When you print using Middle Thick Paper, Thick Paper 1, Thick Paper 2, or Thick Paper 3, the print speed may change.
The printing speed may slow down depending on the paper size, type, thickness, or orientation.
When paper smaller than 279 mm (11 inches) in width is used for printing, the printing speed may gradually slow down.
