Printed Characters Are Incorrect or Garbled

The following causes can be considered.

The USB cable is not connected correctly.

Solutions

Connect the USB cable securely to the printer and the computer.

There is a job waiting to be printed.

Solutions

If there are any paused print jobs, printed characters may be corrupted.

The computer has been manually put into the Hibernate mode or the Sleep mode while printing.

Solutions

Do not put the computer manually into the Hibernate mode or the Sleep mode while printing. Pages of garbled text may be printed next time you start the computer.

You are using the printer driver for a different printer.
