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.

Memory cards supported

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

–

SD Secure Digital Card, Multi-Media Card

–

CF Compact Flash type I and type II, including micro drives

–

SDHC Secure Digital High Capacity cards.

2. Press the front of the control panel and the release tab toward each other with your thumb and fingers; maintain this position and pull the control panel toward you gently.

3. When you are satisfied with the position of the control panel, let go.

4. To return the control panel to its default position, squeeze the release tab and gently push the control panel away from you. Let go when the panel is seated against the front panel of the printer.

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 :

Using the 4-way navigation buttons

NOTE: The OK button is located in the center of the 4-way navigation buttons on

the control panel. Its use is described in Using the OK button, page 11.

Using the number keypad buttons

12 www.kodak.com/go/aiosupport

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

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.

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).
