Printed Characters Are Incorrect or Garbled

❏ Connect the USB cable securely to the printer and the computer.
❏ Cancel any paused print jobs.
❏ 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.
❏ If you use the printer driver you had previously used, printed characters may be garbled. Make sure that the
printer driver you are using is for this printer. Check the printer name on the top of the printer driver window.

The Printed Image Is Inverted

Clear any mirror image settings in the printer driver or the application.
❏ Windows
Clear Mirror Image on the printer driver's More Options tab.
❏ Mac OS
Clear Mirror Image from the print dialog's Print Settings menu.

Mosaic-Like Patterns in the Prints

When printing images or photos, print using high-resolution data. Images on websites are often low resolution
although they look good enough on the display, and so print quality may decline.

The Printout Problem Could Not be Cleared

If you have tried all of the solutions and have not solved the problem, try uninstalling and then reinstalling the
printer driver.
