Slow printing on Epson Inkjet printers over network shares

Written by

High Speed Copies

To print multiple copies of your document faster, select High Speed Copies. This speeds up printing by using your hard disk space as a cache when printing multiple copies of your document.

Disable EPSON Status Monitor 3

The status monitor can cause printing over networks to stop completely, either remove it or disable it monitoring printer over a network.

Always spool RAW datatype (for Windows XP and 2000)

Select this check box to have Windows NT based clients spool documents using the RAW format instead of the EMF (metafile) format (Windows NT based applications use the EMF format by default).

Try using this option if documents spooled in EMF format do not print correctly.

Spooling RAW datatype requires less resources than EMF, so some problems ("Insufficient memory/disk space to print", "Slow print speed", etc.) can be solved by selecting the Always spool RAW datatype check box.

Printing in RAW format can also speed up printing.

Page Rendering Mode (for Windows XP and 2000)

Select this check box when the print speed is extremely slow or when the print head stops for a few minutes while printing.

Print as Bitmap (for Windows XP and 2000)

Select this check box when the print speed is extremely slow or when the print head stops for a few minutes while printing. Try this option if Always spool RAW datatype and Page Rendering Mode do not solve the problem.


Apply these settings (except Epson monitoring prefernces where appropiate) to all computers, server or client.
