A Canon TS9500 Series printer may spend a long time processing a job before printing starts, pause for extended periods between pages, or print much more slowly than it did previously. In some cases, this is normal behavior related to print quality, ink drying, or processing a large file. In other cases, the cause is a weak network connection, Quiet Mode, or incorrect driver settings.<\/p>\n
This guide applies to the following models:<\/p>\n
All the models listed above belong to the Canon TS9500 series and use the same basic print speed settings in Windows.<\/p>\n
Do not turn off the printer immediately<\/strong><\/p>\n If the power lamp is flashing, the computer or printer may still be processing and transferring data. Large photos, PDF files, and documents containing graphics take longer than usual to start printing.<\/p>\n First, wait several minutes and check the print queue. Turning off the printer while data is being transferred will cancel the job.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n This test helps determine whether the delay is related to Windows.<\/p>\n If the copy is produced at normal speed, the printer itself is probably working correctly. Check the driver, file, print queue, and computer connection.<\/p>\n If copying has also become very slow, disable Quiet Mode and check the printer\u2019s own settings.<\/p>\n Quiet Mode reduces mechanical operating noise, but it also reduces the printer\u2019s speed.<\/p>\n If the speed increases after Quiet Mode is disabled, there is no malfunction. The slower operation was caused by Quiet Mode.<\/p>\n The setting may have been enabled through the driver and applied to all jobs sent from the computer.<\/p>\n If Canon IJ Printer Assistant Tool is not displayed in the menu:<\/p>\n The section names may vary slightly depending on the driver version.<\/p>\n High-quality mode uses more print head passes. This is especially noticeable when printing photos and large-format images.<\/p>\n Fast mode is not always available<\/strong><\/p>\n The available quality options depend on the selected paper type. Fast printing is unavailable for some types of photo paper.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n If photo paper is selected in the driver, the printer will operate more slowly than when printing on standard office paper.<\/p>\n For standard documents, select:<\/p>\n Do not select photo paper for a standard office sheet. This will not improve text quality but may noticeably reduce printing speed.<\/p>\n Slow printing is normal when printing photos, especially if the following settings are used together:<\/p>\n During automatic duplex printing, the printer pauses after printing the first side to allow the ink to dry. It then automatically pulls the sheet back into the printer.<\/p>\n This pause is normal.<\/p>\n To test single-sided printing speed:<\/p>\n If the pages print quickly without duplex printing, the delay was caused by automatic paper reversal and ink drying.<\/p>\n Do not pull out the sheet during the pause<\/strong><\/p>\n During automatic duplex printing, the sheet temporarily remains in the output area. The printer will pull it back in automatically to print the second side.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The Canon driver allows the pause between pages to be increased. If this setting was previously set to a high value, the printer will pause for a long time after every sheet.<\/p>\n Do not set the minimum wait time if:<\/p>\n If prints begin to smear after the pause is reduced, move the slider slightly to the right.<\/p>\n The Prevent Paper Abrasion setting increases the distance between the print head and paper. It should be enabled only when the printed surface is actually scratched or stained.<\/p>\n Keeping this mode enabled may reduce printing speed or quality.<\/p>\n This setting may also be available in Canon IJ Printer Assistant Tool under the custom settings.<\/p>\n If the paper begins rubbing against the print head after the option is disabled, enable it again and check whether the sheets are curled.<\/p>\n This test helps determine whether the delay is related to a specific file.<\/p>\n If the simple text prints quickly, the printer and connection are working. The original PDF file, photo, or application is causing the problem.<\/p>\n If even simple text takes a long time to transfer and print, check the print queue, driver, and connection.<\/p>\n A complex PDF file may contain:<\/p>\n As a result, the computer may take a long time to create the print data.<\/p>\n Try the following:<\/p>\n If the file opens slowly even when you are not printing it, the problem is related to the document itself or the computer\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n Use this method if a large document takes a long time to process, stops partway through, or does not start printing at all.<\/p>\n This mode reduces the amount of print data created by the application, but it may reduce image quality in some cases.<\/p>\n After printing the problematic file, it is recommended that you select Off<\/strong> again.<\/p>\n Windows first creates and saves temporary print data. If the computer has insufficient memory or disk space, preparing the job may take a long time.<\/p>\n If the system drive is almost full:<\/p>\n Old or damaged jobs may slow down the processing of new documents.<\/p>\n With a weak signal, transferring a large image to the printer may take much longer than the printing itself.<\/p>\n The computer and printer must be connected to the same home or office network. Do not use a guest network.<\/p>\n The Canon utility can check the connection and repair an incorrect network port.<\/p>\n If the application is not installed, its installation file may be named:<\/p>\n Wireless Direct creates a direct connection between the computer and printer without using a router. For regular printing of large documents, a standard home network or USB connection is more convenient.<\/p>\n If the computer is connected directly to a printer network with a name similar to:<\/p>\n connect the printer to the router and install it as a standard network printer.<\/p>\n This is especially useful if you need Internet access and printing from several devices at the same time.<\/p>\n For a USB connection, use a direct connection.<\/p>\n The printer supports Hi-Speed USB. If it is connected through an old or slow intermediate device, transferring large files may take longer.<\/p>\n A standard Windows driver may behave differently from the Canon MP Driver.<\/p>\n If Microsoft IPP Class Driver, a standard WSD driver, or another generic driver is being used, install the complete Canon package.<\/p>\nMethod 1: Check Copying Speed Without a Computer<\/h2>\n
