Solving print problems

Problem

Recommendation

The printer prints unexpectedly 
or it prints garbage data.

Make sure the printer cable is not too long. We recommend you use a parallel 
or USB cable that is less than 2 meters (6.5 feet) in length.

Make sure that the printer cable is not damaged or broken. 

If you are using an interface-switching device, remove it. Connect your computer 
directly to your printer, and then try again.

Check that you have chosen the appropriate printer driver with ‘Set as Default’.

Make sure that the printer is not connected to the same port that is also 
connected to a storage device or scanner. Take away all other devices and 
connect the port only to the printer. 

Turn off Printer Status Monitor in the 

Device Options

 tab in the printer driver.
