Getting Started
It is important to find a good location for your AiO Printer. Place the printer on a clean flat surface, in a dry
location, and out of direct sunlight. Make sure the printer has proper ventilation.
Avoid areas where ventilation ducts, open doors, or high traffic might expose the EasyShare AiO and paper
to high levels of dust and debris. Airborne particles can affect picture quality.
Allow enough space on all sides of the EasyShare AiO to let you connect and disconnect cables, change
the ink cartridges, and remove and load paper.
Connect Power

adapters or cords could damage your printer or computer.
