Incorrect Characters Print
If incorrect characters appear in your prints, try these solutions before reprinting:
• Make sure any cables are securely connected at both ends.
• In Windows, delete all jobs from the Windows Spooler. Click Print Queue on the Maintenance tab in
the printer settings window, and cancel any stalled print jobs.
• If your product is connected to a USB hub, connect it directly to your computer instead.
• If your computer entered sleep mode the last time you printed, the next print job after your computer
exits sleep mode may contain garbled characters. Print your document again.
• If incorrect characters still appear in your prints, try connecting your product using a different cable.
• Windows or Mac: Make sure you are using the printer software for this product. Check the product
name at the top of the driver window.
• If you are using the PostScript printer software, EPS files created in binary format may not print
correctly. Try creating the file in ASCII format instead.
• If you are using the Windows PostScript printer software, the product cannot print binary data if it is
connected to the computer using a USB cable. Try selecting ASCII or TBCP as the Output Protocol
setting on the Device Settings tab in the printer properties.
• If you are using the Windows PostScript printer software, select the appropriate substitution fonts on
the Device Settings tab in the printer properties.
