Epson PictureMate Pal PM200 Photos Not Printing

Are you having trouble printing photos from you Epson Picture Mate Pal PM200? Use this troubleshooting guide to help diagnose why.

If the printer is turning on. Check that all cables—power, USB, or memory card connections—are properly plugged in and secure.

Another issue that could occur is with the paper and ink being used. Ensure paper is loaded correctly into the tray and that the ink cartridge has enough ink for printing. Also, inspect the printer for any paper jams that might be preventing operation.

If you're using a memory card, confirm that it’s a supported format such as SD or Memory Stick. Make sure the card is inserted fully and correctly into the slot. If issues persist, try reformatting the card using your camera after backing up your photos.

Check that your images are saved in a standard JPEG format. Many printers do not support image files like PNG, TIFF, or RAW, so using unsupported formats may cause problems.

Take a look at the printer’s LCD screen for any error messages. Also, ensure that your photos are stored in a folder structure the printer can recognize, such as the root directory or a DCIM folder.

To perform a basic reset, power off the printer and unplug it from the wall for 60 seconds. Afterward, plug it back in and turn it on again. Confirm that the printer’s firmware is up to date and that the appropriate drivers for your operating system (Windows or macOS) are installed.

Access the Maintenance menu on your printer and select the Head Cleaning option. If ink is clogged or dried up, this cleaning process can help restore proper function.

If none of the above steps resolve the issue, try using a different memory card or photo file. Alternatively, attempt to print from a computer instead of directly from the memory card slot. If the problem continues, the print head or main board may be faulty, and professional servicing could be necessary.
