Maintaining PictureMate
Cleaning and Checking the Print Head
Nozzles
If your print quality is not as good as it used to be, if
your photos are light or faint, or you are missing colors
in your prints, your print head nozzles may be clogged.
Note:
❏
Print head cleaning consumes some ink. To avoid
wasting ink, clean the print head only if print quality
declines; for example, if the printout is blurry or the
color is incorrect or missing.
❏
If a message on the LCD screen tells you that the
cartridge needs replacement or is low on ink, you
cannot clean the print head. You must first replace
the photo cartridge.
