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.

Handling and Loading Paper
Use the following guidelines when handling paper.
To avoid fingerprints, handle the paper by the edges as much as possible.
Avoid touching the glossy side of photo paper.
Keep the input and 4x6 paper trays closed to keep out dust and debris.

parked in the sun).
You can load many different types and sizes of paper in your Kodak EasyShare AiO, including letter paper,
photo paper, transparencies, and envelopes (see Paper Types in the Appendix). The EasyShare AiO
