Kodak ESP 9 All-in-One printer
Using the control panel
Adjusting the control panel position
The position of the control panel can be adjusted from its default position (flush
against the front of the printer) to lifted upward at an angle.
To adjust the control panel position:
1. On the rear side of the control panel, locate the release tab.
2. Press the front of the control panel and the release tab toward each other with
your thumb and fingers; maintain this position and pull the control panel toward
you gently.
3. When you are satisfied with the position of the control panel, let go.
4. To return the control panel to its default position, squeeze the release tab and
gently push the control panel away from you. Let go when the panel is seated
against the front panel of the printer.
About the “touch-sense” buttons on the control panel
The ESP 9 All–in–One printer features flat-panel buttons that do not depress when
pushed, as in a traditional keyboard or calculator keypad. Each button on the control
panel responds to the pressure of your finger and performs a specific action based
on the task you are working on.
If this type of interface is unfamiliar to you, it may take a bit of practice getting used
to it. You should discover that each button is quite sensitive to touch, and you may
find that pressing a key too hard, or accidentally pressing one button several times in
a row, may cause errors.
With practice, you will learn the right amount of pressure and the best rate for
pressing the keys for using the buttons quickly and easily.
Make sure that the Printer Sounds option (available in the Printer
Settings menu) is set to ON when learning to use the printer. With
sound enabled, the printer gives you audible feedback when you press
any button on the control panel.

Kodak ESP 9 All-in-One printer
Use the number keypad to:
• Dial a fax phone number
• Enter the Quick Dial number for an entry in the Fax Phonebook
• Enter the fax telephone number for an entry in the Fax Phonebook
• Enter a quantity for making copies of a document or photo
As on a telephone dial pad, which the number keypad resembles, each key on the
ESP 9 number keypad (except for the 1 key and the zero key) is associated with both
a numerical value and with either three or four alphabetic characters, with
typographic symbols, or with symbols and a space (used to separate two
alphanumeric characters).
Using the on-screen keyboard
The on-screen keyboard displays in the ESP 9 All-in-One printer LCD for the
following tasks performed on the control panel:
• Entering authentication information, such as a security string, for connecting the
printer to a wired (Ethernet) or wireless (Wi-Fi) network, in the Network
Settings menu
• Entering or editing your
Fax Sender information in the Fax Settings menu
• Entering or editing the fax recipient
Name in the Fax Phonebook
To maneuver around the on-screen keyboard, use the 4–way navigation buttons,
described in Using the 4-way navigation buttons, page 10, and the OK button,
described in Using the OK button, page 11.
Many ESP 9 users find it helpful setting the Printer Sounds option
(available in the Printer Settings menu) to ON when using the number
keypad. Because most keys can express more than one alphanumeric
character, depending on how many times it is pressed, the audible
feedback helps users to press each key at the proper speed. This
prevents “jumping” past the desired value, which can happen if a key is
pressed too quickly.

Setting Up Your Printer
Use this chapter to set up and start using your Kodak 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.

Setting up the fax
Your Kodak ESP 9 All-in-One printer allows you to send and receive faxes, set up
quick dials, and other fax options from the control panel.
For more information about sending and receiving faxes using this All-in-One
printer, see Chapter 8 , Faxing.
NOTE: If your home or office setup is not described in this section, set up the
All-in-One printer fax connection as you would a regular phone. See
Connecting the printer to a standard telephone line, page 38.
Telephone service delivery systems and All–in–One fax features
Before setting up your ESP 9 All–in–One printer for faxing, determine which type of
telephone service you use
WARNING: Use only the phone cord supplied in the All-in-One printer box
to connect your telephone wall jack and the port labeled Line-In on the back
of the printer. Using any other phone cord may prevent you from sending and
receiving faxes.
If your telephone service is: Review this section first:

Kodak ESP 9 All-in-One printer
CAUTION:
You should also read the following sections before connecting your ESP 9 to
your telephone system.
• Using cordless telephones with the ESP 9 All–in–One fax, page 36
• Using voice–messaging services with the ESP 9 All–in–One fax, page 36
• Using an answering machine with the ESP 9 All–in–One fax, page 37
Multipurpose (broadband) digital telephone systems
If you use one of the following types of telephone services, you use a multipurpose,
or “broadband” digital system:
• Internet telephone (also known as Voice–Over–Internet–Protocol or VOIP)
• Cable telephone
These systems transmit telephone signals across the same cables that transmit
Internet or cable television signals.They require the use of computer or cable
modems to route telephone traffic to your telephone or fax machine.
By connecting the telephone cable that came with your printer to the computer or
cable modem and also to the ESP 9, your printer can successfully send and receive
faxes over this type of telephone system.
Standard telephone systems
Sometimes called “Plain Old Telephone Systems” (POTS), this type of telephone
service relies on a network of dedicated telephone wiring that cannot be used to
transmit any other type of signal.
Your printer needs only the standard telephone cable that came with your printer,
connected to both the printer and to the wall telephone jack, in order to send and
receive faxes through the standard wall telephone jack.
Digital subscriber line (DSL) telephone systems
A DSL telephone system is a dedicated telephone service that, like multipurpose
digital systems, transmits packets of digital data over cables. Unlike multipurpose
systems, DSL networks use the wires of a local telephone network to transmit its
signals.
To transmit fax signals properly to your printer, you must connect the telephone
cable that came with the printer to a cable equipped with a DSL filter, and then
connect the filtered cable to the printer and to the wall jack.

If your telephone service is: Review this section first:
Page 44
Setting Up Your Printer
36 www.kodak.com/go/aiosupport
CAUTION:
Your telephones will not work without the installation of the DSL filter.
Using cordless telephones with the ESP 9 All–in–One fax
Cordless telephones, which connect to a digital, standard, or DSL telephone system,
can be used with your All-in-One printer. To do so, you must connect the base
station of your telephone (i.e., the cradle which connects your phone to the wall
telephone jack or digital modem) to the telephone cable that came with your printer.
Using voice–messaging services with the ESP 9 All–in–One fax
Voice messaging (also called voice mail) services are operated by your telephone
company. Voice messaging systems use a centralized, computerized system for
recording messages rather than equipment at your telephone. They do not record
fax transmissions.
Your printer relies on recognizing fax signals via the cable connecting it to the
telephone (or wall jack), and therefore cannot retrieve faxes routed to the voice
messaging service.
To automatically retrieve faxes with your printer if you subscribe to voice messaging
through your telephone company, you must have one of the following options in
place:
• A dedicated phone line that does not have voice mail used exclusively for fax
transmissions.
• If the telephone line connected to your printer accepts calls for two or more
phone numbers, the number used for fax calls must use a distinctive ring not
used by any other number sharing this line. See Specifying a distinctive ring for
fax auto–answer, page 41.
If neither of these configurations is available to you, you cannot accept faxes on your
printer in the Fax Auto–Answer mode. You can accept them manually, though. See
Manually receiving fax, page 41.
Page 45
www.kodak.com/go/aiosupport 37
Kodak ESP 9 All-in-One printer
Using an answering machine with the ESP 9 All–in–One fax
If you use an answering machine to retrieve and record messages from telephone
callers when you are not available to pick up the handset, you can set up your
telephone to work with both the answering machine and the printer.
However, because answering machines cannot recognize fax calls or record fax
signals for conversion later to a fax printout, care must be taken if you plan to accept
fax calls automatically.
Before using your printer to accept faxes automatically when you are also using an
answering machine, make sure the answering machine is connected correctly to the
printer (see the illustrations that follow). Make sure the answering machine is set to
answer calls before the printer. See Specifying rings to answer, page 40.
Connecting the phone and fax
Identify the type of fax connection appropriate for you from the information below,
and follow the instructions to configure your printer for sending and receiving faxes.
Connecting the printer to a digital telephone service line
If the telephone line you intend to use for faxing through the All-in-One printer is
configured to either an Internet phone service or to a cable phone service, connect
your printer to the phone as described below:
1. Disconnect the phone cord from the wall jack that connects your modem to the
telephone wall jack and plug it into the port labeled
LINE-In on your printer.
2. If you use an answering machine:
• Connect your answering machine to the
EXT-Out port on the back of your
All-in-One printer.
CAUTION:
The answering machine should be set to a fewer number of rings than the
Rings to Answer setting. This will ensure that the answering machine picks up
first.
See Specifying rings to answer, page 40.

NOTE: Check with your cable television provider to make sure you can send and
receive faxes over your digital telephone service.
Connecting the printer to a standard telephone line
If you have a dedicated phone line that does not receive any voice calls, connect your
printer to the
Line-In on the printer as described below.
1. Connect one end of the phone cord supplied with your printer to your telephone
wall jack and the other end to the port labeled
Line-In.
2. When the phone rings your printer is set to answer automatically after the
number of rings set in the
Rings to Answer setting. See Specifying rings to
answer, page 40.
3. If you use an answering machine, connect your answering machine plug into the
port labeled
EXT-Out on your printer. Set the number the of rings on your
answering machine to a lower number of rings than the
Rings to Answer settings
on your All-in-One printer. If you are using a dedicated telephone line to send or
Page 47
www.kodak.com/go/aiosupport 39
Kodak ESP 9 All-in-One printer
receive faxes, use the LINE-In port on your printer. Do not connect the answering
machine to the
EXT-Out port on your printer.
If you have a separate fax line on that does not receive any voice calls, connect
your printer to the phone line as described in Connecting the printer to a digital
subscriber (DSL) telephone line below.
Connecting the printer to a digital subscriber (DSL) telephone line
If you use a digital subscriber line (DSL), you must connect a DSL filter between the
telephone wall jack and your Kodak All–in–One printer. Without the DSL filter for
your digital subscriber line, you not be able to send and receive faxes.
1. Obtain a DSL filter from your DSL provider.
2. Connect the one end of the phone cord supplied with your Kodak ESP 9
All–in–One printer to the open port on the DSL filter, and the other to the printer
port labeled
Line-In.When the phone rings your printer is set to answer
automatically after the number of rings set in the
Rings to Answer setting. See
Specifying rings to answer, page 40.
3. If you use an answering machine, connect your answering machine to the port
labeled
EXT-Out on your printer. This provides a direct connection between the
printer and your answering machine.
CAUTION:
When the phone rings, your printer will answer after the number of rings set
in the Rings to Answer setting. The incoming fax will be received when the
printer detects there is an incoming fax.
See Specifying rings to answer, page 40.
4. Connect the DSL filter cord to the telephone wall jack.
Page 48
Setting Up Your Printer

Specifying rings to answer
You can specify how many rings should occur before the All–in–One printer
automatically answers an incoming call. This setting applies only if the fax
auto–answer feature is set to
On.
The
rings–to–answer setting is critically important for you if an answering machine
shares the same phone line as your All-in-One printer, because the answering
machine must answer the phone first. If this parameter is not set correctly, the
answering machine cannot record any incoming calls.
NOTE: If you use a voice messaging service instead of an answering machine, this
option is not effective. See Setting fax auto–answer below and Specifying a
distinctive ring for fax auto–answer, page 41.
The All–in–One printer monitors every call into the phone line, including calls picked
up by the answering machine. If it detects incoming fax tones, it will receive the fax.
It ignores any call that does not transmit the fax tones and allows the answering
machine to record it.
Set the number of rings-to-answer for the printer to exceed the number rings set for
the answering machine.
NOTE: This ESP 9 All–in–One printer allows you to specify the
rings–to–answer
from 1–6 rings. Make sure your answering machine is set to answer calls in
fewer rings than your choice for rings–to–answer for your printer. For more
information, see Fax Settings options, page 42.
Setting fax auto–answer
When set to On, the All–in–One printer accepts incoming fax transmissions
automatically, based on the number set in
rings–to–answer (see Specifying rings to
answer above).
If your fax phone line is configured to work through a computer modem, disable fax
auto-answer.
Page 49
www.kodak.com/go/aiosupport 41
Kodak ESP 9 All-in-One printer
NOTE: Some phone system features may not be available with pulse dialing, which
is slower than tone dialing. Contact your telephone company if you are
unsure as to which setting to use.
Manually receiving fax
If fax auto–answer is set to Off, there are two ways to accept an incoming fax and
print it with the All–in–Oneprinter. You can:
•Press the
Start button on the All–in–One printer control panel when you pick up
the telephone handset and hear fax tones.
• Using any phone that uses the same telephone line used by the All–in–One
printer for fax, dial the Remote Access Code
234.
Specifying a distinctive ring for fax auto–answer
If you have one phone line shared by two or more phone numbers, your telephone
service provider may be able to provide distinctive ring patterns for each phone
number. For example, if you have designated one number as the number for
receiving and sending faxes, you may have a ring pattern different than the pattern
used for the phone number used for your personal voice calls or your business voice
calls.If you have voice mail on your shared phone line that you use for sending or
receiving faxes and do not have access to distinctive ring through your telephone
service, you should disable fax auto-answer.
By using the
distinctive ring feature on the ESP 9 All-in-One printer, when the printer
detects the ring pattern specified for incoming faxes, it will automatically answer the
call and receive the fax.
NOTE: If you use one phone number and one phone line exclusively for faxes, set
distinctive ring to Any. For more information about the Fax Settings menu,
see Fax Settings options, page 42.
If two or more phone numbers are shared, set the distinctive ring feature to answer
one of the lines and set
fax auto–answer to On. See Specifying rings to answer,
page 40 to review how to use fax auto–answer with an answering machine.
Also see the note discussing voice messaging services on page 41 if you have this
type of fax setup and subscribe to voice messaging through your telephone
company.
Ti p : Is your All–in–One printer located in a separate room from a telephone with
the same number used by the ESP 9 All-in-One printer? If so, remember to dial
234 when you pick up the phone and hear incoming fax tones.

Handling Paper
Your Kodak All-in-One 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
barcodes that allow your All-in-One 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 45); its capacity is 100 sheets
of 20 lb. plain paper. The top tray capacity is 40 sheets of 4X6, 4X7, or 5X7 inch
paper.
The automatic document feeder (ADF) on the ESP 9 All-in-One printer accepts up
to 35 sheets of plain 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.
WARNING: The printer cannot sense photo paper loaded in the automatic
document feeder (ADF) and will not feed photo paper into the printer for
either copy (document) or fax operations.
Page 53
www.kodak.com/go/aiosupport 45
Kodak ESP 9 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, page 44.
CAUTION:
The automatic document feeder (ADF) on the ESP 9 only accepts plain paper.
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 bottom 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.
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.

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 USB flash drives formatted using only the File

Kodak ESP 9 All-in-One printer
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 Kodak All-in-One 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 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
All–in–One 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.
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
and 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.)
Page 64
Viewing and Printing Photos
56 www.kodak.com/go/aiosupport
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 All–in–One 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.
Zooming and cropping photos
Your printer enables you to zoom in or out on a specific area of a photo. When you
print the photo, the photo is cropped so only the area bounded by the crop
boundaries is printed.
CAUTION:
You cannot use the zoom or crop functions of this printer on photos located on
a PictBridge camera connected to the printer. All changes made to photos
stored on PictBridge camera are conducted on the camera.
NOTE: The changes you make to the photo apply only to viewing and printing the
photo, and will not be saved on the memory card or storage device.

computer. If you need to buy one, they are available online at
www.kodak.com/go/aio, or from your local electronics and printer retailer.
• Make sure that you have the most up-to-date All-in-One printer software and
Help files from the Internet. Visit www.kodak.com/go/support to download the
latest files.
• View the troubleshooting information found in Kodak Home Center software on
your computer. After opening Home Center, click the question mark (
?) button:
•
Macintosh: The button is located at the lower-left of the Home Center
window.
•
Windows: The button is located at the upper-right of the Home Center
window.

be self-powered.
2. Restart the computer.
If none of the above corrects the problem, contact Kodak support.
Device not recognized
Probable Cause
Any of the following can prevent your Kodak All-in-One printer from reading a
connected device (digital camera, USB drive, or memory card).
• The camera is turned OFF.
• The USB connector on a USB drive is not fully inserted into the USB port.
• The memory card is not completely inserted, or is not inserted into the correct
card slot.

Corrective Action
• Make sure your printer is plugged in and turned on.
• Make sure you are using the proper USB cable (USB 2.0).
• If you are using a USB hub to connect the USB cable to the computer, make sure
that it has power. Use a self-powered (connected to an electrical outlet) USB
hub instead of one that uses the computer’s internal power.
• Check the connection from your computer to your printer. Ensure that the
square end of the USB cable is plugged in to the USB port on the back of your
printer, and the flat end into a USB port on your computer.
• You may need to disconnect other printers or scanners from your computer.
• After checking connections, restart your computer.
• Make sure your computer meets the minimum system requirements, otherwise
upgrade your system if necessary.
For more information on connecting your printer to your computer, see the “Start
Here” booklet that came with your printer.
