Setting Up Your Printer
Use this chapter to set up and start using your all-in-one printer.
Selecting a printer location
Place your printer on a clean, flat surface in a dry, well-ventilated location, away from direct sunlight. Avoid areas with high levels of dust and debris. Do not expose the printer and paper to ventilation ducts, open doors, or high traffic, as airborne particles can affect picture quality.
Allow enough space on all sides of the printer to comfortably connect and disconnect cables, change ink cartridges, and remove or load paper.
To ensure getting good signals from your networked computer(s), minimize obstacles between the network router and the printer (and other wireless devices, such as Bluetooth–enabled camera phones, etc). The printer will function best with as clear a “line of sight” as possible between it and the router.
In addition, keep the printer away from microwaves, and away from 2.4 GHz wireless telephone handsets.

Handling Paper
Your printer accepts print stock of various types and sizes, including letter-and legal-size plain paper, photo paper, transparencies, T-shirt transfers, envelopes, cards, and labels. It automatically detects the size and whether or not photo paper is loaded into the paper tray. Kodak photo paper contains bar codes that allow your printer to detect the paper type that optimizes your photo prints.
The bottom paper tray accepts media from 6 to 9 inches wide, and from 7 to 14 inches long (see the Note in Loading plain paper, page 33); its capacity is 100 sheets of 20 lb. plain paper. The top tray capacity is 40 sheets of 4X6, 4X7, or 5X7 inch paper.
Handling paper
Follow the precautions below when handling paper:
• Hold the paper by the edges; avoid placing your fingerprints on it.
• Do not touch the glossy side of photo paper.
• Store paper flat, away from direct sunlight and heat (such as in a car parked in the sun).
Loading the paper trays
Things to keep in mind
• Before you start loading any type of media into the printer, lift the paper output tray
.
• Pull the paper stop (at the edge of paper output tray) until it is fully extended.
• If the paper you are going to use is less than A4 size, lift the hinged end of the
paper stop toward you until it perpendicular to the paper stop. This prevents the printed paper from sliding off of the paper output tray as it exits the printer.
Page 41
www.kodak.com/go/aiosupport 33
KODAK ESP 7 All-in-One Printer
• If the paper you use is longer than A4 size, including Legal and panoramic photo paper, make sure that the hinged end of the paper stop lays flat and is NOT pulled up. The longer paper should balance on the paper output tray without sliding off.
CAUTION:
This is crucially important when you are printing two or more sheets of long paper. Long paper that cannot extend straight to its full length when output from the printer can fold behind the object ahead of it. The curl can result in a job that dissatisfies you, and it can also causes a blockade preventing paper still being printed from exiting the printer properly.
Although a paper curl should not interrupt a job involving just one sheet of long paper, when a sheet’s clean exit from the printer is impeded because the sheet before it is curled by the paper stop, the current sheet also curls upon itself, generally behind rather than atop the sheet that came before. This process repeats until the trapped sheets jam the paper inside the printer.
Loading plain paper
NOTE: Review Things to keep in mind above.
1. Pull the bottom paper tray toward you.
NOTE: To load media that is more than A4 size, such as 4X12 inch panoramic photo
paper or Legal plain paper, you must first extend the lower paper tray to its full length. To do so:
a. Remove all paper from the tray, as needed. b. Press and hold the paper tray extension-release, located on the inside of the
front of the lower paper tray.
c. Pull the tray extension toward you gently until it stops moving easily. DO NOT
pull the extension far enough to disengage from the paper tray.
d. Let go of the tray release, and then load the paper in the tray.
2. As needed, squeeze and slide the paper edge guide on the tray to the left so that it does not block the paper from laying flat.
To return the lower paper tray to its default size, press and hold the extension-release and push the tray until the extension stops moving, and then let go.
Ti p :
Page 42
Handling Paper
34 www.kodak.com/go/aiosupport
3. Insert the media into the paper tray, print side down with its near edge against the paper stop.

Printing photos from non–PictBridge digital cameras, memory cards, and USB flash drives
CAUTION:
This printer does not support portable USB “flash” drives that:
• Require third party access software
•Are encrypted
• Contain multiple partitions
• Were formatted using any of the following file storage systems:
• New Technology File System (NTFS)
• Mac OS Standard (HFS) or Mac OS Extended (HFS Plus)
The printer can read data stored on USB flash drives formatted using only the File Allocation Table (FAT) system.
If a flash drive is plugged into the USB port on the front panel that the printer cannot read, the printer does not display photos, makes an audible sound (“beep”), and displays an error message on the LCD screen.
See the first Tip below for a work–around if your flash drive cannot be read by your printer.
Ti p : If you would like your printer to print photos stored on a non–FAT formatted
device, or stored as non–.jpeg files, you must first send the files to your computer to be read.
• Windows computers can read NTFS–formatted drives
• Macintosh computers can read HFS– and HFS Plus–formatted drives
• Third–party applications which run on either Windows or Macintosh
computers can read many different image file types
Use your computer to explore the files stored on the flash drive while it is still plugged in. Navigate to and open the file in the computer, or transfer the file(s) to the computer hard drive. Then, print the file from your computer.

Printing tagged images
The Digital Print Order Format (DPOF) is an industry-standard file that can be created by some digital cameras. Camera selected photos are photos you tag for printing with your digital camera. When you select photos with your camera, the camera creates a DPOF file that identifies which photos have been tagged for printing. Your printer can read the DPOF file from the memory card so you do not have to re-select the photos to print.
NOTE: Not all digital cameras support tagging or the creation of tagged image
(DPOF) files. Refer to your camera’s user guide to ensure it supports this function.
When you print tagged photos, the selected layout is applied unless your camera allows selection of sizes. If not specified by the DPOF information, the current default print photo size and other settings will be used.
Printing from a Bluetooth–enabled device
Bluetooth wireless technology allows wireless connectivity between compatible electronic devices. Your printer allows you to print .jpg images from a Bluetooth–enabled device, using an optional Kodak USB Bluetooth 2.0 USB adapter. You can purchase the Kodak Bluetooth adapter from Kodak at
www.kodak.com/go/accessories.
The Kodak Bluetooth adapter (shown below) supports connectivity between your printer and the following Bluetooth–enabled devices:
• Mobile camera phones
• Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs)
• Digital still cameras
•Computers
The Bluetooth adapter will not work when plugged directly into computers, Kodak printer-docks, other types of Kodak printers or devices made by other manufacturers. This adapter works exclusively with KODAK All-in-One Printers.
To enable Bluetooth wireless connectivity, plug the Kodak Bluetooth adapter into the USB port located on the front panel of your printer.
Page 51
www.kodak.com/go/aiosupport 43
KODAK ESP 7 All-in-One Printer
NOTE: Before you can transmit photos to your printer from a Bluetooth–enabled
device, you must first “pair” the printer and the device so that they can communicate. This “pairing” is performed from your device’s interface. Review the instructions for pairing that came with you Bluetooth–enabled device, as needed.
When the device is searching for other Bluetooth-enabled devices to pair with, if your printer is within range of the device (see Range below), your printer will appear in the list, with a name starting with
ESP. (Your device may
allow you to rename it, as appropriate.)
If your device prompts you for the printer’s personal identification number (PIN) to authenticate and initiate the connection, enter
1111.
Bluetooth devices do not use a Print command. You must use the device’s Send function to transmit an image stored on it to the printer. Only one file can be sent from the device at a time. Once received, your printer will print the image automatically using the default settings.
Range
When the device and the printer are connected, you can send photos from your Bluetooth device to the printer. Your printer supports connectivity to one Bluetooth device at a time.
For the highest transfer speed, Kodak recommends keeping a maximum distance of 10 meters (32.8 feet) between Bluetooth devices, as they may not work reliably beyond this range.
Printing multiple photos
When you select a print size that is smaller than the paper size, this printer automatically lays out multiple photos using the least amount of space, minimizing paper waste when separating the photos.
Printing panoramic photos
You can print a panoramic photo on 4 x 12 paper, or two panoramic photos on U.S. letter or A4 paper; some cropping will occur.
