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).

Handling Paper

Handling paper

Your printer accepts print stock of various types and sizes, including letter-and legal-size plain paper, photo paper, transparencies, T-shirt transfers, envelopes, cards, and labels. It automatically detects the size and whether or not photo paper is loaded into the paper tray. Kodak photo paper contains bar codes that allow your printer to detect the paper type that optimizes your photo prints.

The bottom paper tray accepts media from 6 to 9 inches wide, and from 7 to 14 inches long (see the Note in Loading plain paper, page 33); its capacity is 100 sheets of 20 lb. plain paper. The top tray capacity is 40 sheets of 4X6, 4X7, or 5X7 inch paper.

Follow the precautions below when handling paper:

• Hold the paper by the edges; avoid placing your fingerprints on it.

• Do not touch the glossy side of photo paper.

• Store paper flat, away from direct sunlight and heat (such as in a car parked in the sun).

Loading the paper trays

Things to keep in mind

• Before you start loading any type of media into the printer, lift the paper output

tray

• Pull the paper stop (at the edge of paper output tray) until it is fully extended.

• If the paper you are going to use is less than A4 size, lift the hinged end of the

paper stop toward you until it perpendicular to the paper stop. This prevents the printed paper from sliding off of the paper output tray as it exits the printer.

32 www.kodak.com/go/aiosupport

CAUTION:

Loading plain paper

To return the lower paper tray to its default size, press and hold the extension-release and push the tray until the extension stops moving, and then let go.

Ti p :

KODAK ESP 7 All-in-One Printer

• If the paper you use is longer than A4 size, including Legal and panoramic photo paper, make sure that the hinged end of the paper stop lays flat and is NOT pulled up. The longer paper should balance on the paper output tray without sliding off.

This is crucially important when you are printing two or more sheets of long paper. Long paper that cannot extend straight to its full length when output from the printer can fold behind the object ahead of it. The curl can result in a job that dissatisfies you, and it can also causes a blockade preventing paper still being printed from exiting the printer properly.

Although a paper curl should not interrupt a job involving just one sheet of long paper, when a sheet’s clean exit from the printer is impeded because the sheet before it is curled by the paper stop, the current sheet also curls upon itself, generally behind rather than atop the sheet that came before. This process repeats until the trapped sheets jam the paper inside the printer.

NOTE: Review Things to keep in mind above.

1. Pull the bottom paper tray toward you.

NOTE: To load media that is more than A4 size, such as 4X12 inch panoramic photo

paper or Legal plain paper, you must first extend the lower paper tray to its full length. To do so:

a. Remove all paper from the tray, as needed. b. Press and hold the paper tray extension-release, located on the inside of the

front of the lower paper tray.

c. Pull the tray extension toward you gently until it stops moving easily. DO NOT

pull the extension far enough to disengage from the paper tray.

d. Let go of the tray release, and then load the paper in the tray.

2. As needed, squeeze and slide the paper edge guide on the tray to the left so that it does not block the paper from laying flat.

www.kodak.com/go/aiosupport 33

Handling Paper

Loading photo paper

3. Insert the media into the paper tray, print side down with its near edge against the paper stop.

4. As needed, squeeze and slide the paper edge guide to align it to the left edge of the media.

5. Lower the paper output tray.

6. Gently push the tray forward until it is aligned with the edge of the paper output tray.

NOTE: Review Things to keep in mind, page 32.

1. Remove all other paper from the paper tray you plan to use.

2. Insert photo paper into the paper tray print-side down, with the short edge forward. Do not overload the tray.

3. Slide the paper forward until it stops.

4. Squeeze the paper edge guide and slide it to the right until it just touches the loaded paper.

5. Lower the paper output tray.

6. Gently push the tray forward until it is aligned with the edge of the paper output tray.

CAUTION:

KODAK ESP 7 All-in-One Printer

Do not load envelopes with cutouts or cellophane windows in this printer.

NOTE: Review Things to keep in mind, page 32.

1. Remove all other paper from the paper tray you plan to use.

2. Place one or more envelopes along the right edge of the paper tray, with the front side down and the envelope flaps pointing toward the left side of the tray.

3. Squeeze the paper edge guide and move it to the right until it just touches the loaded envelope(s).

4. Close the paper tray and lower the paper output tray.

Loading legal size paper

1. Remove all other paper from the bottom tray.

2. Press and hold the paper tray extension-release, located on the inside of the front of the bottom paper tray.

3. Pull the tray extension toward you gently until it stops moving easily. DO NOT pull the extension far enough to disengage from the paper tray.

4. Let go of the tray release and then load the paper in the tray.

5. Squeeze the paper edge guide and move it to the right until it just touches the loaded paper.

6. Squeeze the paper edge guide and move it towards the printer until it just touches the loaded paper.

Viewing and Printing Photos

You can print JPEG (.jpg) photo images directly from PictBridge cameras connected to the front panel of your printer. You can print virtually any file type from digital cameras, USB flash (“thumb”) drives, and memory cards connected to the front panel on your printer. You can also print files from a PC or MACINTOSH computer connected to your printer.

NOTE: For assistance on printing from a connected computer to your printer, refer

to the instructions from the software application (such as a word-processing or image-editing program) used to send the file to the printer or review your computer’s operating system instructions.

Although your printer is compatible with the Kodak 8-in-1 USB card reader (sold separately) as well as other Kodak USB card readers, it may not be compatible with other manufacturers’ card readers.

WARNING: Do not remove a storage device (memory card, USB drive, or digital camera) from the printer while it is being accessed, or you may damage the files on it. Safely remove or disconnect the device.

You can safely remove the storage device when the blue status light located above the memory card slots stops blinking.

Viewing photos

Insert one of the following devices into the appropriate opening:

NOTE: Always use the USB host port on the front of the printer. To avoid an error,

use only one slot or port at a time.

Device Type Printer Slot

Memory Card Memory Card Reader

Portable Storage Drive USB port

Digital Camera USB port

Kodak Bluetooth dongle USB port

NOTE: If Tagged Image Printing is enabled on this printer (see Configuring printer

settings, page 19), it detects a Digital Print Order Format (DPOF) file when

you insert a memory card. The printer LCD screen prompts you to verify that you want to print tagged images. See Printing tagged images, page 42.

Printing photos from a PictBridge camera

You can print photos directly from a PictBridge camera, which controls photo selection and printing.

1. Load the desired paper tray with photo paper, print side down.

2. Connect a PictBridge camera to the USB port located on the front panel of your printer.

3. Use your PictBridge camera to select and print the photos.

Printing photos from non–PictBridge digital cameras, memory cards, and USB flash drives

This printer does not support portable USB “flash” drives that:

• Require third party access software

•Are encrypted

• Contain multiple partitions

• Were formatted using any of the following file storage systems:

• New Technology File System (NTFS)

• Mac OS Standard (HFS) or Mac OS Extended (HFS Plus)

The printer can read data stored on USB flash drives formatted using only the File Allocation Table (FAT) system.

If a flash drive is plugged into the USB port on the front panel that the printer cannot read, the printer does not display photos, makes an audible sound (“beep”), and displays an error message on the LCD screen.

See the first Tip below for a work–around if your flash drive cannot be read by your printer.

Ti p : If you would like your printer to print photos stored on a non–FAT formatted

device, or stored as non–.jpeg files, you must first send the files to your computer to be read.

• Windows computers can read NTFS–formatted drives

• Macintosh computers can read HFS– and HFS Plus–formatted drives

• Third–party applications which run on either Windows or Macintosh

computers can read many different image file types

Use your computer to explore the files stored on the flash drive while it is still plugged in. Navigate to and open the file in the computer, or transfer the file(s) to the computer hard drive. Then, print the file from your computer.

Viewing and Printing Photos

Printing tagged images

The Digital Print Order Format (DPOF) is an industry-standard file that can be created by some digital cameras. Camera selected photos are photos you tag for printing with your digital camera. When you select photos with your camera, the camera creates a DPOF file that identifies which photos have been tagged for printing. Your printer can read the DPOF file from the memory card so you do not have to re-select the photos to print.

NOTE: Not all digital cameras support tagging or the creation of tagged image

(DPOF) files. Refer to your camera’s user guide to ensure it supports this function.

When you print tagged photos, the selected layout is applied unless your camera allows selection of sizes. If not specified by the DPOF information, the current default print photo size and other settings will be used.

Printing from a Bluetooth–enabled device

Bluetooth wireless technology allows wireless connectivity between compatible electronic devices. Your printer allows you to print .jpg images from a Bluetooth–enabled device, using an optional Kodak USB Bluetooth 2.0 USB adapter. You can purchase the Kodak Bluetooth adapter from Kodak at

www.kodak.com/go/accessories.

The Kodak Bluetooth adapter (shown below) supports connectivity between your printer and the following Bluetooth–enabled devices:

• Mobile camera phones

• Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs)

• Digital still cameras

•Computers

The Bluetooth adapter will not work when plugged directly into computers, Kodak printer-docks, other types of Kodak printers or devices made by other manufacturers. This adapter works exclusively with KODAK All-in-One Printers.

To enable Bluetooth wireless connectivity, plug the Kodak Bluetooth adapter into the USB port located on the front panel of your printer.

When the device and the printer are connected, you can send photos from your Bluetooth device to the printer. Your printer supports connectivity to one Bluetooth device at a time.

For the highest transfer speed, Kodak recommends keeping a maximum distance of 10 meters (32.8 feet) between Bluetooth devices, as they may not work reliably beyond this range.

Printing multiple photos

When you select a print size that is smaller than the paper size, this printer automatically lays out multiple photos using the least amount of space, minimizing paper waste when separating the photos.

Printing panoramic photos

You can print a panoramic photo on 4 x 12 paper, or two panoramic photos on U.S. letter or A4 paper; some cropping will occur.

• File type used to save the scan.

• The default setting for saved documents is .pdf (Portable Document Format).

With third–party .pdf viewer software installed, this type of file can be viewed on Web pages or computers. You may also save a scanned document as .rtf (Rich Text Format). This is a standard file type which can be opened and edited in standard word–processing software applications.

• The default setting for image files is .jpeg (Joint Photographic Experts Group)

format. This standard file type can be opened and edited in standard image editing software applications, and can be viewed on Web pages.

• File storage location for saved scans.

• Windows: Document scans are saved by default in the My Documents folder,

and images are saved in the My Pictures folder. They are stored by default in these locations in a folder titled with the current date.

• Rule for naming scan files.

• By default, scans are named “scan1”, “scan2”, etc.

• Default scan resolution and photo enhancement preferences.

50 www.kodak.com/go/aiosupport

• Color or black-and-white (Windows only).

CAUTION:

• Print quality for scanning documents.

White edges on borderless prints

Probable Cause 1

White edges can appear when there are slight misalignments between the printer and paper. Some software applications are able to “hide” these small misalignments so that the prints look borderless.

the paper size.

Probable Cause 2

If the image's proportions or dimensions are not compatible with the selected paper size, the print usually will not be borderless. For example, if a square image is printed on 4 x 6-inch paper, it will often print as a 4 x 4-inch image, with white edges on each side of the print job.

Probable Cause 4

A firewall, anti-virus, or anti-spyware application is preventing the printer from accessing your computer.

Corrective Action

Many firewall security programs have different levels of firewall security (Block All, High, Medium, Low), and some high levels of protection may prevent certain software applications and/or services from being permitted to operate through the network with enabled firewall security.

Via the firewall security program on your PC, manually allow inbound and outbound application permission through the firewall for the following services required for the wireless All-in-One operations:

Bonjour Service (C:\Program Files\Bonjour\mDNSResponder.exe)

Kodak AiO Network Discovery Service (C:\Program Files\Kodak\Printer\Center\EKDiscovery.exe)

Kodak AiO Device Service (C:\Program Files\Kodak\Printer\Center\KodakSvc.exe)

Kodak AiO Home Center (C:\Program Files\Kodak\Printer\Center\AiOHomeCenter.exe)

Go to www.kodak.com/go/inkjetnetworking for detailed instructions on adding these firewall permissions for the Kodak printer network services for 20 of the top rated firewall security programs on the market. If necessary, visit your firewall Manufacturer’s online help Web site.

Corrective Action

To obtain an IP address for the computer with the cable modem

Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) assigns either a static or dynamic IP address to the computer with the cable modem.

To assign IP addresses to the remaining computers and the All-in-One printer

Use AutoIP to assign IP addresses to the remaining computers and the printer. Do not assign a static IP address.

Wireless troubleshooting

No SSID

KODAK ESP 7 All-in-One Printer

Probable Cause 1

Your access point is not broadcasting its network name (SSID) because the

Broadcast SSID option is turned off.

Corrective Action

Access the Embedded Web Server and turn on the Broadcast SSID option.

Probable Cause 2

The access point (infrastructure) or computer (ad hoc) is out of range.

Corrective Action

In order to establish a good signal between the printer and access point (infrastructure) or computer (ad hoc), try doing the following things separately or in combination.

• If there is a long distance between your computer or access point and the printer, move them closer together.

• If there are metal objects (such as a metal bookcase or refrigerator) in the transmission path, clear the path between the printer and the computer or access point.

• If a cordless telephone, microwave, or other device that emits radio signals transmitting at 2.4 GHz is nearby, move it farther away to reduce radio interference.

NOTE: Devices like wireless speakers or wireless gaming accessories can emit radio

interference at 2.4 GHz. You can verify this on your wireless desktop or laptop computer by viewing sporadic signal bars in your Wi-Fi status utility.

www.kodak.com/go/aiosupport 85

Troubleshooting

Repositioning your computer away from these sources of signal interference can improve your computer network performance. For example:

Do place the AP/router in a central room.

•

Do not place wireless entertainment devices between the AP/router and

• wireless computer.

Do not place wireless entertainment devices between the AP/router and

• Wi-Fi All-in-One printer.

Probable Cause 3

The SSID is not visible because it is at the bottom of the list.

Corrective Action

Press to scroll to the bottom of the list. Infrastructure entries are listed first and ad hoc entries last.

Probable Cause 4

The access point firmware needs updating.

Corrective Action

Check for firmware updates for your access point on the manufacturer's Web site. Update the firmware on the access point.

Probable Cause 5

Your wireless adapter on your computer is not broadcasting the SSID (ad hoc).

Corrective Action

Verify that the wireless adapter is broadcasting the SSID. Print a network configuration page from the All-in-One printer, and verify that the SSID for the wireless adapter appears on the network configuration page. If the wireless adapter is not broadcasting the SSID, see the documentation that came with your computer.

Probable Cause 6

The firmware for the wireless adapter on your computer needs updating (ad hoc).

Corrective Action

Check for firmware updates for your wireless adapter on the manufacturer's Web site, and then update the firmware.

Probable Cause 7

An Ethernet cable is connected to the printer.

Corrective Action

Unplug the Ethernet cable.
