When I'm printing one page of text in Word, everything is ok - it's fast and text is black. But when I want to print from the .pdf file or in duplex mode, speed of the printing is extremaly slow, and text color is grey. What should I do? Brother DCP-T300.
Questa è una buona domanda?

Hi,
Can't find out if it applicable to Brother printers but with Canon printers when printing in duplex mode, black is made up from a composite of all the colours and not black and it is a lighter print.
This is to prevent it showing through to the other side of the page and spoiling the printed page presented to the reader
Can only suggest that if you can, try another Brother printer to see if this occurs on it too. At least it may indicate that it is intentional.
With regard to slow printing of .pdf, try the following:
Open a PDF file
From the menu, select File > Print >Advanced > select "Let printer determine colors” then click OK then OK to print the document
OR
In Adobe Reader in Advanced print setup enable Print as image and check if the print speed has increased.

Slow and washed out printing appears when I'm printing in booklet or duplex. I don't understand why, because it's only software feature.

Hi adiexsims, Good day, some things I will try is like to update the printer firmware first. How do you connect the printer by? USB ? or Wifi?
You mention PDF, what app do you open for your PDF? and version of the software?

Hello Augustine, thanks for your reply.
My printer is updated to its newest firmware, and its connected by USB. I'm using Google Chrome and Adobe software to open .pdf files. But the problem is with duplex mode, when I'm using it - printing is slow and quality is worse... I can upload comprasion video or something. Printing one page without duplex takes something like 4-6s to print, but using duplex 10-15s.

Hi,
Has it worked OK before?
If so are you using the Brother DCP-T300 printer drivers appropriate to your OS or do you have the OS supplied drivers for your T300 printer installed? i.e. Brother T300 drivers for Windows /Mac/etc OR Windows/Mac/etc drivers for Brother T300 They may be different and the manufacturer knows their product best, not the OS supplier.
If you are using a Mac computer (you didn't specify and Chrome and Adobe will work on it as well as on Windows, (appropriate version obviously) there are very recent updated T300 printer drivers available from Brother.
If you have a Windows computer, try reinstalling the latest appropriate Brother supplied printer drivers as Windows may have overwritten them and installed its' own drivers when it performed a major update. (There have been three in the last 12 months for Win 10)

Hi.
No, it never worked propely. Even on previous firmware version (now I'm using H - latest version). I'm using two diffrent machines, both on Windows platform (Windows 7 and Windows 10). I alredy tried reinstalling the drivers, but nothing changed. https://ibb.co/mof9Ec As you can see, there is a pretty big difference with print quality. Pictures are unedited, straight from the scanner. Left side was with duplex mode turned off, and right with duplex mode on, even if I was printing one page.

Hi,
Just so we are talking about the same thing, presumably you are manually printing duplex this way, as your printer doesn't support auto duplex?
Have you tried to adjust the colour setting in the Advanced tab of printer preferences when using the printer in "duplex"type mode?
