Calibrating the Printer

The KODAK Calibration Utility (calibration utility) allows the KODAK Photo
Printer to produce the best possible color response. Printer calibration
adjusts the response of the printer so that a specific data input value yields a
specific color density output. When a printer is properly calibrated, it
generates the correct density for each given data value.

Your KODAK Photo Printer is shipped with default factory calibration values.
You should be able to set up your printer and begin printing right away
without having to first calibrate the printer. However, if you are dissatisfied
with your prints, follow the steps in this chapter to calibrate your printer.

Installing the Calibration Software

1. Insert the CD that came with the printer into your CD-ROM drive.

The CD Browser launches automatically. If it does not, double-click
the Kodak680x.exe file in the CD root directory.

2. Select your language.

3. Click Software.

NOTE: Before installing the software, read the Calibration Software Readme

file for important information and updates about the software.

4. Click Calibration Software to start the installer.

5. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the calibration software.

Using the Calibration Utility

Before you use the calibration utility, make sure you are familiar with how
your KODAK Photo Printer operates.

Calibrate your printer whenever the color balance of prints does not look
right. You may also want to calibrate your printer after it has been serviced.

Easy Cal is a five-step process that quickly calibrates your printer using the
Visual Gray Balance method. Before using Easy Cal, start the calibration utility.

1. Select Start > Programs > KODAK Calibration Utility.

Operating the Printer

Making Prints

You make prints using photo printing software applications. For
application-specific printing information, see the user’s guide or online Help
for the software application.

Handling and Storing Prints

For best results:

• Make sure hands are clean and free of food, oil, and grease.

• Store prints in a cool, dry environment free of chemical contamination.

• Store prints at temperatures below 72° F (25° C) for extended periods.

• Store prints at a relative humidity between 30% and 50%.

• Avoid exposure to high-intensity light sources, particularly fluorescent
light and sunlight, which are rich in ultraviolet radiation.

• Avoid exposure to vinyl items (those made of polyvinyl chloride, PVC) or
any plastic that contains plasticizer. If you use transparent sleeves, make
sure that they are not PVC-based.

Maintaining the Printer

To ensure good printer performance and high-quality prints, keep the printer
and its environment clean and dust-free.

Cleaning the Cabinet

Clean the exterior cabinet and filter openings regularly to eliminate dust
build-up and to prevent dirt from entering the printer.

1. Wipe the exterior cabinet, print catcher, and trim tray with a damp,

lint-free cloth.

CAUTION:

Never use abrasives or harsh chemicals to clean any part of the
printer. Do not allow any foreign objects or liquids to fall or
spill inside the printer. Fire or electric shock could result. If
any foreign object enters the printer, turn off the printer power
immediately, remove the power cord, and contact your KODAK
representative for service.

2. Vacuum the filter openings to remove dust.

Performing Routine Maintenance

To maintain good print quality:

1. Clean the stripper plate, platen roller, and cleaning rollers monthly,

using the alcohol pads included in the KODAK Thermal Printer Cleaning
Kit.

2. Only clean the thermal head when necessary. Do not include the thermal

head in your monthly cleaning process.

NOTE: If there is paper or ribbon loaded in the printer, remove it before

performing maintenance procedures.

WARNING:

Alcohol is a flammable liquid. It can cause eye irritation
and dry skin. Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause
drying, cracking or irritation. Wash your hands with soap
and water following any maintenance procedures where
you use alcohol pads. For additional information, see the
Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).

Customer Service representative.

CAUTION:

Fingerprints can damage the thermal head, which looks like a
glass bar. Never touch it with your bare hands or fingers.

1. Make sure the power switch is turned off ( ).

2. Slide the cover release toward you, then open the upper cover carefully.

Thermal head

IMPORTANT: Cover does not open beyond a 90° angle.

CAUTION:

The thermal head becomes extremely hot during normal
operation. Wait approximately five minutes to begin cleaning
the head after you open the upper cover.

3. Remove an alcohol pad from its packaging. Move the pad along the

entire length of the thermal head, in one direction only. When you clean
the thermal head:

– Apply firm, even pressure.

– Make three passes along the thermal print head.

– Use a clean part of the pad for each pass.

4. Use another clean alcohol pad to wipe the edge of the stripper plate.

Cleaning the Platen
Roller

Maintaining the Printer

Cleaning the Cleaning
Rollers

1. Remove an alcohol pad from its packaging. Wipe the rubber section of

the platen roller with the pad.

2. Rotate the roller to clean the entire surface.

3. Allow the alcohol to dry completely (about five minutes) before you

resume printing.

It is essential to keep the cleaning rollers clean to prevent dirt from
transferring back onto the prints and keep the printer operating correctly.

IMPORTANT: There are two cleaning rollers in the printer. They are not

interchangeable. Clean them separately to prevent
reinstalling them in the wrong position.

1. Remove the rear cleaning roller by pulling up on the black knob.

In your photo printing software application:

• Use the Fit to Page or Clip options (may not

• Make sure the Portrait / Landscape setting
matches the orientation of the picture.

• For details, see the photo printing

NOTE: It is not necessary to adjust the image

resolution (dpi) to match the printer

• Purge the contents of the clipboard often.

• Close all applications except the photo

1. Press Paper Rewind until the Paper Empty message appears.

2. Press Paper Advance to re-load the paper into the printer.

The printer advances the paper, then cuts and discharges about 20 in.
(508 mm) of blank paper. This reduces the possibility of fingerprints
or other damage to the prints. It does not decrease the 750 4 x 6 in.
print capacity of the paper roll (see page A-2).

The operator panel displays the Ready message.

Method 2 If the Paper Jam message is still displayed on the operator panel:

1. Turn off the printer and open the upper cover.

2. Remove the ribbon from the printer.

CAUTION:

Prevent damage to the printer. Do not pull abruptly on the
paper.

3. Slowly and carefully pull the jammed paper out of the printer.

4. Cut off any damaged or printed areas of the paper.

NOTE: Do not damage or mark any of the rollers.

9. Reload the paper. See “Loading the Paper” on page 1-8.

NOTE: If the Paper Jam message is still displayed on the operator panel, and

you are at the end of a paper roll, it is possible that a segment of
paper is too short to automatically exit the printer. Remove the front
cleaning roller (see “Cleaning the Cleaning Rollers” on page 5-3)
and remove the segment of paper.

Recovering from a Power Interruption

CAUTION:

If the printer loses power while printing, the printer stops with
the thermal head positioned against the platen roller. The
platen roller could be deformed and damaged if the thermal
head is left in this position.

If a power outage occurs:

1. Open the upper cover immediately to release the pressure on the platen

roller. Leave the cover open until power is restored.

2. When power is restored, restart the printer by following the procedure

for “Clearing a Paper Jam” on page 6-3.

3. Submit your print job again.
