Effect of picture layout on number of copies

When printing tagged pictures (see page 12), the number of copies that are printed is determined by the setting on your camera or device. For example, if three pictures on your camera are each tagged for printing one copy, and the 4-up option on the printer dock is selected, three 2 x 3 in. (51 x 76 mm) pictures are printed on one sheet of paper.

For best results, use your camera’s 3:2 picture size setting to avoid cropping (see your camera user’s guide).

NOTE: When printing from a PictBridge compatible device (see page 13), picture size and number of copies

are determined by the device’s multi-up and copies settings. Change these settings on your device before printing. If the picture layout selected on your device does not match any of the sizes on the printer dock, then the closest picture layout on the printer dock is automatically selected.

■ Disconnect then reconnect the power.

IMPORTANT:

Upon reconnecting the power, the color cartridge may advance to the next picture slot on the ribbon, resulting in a supply mismatch.

Paper runs out before the color cartridge (or vice versa)

■ Supply mismatch can result from several different situations, including:

—Scrapping of paper as a result of jams or other errors. —Gradual advancement of the color-cartridge ribbon from removing

ribbon slack or clearing jams. —Advancement of the color-cartridge ribbon upon reconnecting power

to unlock the color cartridge. Supply mismatch is likely to occur as you continue to use your printer

dock. If you wish to keep your cartridge and paper supply synchronized, discard unused cartridge or paper when one or the other is fully depleted.

Appendix

Extending battery life

■ Limit the following activities that quickly deplete battery power:

– Reviewing your pictures on the camera screen

– Using the camera screen as a viewfinder

– Excessive use of the flash

■ Dirt on the battery contacts can affect battery life. Wipe the contacts with a clean,

dry cloth before loading batteries in the camera.

■ Battery performance is reduced at temperatures below 5° C (41° F). When using

your camera in cold weather, carry spare batteries and keep them warm. Do not discard cold batteries that do not work; when they return to room temperature, they may be usable.

■ If you are getting fewer than 20 pictures per charge with your Kodak Ni-MH

rechargeable digital camera battery, (and if none of the tips above seem to help), consider refreshing the battery (see page 9) or replacing it.
