CAUTION:

Handling and Storing the Paper and Ribbon

For the best quality prints, carefully handle and store the paper and ribbons.

• To avoid fingerprints, handle the ribbon by the spool ends. Do not touch the ribbon material. Do not touch the glossy side of the paper.

• Store the paper and ribbons away from direct sunlight.

Loading the Ribbon

Make sure you have a KODAK Photo Print Kit 8800/8810S or KODAK Photo Print Kit 8800/8810L available. These kits contain the correct ribbon for your printer (see “Printer Supplies” on

page A-2).

1. Slide the top cover latch release toward you.

2. Carefully open the top cover.

The thermal head becomes extremely hot during normal operation. Do not touch it. There are sharp cutter blades inside the printer. Follow instructions carefully to avoid touching any areas that may be hazardous.

IMPORTANT: The top cover does not open beyond a 90° angle.

3. If you are replacing the ribbon, remove the used ribbon.

NOTE: Images remain on the ribbon after printing. If you need to

maintain confidentiality, dispose of the used ribbon appropriately.

NOTE: If the paper flanges are improperly attached to the roll, the

paper roll will not fit into the printer.

Setting Up the Printer

7. Gently close the paper door.

NOTE: The ribbon must be loaded in the printer (see page 1-4)

before the paper automatically loads and advances.

The printer loads the paper. It then prints a blank sheet—the portion of the roll that may have fingerprints as a result of handling. The printing of this sheet does not decrease the print capacity of the roll.

When loading is complete, the operator panel displays the Ready message.

8. Empty and replace the trim tray.

NOTE: To keep your prints dust-free and to prevent paper jams,

empty the trim tray each time you change the paper.
