Incorrect Characters Print
If incorrect characters appear in your prints, try these solutions before reprinting:
• Make sure any cables are securely connected at both ends.
• In Windows, delete all print jobs from the Windows Spooler:
• Windows 10: Click and select (Settings) > Devices > Printers & scanners. Select your
product name and select Manage > Open print queue. Right-click the stalled print job, click
Cancel, and click Yes.
• Windows 8.x: Navigate to the Apps screen and select Control Panel > Hardware and Sound >
Devices and Printers. Right-click your product name, select See what's printing, and select your
product name again, if necessary. Right-click the stalled print job, click Cancel, and click Yes.
• Windows 7: Click and select Devices and Printers. Right-click your product name, select See
what's printing, and select your product name again, if necessary. Right-click the stalled print job,
click Cancel, and click Yes.

right-click your product name, and select Open. Right click the stalled print job, click Cancel, and
click Yes.
• In Windows, delete all jobs from the Windows Spooler. Click Print Queue on the Maintenance tab in
the printer settings window, and cancel any stalled print jobs.
• If your product is connected to a USB hub, connect it directly to your computer instead.
• If your computer entered sleep mode the last time you printed, the next print job after your computer
exits sleep mode may contain garbled characters. Print your document again.
• If incorrect characters still appear in your prints, try connecting your product using a different cable.
• If there are any paused print jobs, printed characters may be corrupted. Clear any paused print jobs.
• Make sure you are using the printer software for this product. Check the product name at the top of the
driver window.
