Cleaning the Print Head
If your print quality is not as good as it used to be—if photos
are too light, are missing colors, or have lines running through
them—PictureMate’s print head may need cleaning. Follow
the steps below to clean the print head.
Note: If you see a Print Pack low message on the photo viewer, you
can’t clean the print head until you replace the Print Pack.
1. Load paper in PictureMate so you can print a nozzle check
pattern after cleaning the print head.
2. Press Menu .
3. Press or to highlight Maintenance and press OK .
4. Press or to select Auto Cleaning and press OK . You
see a confirmation screen:
5. Press OK again to clean the print head. Cleaning takes about
60 seconds. PictureMate makes some noise and you see a
Cleaning message.
When cleaning is complete, PictureMate prints a nozzle
check pattern.
6. Check the pattern to see if there are any gaps in the lines.
7. If there are no gaps, press Yes to finish.
If there are gaps, press No to clean the print head again. You
may need to clean it two or three times before the nozzles
are clean.
If you don’t see any improvement after cleaning three times,
refer to the on-screen User’s Guide for additional solutions.
