Aligning the Print Head
If you have moved PictureMate and the print quality is not as
good as it used to be—if your prints look fuzzy or have light
or dark lines running through them—you may need to align
the print head.
1. Load paper in PictureMate so you can print the head
alignment pattern.
2. Press
Menu.
3. Press or to highlight
Maintenance and press OK.
4. Press or to select

5. Press
OK again to continue.
6. Press
Print. The alignment pattern is printed:
7. Look at the printed squares to determine which one is the
most even, with no streaks or white lines. (You may need to
use a magnifying glass.)
8. Press or to highlight the number for the best square
(
1 to 9) in set #1. Then press OK.
9. Press or to highlight the number for the best square
(
1 to 9) in set #2. Then press OK.
PictureMate aligns the print head and exits the
Maintenance menu.
Note: The number that you enter becomes the default setting (#5)
the next time you align the print head.
Taking PictureMate With You
PictureMate’s handle makes it easy to carry short distances.
If PictureMate is going to travel a longer distance, pack it
carefully to protect it from getting damaged.
Caution: Keep PictureMate out of the sun and don’t leave it in your
car or other location where it can get too hot or too cold. Otherwise,
PictureMate may be damaged or ink may leak.
