Setting Up Your Printer
Use this chapter to set up and start using your 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.
Configuring printer settings
Printer settings can be adjusted in two ways: via the control panel or the Home
Center Software that comes with your printer (see Home Center Help for more
details).

presumes you have a working understanding on how your network is configured.
Additional resources for related topics, information, and network troubleshooting
are available at www.kodak.com/go/inkjetnetworking.
If you are unsure of how your network is configured, please contact your network
administrator or your internet service provider for assistance.
Configuring an Ethernet network connection
You will need the following items to connect the printer to a wired (Ethernet)
network:
