SYMPTOMS

When you print to a Canon BJC-800 printer in Windows 95 using the Canon BubbleJet BJC-800 printer driver, printing seems slow.

CAUSE

The Canon BJC-800 printer is designed to print on coated paper. When you use coated paper, the printer can use its fast "A" printing mode. When you use plain paper with this printer, the printer uses its slower "D" printing mode. The Windows 95 driver mentioned above defaults to using the slower "D" printing mode.

RESOLUTION

Set the printer driver to use the faster "A" printing mode. To do so, follow these steps:
  1. Click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click Printers.
  2. Use the right mouse button to click the Canon BubbleJet BJC-800 printer driver, and then click Properties on the menu that appears.
  3. Click the Paper tab.
  4. In the Media Choice box, click "Coated Paper (Mode A)."
  5. Click OK.
