Kodak ESP 9 All-in-One printer
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.

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.

Using the number keypad buttons
The number keypad is used primarily as a resource for sending faxes from the ESP 9
All–in–One printer. It is also used to enter a quantity for making copies.

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.

Using the All-in-One printer menus
Use the menus on the LCD screen to select stand-alone tasks (that is, tasks that can
be performed without your computer), such as copying documents or photos;
printing photos stored on memory cards, USB drives, Kodak Bluetooth adapter
(“dongle”), or digital cameras plugged into the printer; or sending a fax.
Menu layout
Using the appropriate menu, you can also initiate tasks that will be completed on a
computer connected to the printer, such as transferring photos from a compatible
device connected to the printer (such as a memory card, digital camera, or USB
drive) to the computer.
Your printer updates the content of the menu dynamically, according to the tasks
you perform.
A description of how the menus are displayed in the printer control panel is shown in
the illustration and the legend below.

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).
Configuring basic settings
