Cleaning the Print Head
If your print quality is not as good as it used to be, if
your photos are too light, or if they are missing colors
or have lines running through them, PictureMate's
print head nozzles may be clogged.
Note: If the low ink indicator appears in the upper right corner of
the photo viewer, you can't clean the print head until you
replace the photo cartridge.
Follow these steps to clean the print head:
1
Press the Menu button.
2
Press or to highlight Maintenance.
3
Press to open the Maintenance menu.
