Using the control panel

Adjusting the control panel position

The position of the control panel can be adjusted from its default position (flush against the front of the printer) to lifted upward at an angle.

To adjust the control panel position:

1 On the rear side of the control panel, locate the release tab.

Chapter 2

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.

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.

Tip: Make sure that the Printer Sounds option (available in the Printer Settings

menu) is set to ON when learning to use the printer. With sound enabled, the printer gives you audible feedback when you press any button on the control panel.

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.

Use the the number keypad to:

• Dial a fax phone number

14 Kodak ESP 9 Printer User Guide

• 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).

Tip: 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 .

Using the on-screen keyboard

Chapter 2

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 (WiFi) network, in the Network Settings menu

• Entering or editing your Fax Sender information in the Fax Settings menu

• Entering or editing the fax recipient Name in the Fax Phonebook

To maneuver around the on-screen keyboard, use the 4–way navigation buttons, described on page 12, and the

OK button, described on page 13.
