Printing pdfs with highlighted text/shaded areas

What application are you printing from?

Are you trying to print a PDF with a lot of scanned images or embedded content? Large PDFs can bog down printing.

Try to find a simple text-only PDF (no graphics or scanned stuff) with only a few pages and print it.

Some third party PDF generators do not make clean PDFs. They are malformed and can cause issues when printing.

Doesn't sound like your printer hardware. Try printing something other than your text document. If the page comes out clean/perfect then it means your printer is having a problem understanding your text document via print program translation. Otherwise try converting your text to pdf and print a sample page, if it works then again problem with software/printer translation.

Assuming you are using MS Windows then install FoxIT pdf reader which allows command line printing on Windows. Go to http://www.foxitsoftware.com/ to get it. Make sure your OKI printer is the default.

Once installed you can print using the command, from my dusty memory -

Reader.exe /p MyFile.pdf

I don't use Windows any longer, now exclusively Linux, so I might be mistaken.

The Epson printer is controlled directly by the computer it is connected to. The printer actually has no say in how and what it prints, so if you want to change any aspect of your print document (such as the text) you need to adjust the text in the document you are printing from. This only requires a few clicks of your mouse and once the text style is changed you may begin printing with the next font.
1. Open the program you are printing from and want to change the text font of.

2. Select "File," "Open" (or click the "Open" button on the front of the program), then choose the document you want to print.

3. Click-and-drag over the text you want to change. Once highlighted, click the font type option on the top of the page and choose the new font you want. Once selected, all the highlighted area changes.

4. Click "File," "Print" and choose the Epson Stylus CX5000 as the device you are printing from. Click "OK" and the document will print with the new text.

I hope you find it very helpful.

Several issues may be responsible for this, one you may not have right to print or copy, please check from the file menu the document properties, check security.

The other is check the printer properties, click on fit page

If you have already selected a certain area by highlighting, this is what you do:
Goto the File menu
Select print
You find the following options in most of the printers
o All
o Pages From....... To.......
o Selection
You will find the radio button to the left of one option selected.
Undoing that selection happens when you click on another one.
So, you click on the button next to Selection, then the others will be unselected
Good luck

I've run across this a few times. And its always the pdf you really wanted not the one you just finished printing (Sound familiar? ;-])

Assuming the pdf is not corrupted then you can be missing a font which you fix by telling it to use one you have. Or if that's not it try printing it in greyscale only. I have had issues with printing color pdfs that work when you print them black and white.

I would try cleaning the lasers with the brush inside the door. If that fails, you might try looking at the developers.

Without a doubt you have a problem with the fuser.
What that is caused from is buildup over time of ink on the heat roller. The teflon coating wears some and the ink sticks to the aluminum instead of pealing off onto the paper.
You then do not get enough heat or perssure to "fuse" the image into the paper.
Replacine the fuser will correct the problem.
