Common printer friends know that the most headaches of the problem is printed out of garbled. Not only is the stylus printer, inkjet, laser printers will appear garbled phenomenon, in the face of the same fault, the consideration may not be the same. The factors that cause garbled faults are many, now, let us take a look at, what should start from, quickly and effectively deal with garbled.
1. Missing fonts
If the user accidentally removes the printer's computer system font, it can also affect the normal output of the printer, resulting in garbled characters. In this case, you can open the Control Panel, option font, double-click the font icon, click the File menu in the Open window, click Install New font from the pop-up drop-down menu, and then reinstall the font you want.
2, buffer overflow
The print tasks we submit to the computer sometimes accumulate, and if these tasks exceed a certain number or the task is too large, it will cause the printer to slow down or respond to errors, which may lead to garbled fault. If you encounter this type of problem, you can first try canceling the print job. Unable to solve, can restart the system and printer, and then unable to solve, you need some tedious operation, click "Control Panel", select "Services" in "Administrative Tools", open the list of services, select "Print Spooler" service in the list, Abort this service. Then in the installation disk WINNT, System32, spoolprinters folder to delete all files, wait a moment, and then restart the "Print Spooler" service, reprint, the problem can generally be resolved.
3. The virus is haunting
In the correct printing operation, if suddenly garbled, then we must first suspect that the local computer is infected with the virus, because the outbreak of the virus is often the root cause of sudden garbled characters. In this case, timely use of the latest version of the anti-virus software, the system thoroughly comprehensive antivirus anti-virus operation, sometimes can quickly solve the problem.
4. Wrong driver
Printer drivers often share the same dynamic link files with some applications, so the printer driver is vulnerable to frequent uninstall and deletion operations on the application, and once the printer is missing a driver file, it is inevitable that it will work with a print garbled appearance. It is recommended that you reinstall the latest driver for the appropriate printer, and then run the Print test page after the installation is complete to test that the printer is working properly.
5. BIOS Matching
To change the printer parallel port mode in the BIOS settings (if you are using a traditional print line instead of a USB print line), enter the "Integrated Peripheral→parallel port mode" in the BIOS with the following four modes of "SPP" (Standard and Line port), "EPP" (Enhanced parallel port), "ECP" (extended parallel port), "Ecp+epp". If you have an older printer model, it is recommended that you set it to SPP mode. Of course, the current mainstream printer is recommended to set the Ecp+epp mode.
6. File loss
The operating system is not as stable as we think, after a period of time, the system files may be damaged or lost, which is likely to be the cause of printing abnormal or garbled. The solution, of course, is to mention it from the operating system installation disk
Take the appropriate file, or restore the corresponding system files with the system's own tools.
7, transmission is not smooth
First let the printer self-test, if the self-test page is normal, and you confirm that the computer is not a problem (no virus, operating system and driver are not a problem, the BIOS setup is correct), and even print the test page is the case, it is necessary to consider the data transfer problem
Up. Switch to MS-DOS mode, execute the "dir>prn" command on the DOS command line, and test that the print content is normal.
If this case is still garbled, that is the cable connection failure, because the printing cable is loose, the interface is damp or damaged
Bad can cause problems. At this point, consider reseating or replacing a new cable for a try.
Note: The above are just the author of the usual application process of the accumulation, I hope that when you encounter such a fault, you can get some inspiration.
