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
nozzles may need cleaning.
Note: If the screen displays a
Photo cartridge low
message,
you may not be able to clean the print head until you replace
the photo cartridge.
Follow these steps to clean the print head:
