Printer prints meaningless characters and symbols
Troubleshooting
Printer prints meaningless
characters and symbols
Check the items below if the printer prints bizarre, meaningless characters.
● Confirm that a previous print job was not paused before it finished.
If the previous print job was paused before it finished, switch off the printer and computer. Switch on the printer and
computer again.
• To determine if any suspended print jobs exist in Windows, click the Start button, point to Settings, and
click Printers. Double-click the Canon BJC-8200 icon. If any unfinished print jobs are listed, cancel them.
For details about cancelling a print job, refer to your Windows manual or on-line Help.
● Confirm that the correct printer driver was selected for the print job.
Start the print procedure again and make sure Canon BJC-8200 is displayed in the Name entry box of the Print dialog.
Meaningless characters and symbols may be printed if you are using other printer drivers.
• To avoid this problem, you may want to select the printer as the default printer. For details, refer to the
“BJC-8200 Reference Guide” on the CD-ROM, your Windows manual, or Windows on-line Help.
