Print Quality Problems; Software Installation Problems - Epson PICTUREMATE PM 225 Basics Manual

Printing is too slow.
●
It takes a few moments for PictureMate to process
your images before printing them.
●
If PictureMate is in a hot or sunny location, move it
to a cooler place and try printing again.
For faster printing, try these tips:
● Don't print more than 40 pictures at a time.
●
Photos with borders print faster than borderless
photos.
● Turn off special features such as color effects and
red-eye reduction.

Software Installation Problems

Follow the instructions beginning on page 23 to
install your software. Don't connect PictureMate to
your computer until you are instructed to.

Close other programs, including screen savers and
virus protection software, and try installing again.

listed in your online User's Guide.

To print over a network, see the online User's
Guide for instructions on setting up printing.
