A cable connection is poor
A common cause for nonsense characters is a poor cable
connection between the printer and computer.
Make sure the cable connection at both ends is good and that the
cable is securely fastened.
!
The system needs to be restarted
Turn off the printer and computer for a few seconds, turn them both
back on, and then try printing again.
!
The wrong printer driver is selected
Check to make sure your printer is selected as the current or
default printer. For information about setting the default printer in
Windows, see “Setting the default printer.” For information about
setting the default printer in the Mac OS, see “Changing printer
settings and printing documents.”
!
The document file is damaged
Occasionally, a document file can become damaged. If you can
print other documents from the same software package, try to print
using a backup copy of your document, if available.
Printout is slanted or skewed
If paper is twisting as it feeds or margins appear crooked, the paper
guides might not be pressed snugly but gently against the paper. Both
the length and width paper guides must be gently pressed against the
paper.
