for each dot.

■ Avoid color adjustment

In the Color tab,disable the Color Adjustment option. This feature takes

longer to process in the computer because it requires special information.

(To disable Color Adjustment, click the Advanced button on the Main tab

in the printer driver and then click the Color tab.)
