My printout contains garbled characters when I print from Windows or my Mac. What should I do?
-
Try the following:
- Make sure the USB cable is securely connected and meets the requirements. Then try printing again.
- Make sure your printer is selected as the active printer in your printing program.
- If you're using a switch box or USB hub with your printer, connect the printer directly to your computer.
- Turn the printer off and then on again.
- In Windows, clear any stalled print jobs from the Windows Spooler:
Windows 7:
Click and select Devices and Printers. Then right-click EPSON N10 N11 Series, select See what's printing, right-click the stalled print job, and click Cancel and then Yes. Windows Vista: - Click , select Control Panel, and click Printer under Hardware and Sound. Then right-click EPSON N10 N11 Series, select Open, right-click the stalled print job, and click Cancel and then Yes. Windows XP:
- Click Start and slect Printers and Faxes. (Or open the Control Panel, select Printers and Other Hardware if necessary, then Printers and Faxes). Then right-click EPSON N10 N11 Series, select Open, right-click the stalled print job, and click Cancel and then Yes.
