Printing is too slow.

Because of PictureMate’s high print quality, it may take a little while to print your photos. If you are printing from a computer, check the requirements in System Requirements. If you’re printing a high-resolution image, you 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:

■Choose Black & White if your photo doesn’t include color.

■If PictureMate is connected to a USB hub, disconnect any USB devices that you’re not using.

Memory Card Problems

■Make sure only one card is inserted at a time.

■PictureMate recognizes and can print the first 999 photos on a memory card.

■Make sure photos are in JPEG or uncompressed Tiff format and taken with a DCF-compliant digital camera.

■Make sure you follow the instructions in the Using PictureMate With a Computer booklet to install the software, including the card utilities: Card Monitor and PhotoStarter.

■Check your PhotoStarter settings. See Configuring PhotoStarter for instructions.

■If you access the card from your computer and delete files, the card may not work correctly with your camera. Always delete pictures using your camera.

■If you’re using Windows XP, you may need to install your Windows storage device driver. See your Windows help for more information.
