Thanks for your patience, Abraham. After further problem solving to our team, we have another potential troubleshooting suggestion: Delete your older print files.

The reason being, not unlike other hardware, as a printer gets loaded up with past print files, if your printer has very limited storage space left, it can pose a challenge for handling incoming files and file management. Deleting files may offer some speed enhancement.

[To delete a print job on a Form 2](https://support.formlabs.com/s/article/Deleting-a-print-job-on-the-printer-touchscreen?language=en_US):

1. Tap the queue icon on the home screen. The **Jobs** screen appears.
2. Select the saved print job from **Jobs**. A new screen appears.
3. Tap the trash icon to delete the print job. A confirmation screen appears.
4. Tap **Delete Print** to confirm. The print job is deleted from the printer.

Or, if there is a lengthy print queue you can perform a factory reset:  
[To perform a factory reset](https://support.formlabs.com/s/article/Form-2-Error-Messages?language=en_US#factory-reset):

1. Unplug the printer.
2. Reconnect the printer power cable.
3. When the Formlabs logo appears, press and hold the button until **Resetting to factory defaults** appears on the touchscreen.
4. Release the button.
5. The touchscreen displays **Factory reset complete** before initializing the printer.

To confirm a successful factory reset, tap queue on the touchscreen.

We hope this helps. While we do our very best to [support the Form 2 community,](https://forum.formlabs.com/t/ongoing-support-for-the-form-2/22871) as the Form 2 continues to mature, we are limited in our troubleshooting capabilities.
