Jobs take ages to start over Wi-Fi

01 · Identify — does this match what you see?

• Long pause before the first page
• Fast over USB, slow over Wi-Fi
• Large photos time out

02 · Resolve — follow in order

1. 1

   Check the signal strength on the printer's network status page. Below half, move the printer closer to the router.

2. 2

   Connect the printer to the 2.4 GHz band — it reaches further through walls than 5 GHz.

3. 3

   Print in Standard quality instead of High for everyday documents; the file sent is far smaller.

4. 4

   Turn off bidirectional or two-way communication in the driver if the delay is at the start of every job.

5. 5

   For very large jobs, connect a USB cable temporarily.
