3 Handling and Loading 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. Store paper flat. Keep paper away from direct sunlight, and out of high-temperature environments (such as a vehicle
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 automatically detects the size and type of paper you load in the input tray, and then adjusts to generate the highest quality output for that paper.

The Scanner Glass

The scanner glass is where you place originals for copying or scanning.
1 Lift the lid and place your original face down on the right front corner of the scanner glass.

7 Maintenance

Maintenance

The Kodak EasyShare All-in-One requires little maintenance. However, you should clean the glass and lid backing to remove dust and fingerprints.
Fingerprints and other debris on the glass or lid backing could slow down performance and affect the accuracy of scanning.
This section covers the Settings menu, printhead installation, printhead calibration, checking ink levels, and changing ink cartridges.

General Care

IMPORTANT: Always disconnect the power before cleaning. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners or organic
solvents on the EasyShare AiO or any of its parts.
WARNING
Do not leave items on the scanner glass. The heat of the scanning lamp may cause them to stick.
To clean, wipe the outside of the EasyShare AiO and LCD with a clean, dry cloth.
Keep the surrounding area vacuumed and litter-free.
Protect the EasyShare AiO from tobacco smoke, dust, sand, and liquid spills.
Avoid placing objects on the EasyShare AiO.
Keep the EasyShare AiO, accessories, and supplies away from direct sunlight and out of high-
temperature environments.
Do not allow chemicals, such as suntan lotion, to come into contact with the painted surface of the
EasyShare AiO.
If the EasyShare AiO has been subjected to inclement weather or you suspect water has gotten inside
the EasyShare AiO, turn it off and let it dry out. If this does not resolve the problem, contact customer support (see Telephone Customer Support).
Service agreements are available in some countries. Contact a dealer of Kodak products for more
information.
The EasyShare AiO and the AC power adapter contain a small amount of lead in the circuit board.
Disposal of this material may be regulated due to environmental considerations.
For more disposal or recycling information, contact your local authorities. In the US, visit the Electronics
Industry Alliance Web site at
www.eiae.org.

Clean the Scanner Glass

To ensure that your copies and scans remain clear, keep the scanner glass and lid backing clean and dust the exterior.
1 Turn off the EasyShare AiO and raise the lid. 2 Clean the glass with a soft cloth or sponge slightly moistened with a nonabrasive glass cleaner.
User’s Guide 81
Chapter 7
WARNING
Do not use abrasives, acetone, benzene, or carbon tetrachloride on the glass, since they can damage it. Do not place or spray liquid directly on the glass. The liquid might seep under the glass and damage the device.
3 Dry the glass with a lint fee cloth.

Clean the Scanner Lid

Minor debris can accumulate on the document backing located underneath the scanner lid of the Kodak EasyShare AiO.
1 Turn off the EasyShare AiO and raise the lid. 2 Clean the lid underside with a soft cloth or sponge slightly moistened with a mild soap and warm water. 3 Wipe the underside gently to loosen debris. Do not scrub. 4 Dry the underside with a chamois or soft cloth.
WARNING
Do not use paper-based wipes, as these might scratch the underside.
5 If further cleaning is needed, repeat the previous steps using isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol, and wipe the
underside thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove any residual alcohol.

82 Kodak EasyShare 5100 AiO
Maintenance

Check Ink Levels

You can easily check the ink levels to determine how soon you might need to replace an ink cartridge. The Control Panel has two ink level indicators, one for the black ink cartridge and one for the color ink cartridge. These indicators blink slow when ink levels are low, and fast when the ink cartridge should be replaced.

Replace Ink Cartridges

When the ink level in an ink cartridge is low, its Ink Level indicator on the Control Panel blinks slow. When an ink cartridge should be replaced, its Ink Level indicator blinks fast.
NOTE: For the best quality prints, store ink cartridges in a location where the temperature does not
exceed 85° F (30° C).
WARNING
Use genuine Kodak ink cartridges to ensure best results and avoid printhead damage not covered under warranty. Third party ink cartridges may not contain the necessary Smart Chip information to notify you before the ink cartridge is empty.
