CAUTION:

Support for connecting digital memory devices to the printer

Your All-in-One printer allows you to connect both digital camera memory cards and USB-connected devices for previewing and printing. You can also transfer photos and document files to your connected computer.
Connect only one external memory device to your printer at a time. If both memory card slots, or any memory card slot and the host USB port, have a device connected to them simultaneously, the printer cannot access the photos or documents contained on any of them. If your printer cannot recognize a device you have connected to it, make sure that only one device is connected at a time.

Memory card slots

Although this All-in-One printer has two card slots, insert and use only one memory card at a time.
A blue light, located above the memory card slots, blinks while the card is being accessed and stays lit while the card remains in the slot and the printer is on.

The Kodak ESP 9 All-in-One printer supports the following memory cards, used in most digital cameras:
XD xD-Picture Card
MS Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro and Magic Gate

Kodak ESP 9 All-in-One printer

About the “touch-sense” buttons on the control panel

The ESP 9 All–in–One printer features flat-panel buttons that do not depress when pushed, as in a traditional keyboard or calculator keypad. Each button on the control panel responds to the pressure of your finger and performs a specific action based on the task you are working on.
If this type of interface is unfamiliar to you, it may take a bit of practice getting used to it. You should discover that each button is quite sensitive to touch, and you may find that pressing a key too hard, or accidentally pressing one button several times in a row, may cause errors.
With practice, you will learn the right amount of pressure and the best rate for pressing the keys for using the buttons quickly and easily.
www.kodak.com/go/aiosupport 9
Printer Overview
When you have selected a photo or document shown on the LCD screen to be printed, pressing or increases or decreases the output quantity. If you have selected more than one item for printing, you can specify a different quantity for each one. The LCD screen displays the number of copies of each selected item to be printed. Using this feature does not change the number of files stored on your camera or portable USB drive, however.
Ti p :

Kodak ESP 9 All-in-One printer
Many ESP 9 users find it helpful setting the Printer Sounds option (available in the Printer Settings menu) to ON when using the number keypad. Because most keys can express more than one alphanumeric character, depending on how many times it is pressed, the audible feedback helps users to press each key at the proper speed. This prevents “jumping” past the desired value, which can happen if a key is pressed too quickly.
Ti p :
Use the number keypad to:
• Dial a fax phone number
• Enter the Quick Dial number for an entry in the Fax Phonebook
• Enter the fax telephone number for an entry in the Fax Phonebook
• Enter a quantity for making copies of a document or photo
As on a telephone dial pad, which the number keypad resembles, each key on the ESP 9 number keypad (except for the 1 key and the zero key) is associated with both a numerical value and with either three or four alphabetic characters, with typographic symbols, or with symbols and a space (used to separate two alphanumeric characters).

Using the on-screen keyboard

The on-screen keyboard displays in the ESP 9 All-in-One printer LCD for the following tasks performed on the control panel:
• Entering authentication information, such as a security string, for connecting the printer to a wired (Ethernet) or wireless (Wi-Fi) network, in the Network Settings menu
• Entering or editing your
• Entering or editing the fax recipient
To maneuver around the on-screen keyboard, use the 4–way navigation buttons, described in Using the 4-way navigation buttons, page 10, and the OK button, described in Using the OK button, page 11.

Setting Up Your Printer

Use this chapter to set up and start using your Kodak 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).

Setting up the fax

Your Kodak ESP 9 All-in-One printer allows you to send and receive faxes, set up quick dials, and other fax options from the control panel.
For more information about sending and receiving faxes using this All-in-One printer, see Chapter 8 , Faxing.
NOTE: If your home or office setup is not described in this section, set up the
All-in-One printer fax connection as you would a regular phone. See
Connecting the printer to a standard telephone line, page 38.
WARNING: Use only the phone cord supplied in the All-in-One printer box
to connect your telephone wall jack and the port labeled Line-In on the back of the printer. Using any other phone cord may prevent you from sending and receiving faxes.

Telephone service delivery systems and All–in–One fax features

Before setting up your ESP 9 All–in–One printer for faxing, determine which type of telephone service you use
If your telephone service is: Review this section first:
Internet Phone (VOIP) telephone service
Multipurpose (broadband) digital telephone systems, page 35

34 www.kodak.com/go/aiosupport
Multipurpose (broadband) digital telephone systems, page 35
Kodak ESP 9 All-in-One printer
CAUTION:
If your telephone service is: Review this section first:
Standard telephone service Standard telephone systems, page 35
Digital subscriber line (DSL) telephone service
You should also read the following sections before connecting your ESP 9 to your telephone system.
Using cordless telephones with the ESP 9 All–in–One fax, page 36
Using voice–messaging services with the ESP 9 All–in–One fax, page 36
Using an answering machine with the ESP 9 All–in–One fax, page 37
Multipurpose (broadband) digital telephone systems
If you use one of the following types of telephone services, you use a multipurpose, or “broadband” digital system:
• Internet telephone (also known as Voice–Over–Internet–Protocol or VOIP)
• Cable telephone
These systems transmit telephone signals across the same cables that transmit Internet or cable television signals.They require the use of computer or cable modems to route telephone traffic to your telephone or fax machine.
By connecting the telephone cable that came with your printer to the computer or cable modem and also to the ESP 9, your printer can successfully send and receive faxes over this type of telephone system.
Digital subscriber line (DSL) telephone systems, page 35
Standard telephone systems
Sometimes called “Plain Old Telephone Systems” (POTS), this type of telephone service relies on a network of dedicated telephone wiring that cannot be used to transmit any other type of signal.
Your printer needs only the standard telephone cable that came with your printer, connected to both the printer and to the wall telephone jack, in order to send and receive faxes through the standard wall telephone jack.
Digital subscriber line (DSL) telephone systems
A DSL telephone system is a dedicated telephone service that, like multipurpose digital systems, transmits packets of digital data over cables. Unlike multipurpose systems, DSL networks use the wires of a local telephone network to transmit its signals.
To transmit fax signals properly to your printer, you must connect the telephone cable that came with the printer to a cable equipped with a DSL filter, and then connect the filtered cable to the printer and to the wall jack.
www.kodak.com/go/aiosupport 35
Setting Up Your Printer
CAUTION:
Your telephones will not work without the installation of the DSL filter.

Using cordless telephones with the ESP 9 All–in–One fax

Cordless telephones, which connect to a digital, standard, or DSL telephone system, can be used with your All-in-One printer. To do so, you must connect the base station of your telephone (i.e., the cradle which connects your phone to the wall telephone jack or digital modem) to the telephone cable that came with your printer.

Using voice–messaging services with the ESP 9 All–in–One fax

Voice messaging (also called voice mail) services are operated by your telephone company. Voice messaging systems use a centralized, computerized system for recording messages rather than equipment at your telephone. They do not record fax transmissions.
Your printer relies on recognizing fax signals via the cable connecting it to the telephone (or wall jack), and therefore cannot retrieve faxes routed to the voice messaging service.
To automatically retrieve faxes with your printer if you subscribe to voice messaging through your telephone company, you must have one of the following options in place:
• A dedicated phone line that does not have voice mail used exclusively for fax transmissions.
• If the telephone line connected to your printer accepts calls for two or more phone numbers, the number used for fax calls must use a distinctive ring not used by any other number sharing this line. See Specifying a distinctive ring for
fax auto–answer, page 41.
If neither of these configurations is available to you, you cannot accept faxes on your printer in the Fax Auto–Answer mode. You can accept them manually, though. See
Manually receiving fax, page 41.
36 www.kodak.com/go/aiosupport

Using an answering machine with the ESP 9 All–in–One fax

CAUTION:
If you use an answering machine to retrieve and record messages from telephone callers when you are not available to pick up the handset, you can set up your telephone to work with both the answering machine and the printer.
However, because answering machines cannot recognize fax calls or record fax signals for conversion later to a fax printout, care must be taken if you plan to accept fax calls automatically.
Before using your printer to accept faxes automatically when you are also using an answering machine, make sure the answering machine is connected correctly to the printer (see the illustrations that follow). Make sure the answering machine is set to answer calls before the printer. See Specifying rings to answer, page 40.

Connecting the phone and fax

Handling Paper

Your Kodak All-in-One 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 barcodes that allow your All-in-One 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 45); its capacity is 100 sheets of 20 lb. plain paper. The top tray capacity is 40 sheets of 4X6, 4X7, or 5X7 inch paper.
The automatic document feeder (ADF) on the ESP 9 All-in-One printer accepts up to 35 sheets of plain paper.
WARNING: The printer cannot sense photo paper loaded in the automatic document feeder (ADF) and will not feed photo paper into the printer for either copy (document) or fax operations.

Handling 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.
44 www.kodak.com/go/aiosupport
CAUTION:

Loading plain paper

CAUTION:
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 9 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, page 44.
The automatic document feeder (ADF) on the ESP 9 only accepts plain paper.
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 bottom 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.

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 Kodak All-in-One 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 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.
Kodak ESP 9 All-in-One printer
The Kodak Bluetooth adapter (shown below) supports connectivity between your All–in–One 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.
NOTE: Before you can transmit photos to your printer from a Bluetooth–enabled
device, you must first “pair” the printer and the device so that they can communicate. This “pairing” is performed from your device’s interface. Review the instructions for pairing that came with you Bluetooth–enabled device, as needed.
When the device is searching for other Bluetooth enabled devices to pair with and if your printer is within range of the device (see Range below), your printer will appear in the list, with a name starting with allow you to rename it, as appropriate.)
ESP. (Your device may
www.kodak.com/go/aiosupport 55
Viewing and Printing Photos
CAUTION:
Bluetooth devices do not use a Print command. You must use the device’s Send function to transmit an image stored on it to the All–in–One printer. Only one file can be sent from the device at a time. Once received, your printer will print the image automatically using the default settings.
Range
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.
If your device prompts you for the printer’s personal identification number (PIN) to authenticate and initiate the connection, enter
1111.

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.

Zooming and cropping photos

Your printer enables you to zoom in or out on a specific area of a photo. When you print the photo, the photo is cropped so only the area bounded by the crop boundaries is printed.
You cannot use the zoom or crop functions of this printer on photos located on a PictBridge camera connected to the printer. All changes made to photos stored on PictBridge camera are conducted on the camera.
NOTE: The changes you make to the photo apply only to viewing and printing the
photo, and will not be saved on the memory card or storage device.

CAUTION:

Scanning

Scanning converts text and images from documents and pictures placed on the scanner glass into electronic data, and then sends the data to your computer. To scan using the ESP 9 All-in-One printer, the printer must be connected to a computer. You can scan to the following destinations:

Before you start

Before you start scanning with this All-in-One printer, Kodak recommends that you use the Home Center software to configure the default scan settings. This way, you can easily manage the scan in your computer. See All-in-One printer Home Center
software, page 19 for additional information.
Using the Home Center software, you can adjust the following default settings for scanned photos and documents:
•Kodak Home Center
• Memory card or USB flash drive connected to the printer using the appropriate opening on the front panel of the computer
• Third–party scanner software application
• As a file on your computer
• Applications used for file destination(s).
If you save a document scan to an application, the scan cannot be later accessed by optical character recognition (OCR) software. If you want to be able to edit the text of the document after scanning it, save the scanned document as a file.
• 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 .jpg (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.
• Color or black-and-white (Windows only).
62 www.kodak.com/go/aiosupport
• Print quality for scanning documents.
CAUTION:
Before initiating a scan, you can also preview the scan in Home Center, and crop the output as desired. When you are satisfied with the intended results, you can initiate the scan directly from Home Center. See Home Center Help for instructions. To review how to access Home Center help, see All-in-One printer Home Center
software, page 19.
Scanning with Macintosh computers is accomplished by using the twain driver available with your Kodak software. Scanning is supported with any twain-enabled software application.

Maintaining Your Printer

General care

Your Kodak ESP 9 All-in-One printer requires little maintenance. However, Kodak recommends cleaning the scanner glass and lid backing regularly to remove dust and fingerprints. Fingerprints and other debris on the glass or lid backing could slow down the printer’s performance, and affect the quality and accuracy of scanning.
Service agreements are available in some countries. Contact dealers for Kodak products for more information.
For recycling and/or disposal information, contact your local authorities. In the U.S., visit the Electronics Industry Alliance Web site at www.eiae.org.
Always disconnect the power on the this All-in-One printer before cleaning it. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners or organic solvents on the printer or any of its parts.
• To clean the printer, wipe the outside with a clean, dry cloth.

• Protect the printer from tobacco smoke, dust, sand, other small particles (such as crumbs), and liquid spills.
• Avoid placing objects on the printer.
• Keep the printer 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 printer.
• If the printer has been exposed to bad weather or has water inside it, turn it off and let it dry completely. If this does not solve the problem, contact customer support (see Contacting Kodak Customer Service & Support, page 2).

Cleaning the scanner glass

For good copies and scans, ensure the printer's scanner glass and lid backing are clean; dust the exterior as needed.
WARNING: Do not use abrasives, acetone, benzene, or carbon tetrachloride on the glass, as 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.
