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 a shielded "AB" cable not more than 6.5 feet (2 meters) long.
- Make sure your product is selected as the active product in your printing program.
- Turn off the product, check that the cables are securely connected, turn it back on, then try printing again.
- If you're using a switch box or USB hub with your product, connect the product directly to your computer.
- Turn the product off and then on again.
- In Windows, clear any stalled print jobs from the Windows Spooler: Windows 7:
Click and select Devices and products. Then right-click EPSON NX130 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 product under Hardware and Sound. Then right-click EPSON NX130 Series, select Open, right-click the stalled print job, and click Cancel and then Yes.
Windows XP:
Click Start and select products and Faxes. (Or open the Control Panel, select products and Other Hardware if necessary, and then products and Faxes). Then right-click EPSON NX130 Series, select Open, right-click the stalled print job, and click Cancel and then Yes.
