Hello

I have possible answers for you on the issue your having. 1. get the latest firmware from the manufactures website 2. install the driver that is compatible to your operating system I,E windows or apple. most likely the cause is print language related and since is PDF which uses postscript language check your printer driver for PCL options like PCL 5e PCL XL also you may want to download the PS driver. In most cases the printer manufacture provides many options for drivers and I have found that the full on driver which has a lot more in options works the best. Hope that helps.
