PictureMate Pal makes noise when you turn it on or after it has been sitting for
awhile.
PictureMate Pal is performing routine maintenance.
Printing is too slow.
■ It takes PictureMate Pal a few moments to process your images before printing
them.
■ If PictureMate Pal is in a hot or sunny location, move it to a cooler place and try
printing again.
■ If you are printing from a computer, make sure your system meets the
requirements in System Requirements.
If you’re printing a high-resolution image, you may need more than the minimum
requirements listed. You may also need to:
■ Clear space on your hard drive or run a defragmentation utility.
■ Close open programs that you’re not using.
■ Increase your system’s memory (RAM).
For the fastest printing, try these tips:
■ Photos with borders print faster than borderless photos.
■ Before you print directly from PictureMate Pal, press Menu, select Color Effect,
and set it to None.
■ When you print directly from PictureMate Pal, JPEG files print faster than TIFF
files.
■ Before you print from your computer, select No Correction (instead of Auto
Correction)
in your print settings. See Printing From Your Computer for
instructions.
■ If PictureMate Pal is connected to a USB hub, disconnect any USB devices that
you’re not using.
Memory Card Problems
