You can set the length of the machine rest time until printing of the next page begins.
Moving the slider to the right increases the pause time, and moving the slider to the left decreases the time.
If the paper gets stained because the next page is ejected before the ink on the printed page dries, increase the ink drying wait time.
Reducing the ink drying wait time speeds up printing.

The machine can increase the gap between the print head and the paper during high-density printing to prevent paper abrasion.
Check this check box to prevent paper abrasion.
Select this check box only if the machine is feeding multiple sheets of plain paper at the same time.
Using this function slows down the print speed.
Usually, the Print Head Alignment function of Test Print on the pop-up menu in the Canon IJ Printer Utility is set to automatic head alignment, but you can change it to manual head alignment.
If the printing results are unsatisfactory even after you execute automatic head alignment, see "Aligning the Print Head Position from Your Computer," and execute manual head alignment.
Check this check box to perform the manual head alignment.
Uncheck this check box to perform the automatic head alignment.
