The image is upside 
down.
Are you using a type of paper (tab 
paper, punch paper, etc.) that can only 
be loaded in a fixed orientation?
Rotate the image 180 degrees before printing.
When the image size and paper size are the same but 
the orientations are different, the orientation of the 
image is automatically rotated to match the paper. 
However, when the paper can only be loaded in a fixed 
orientation, this may result in the image being printed 
upside down.
The 180 degree rotation setting is selected as follows:
Windows:
On the [Main] tab of the printer driver.
Macintosh:
On the [Page Setup] menu. (Landscape orientation 
only.)
Is the correct binding position selected 
for two-sided printing?
Be sure to set the appropriate binding position.
When two-sided printing is performed, every other page 
is printed upside down when tablet binding is selected 
for the binding position.
The binding position is selected as follows:
Windows:
On the [Main] tab of the printer driver.
Many nonsense 
characters are printed.
Is your computer or the machine in an 
unstable state?
Cancel printing, restart your computer and the 
machine, and try printing again.
If little free space remains in the memory or hard drive of 
your computer, or many jobs have been spooled on the 
machine and it has little free memory remaining, printed 
text may turn into nonsense characters.
To cancel printing
Windows:
Double-click the printer icon that appears at the lower 
right of the task bar and click "Cancel All Documents" 
(or "Purge Print Documents") in the [Printer] menu.
Macintosh:
Double-click the name of the machine in the printer 
list, select the job that you wish to delete, and delete 
it.
At the machine:
Press the [JOB STATUS] key on the operation panel, 
touch the [Print Job] tab to change the screen, touch 
the key of the print job that you wish to delete, and 
touch the [Stop/Delete] key. A message appears to 
confirm the cancellation. Touch the [Yes] key.
If nonsense characters are still printed after restarting, 
ask your administrator to lengthen the timeout setting of 
"I/O Timeout" in the system settings (administrator).
 System Settings (Administrator) > "Printer Settings" >
"Interface Settings" > "I/O Timeout"
If nonsense characters are still printed after taking the 
above measures, remove and then reinstall the printer 
driver.
