To troubleshoot your printer’s sudden language switch, there are a few steps you should take in order:
- Check the printer’s language setting.
Print a Settings page to verify that the language specified is the correct one. - Verify all the cables are securely installed and connected. Try reconnecting the cables if necessary.
- Make sure the printer driver software is installed and configured for the language you need.
- Check the printer’s input tray. Make sure it is stocked with the correct type of paper and language.
- Clean and unclog any jammed paper.
- Perform a cold reset on the printer, which resets all settings to their factory defaults.
- Reinstall the driver, or download the latest version.
