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 Pal’s print head
nozzles may need cleaning.
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.
Follow these steps to clean the print head:
1
Load paper in PictureMate Pal so you can print a
nozzle check pattern after cleaning the print head.
