Troubleshooting jobs printed slowly

There are several explanations for slow printing.

• The application may be generating the output for the printer. This can cause a long delay before the job is even sent to the queue. Look at the status of the application to determine if this is the case.

• Interrupt conflicts may exist between the port and another device. Configure the printer for no interrupts (polled mode).

• The baud rate may be slow (serial printer).

• XON/XOFF may need to be enabled (serial printers).

• Your hardware (cable, port, printer) may be faulty.

• The /B parameter may be needed with CAPTURE if the job is a binary file.
