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.

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.

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, as well as remove and 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.

For more information about sending and receiving faxes using this All-in-One printer, see Chapter 8, “Faxing” on page 63.

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” on page 33.

Warning: Use only the phone cord supplied in the All-in-One printer box to

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” below

Cable telephone delivered by a cable television service

• “Using cordless telephones with the ESP 9 All–in–One fax” on page 31

• “Using voice–messaging services with the ESP 9 All–in–One fax” on page 31

• “Using an answering machine with the ESP 9 All–in–One fax” on page 32

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.

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.

30 Kodak ESP 9 Printer User Guide

Chapter 3

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.

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 connects 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” on page 36.

Kodak ESP 9 Printer User Guide 31

Setting Up Your Printer

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” on page 36.

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

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 illustrtations that follow). Make sure the answering machine is set to answer calls before the printer. See “Specifying Rings to Answer” on page 35

Connecting the phone and fax

Chapter 3

Specifying Rings to Answer

You can specify how many rings should occur before the All–in–One printer automatically answers an incoming call. This setting applies only if the Fax Auto–Answer feature is set to

On.

The

Rings–to–Answer setting is critically important for you if an answering machine

shares the same phone line as your All-in-One printer, because the answering machine must answer the phone first. If this parameter is not set correctly, the answering machine cannot

record any incoming calls.

Note: If you use a voice messaging service instead of an answering machine, this

option is not effective. See “Setting Fax Auto–Answer” and “Specifying a distinctive ring for Fax Auto–Answer” on page 36.

The All–in–One printer monitors every call into the phone line, including calls picked up by the answering machine. If it detects incoming fax tones, it will receive the fax. It ignores any call that does not transmit the fax tones and allows the answering machine to record it.

Set the number of Rings to Answer for the printer to exceed the number rings set for the

answering machine.

Note: This ESP 9 All–in–One printer allows you to specify the Rings–to–Answer

from 1–6 rings. Make sure your answering machine is set to answer calls in fewer rings than your choice for Rings–to–Answer for your printer. For more information, see “Fax Settings Options ” on page 37.

is slower than tone dialing. Contact your telephone company if you are unsure as to which setting to use .

Manually receiving fax

If Fax Auto–Answer is set to Off, there are two ways to accept an incoming fax and print it with the All–in–Oneprinter. You can:

• Press the Start button on the All–in–One printer control panel when you pick up the

telephone handset and hear fax tones.

• Using any phone that uses the same telephone line used by the All–in–One printer for

fax, dial the Remote Access Code:

234.

Tip: Is your All–in–One printer located in a separate room from a telephone with

the same number used by the ESP 9 All-in-One printer? If so, remember to dial

234 when you pick up the phone and hear incoming fax tones.

Specifying a distinctive ring for Fax Auto–Answer

If you have one phone line shared by two or more phone numbers, your telephone service provider may be able to provide distinctive ring patterns for each phone number. For example, if you have designated one number as the number for receiving and sending faxes, you may have a ring pattern different than the pattern used for the phone number used for your personal voice calls or your business voice calls.If you have voice mail on your shared phone line that you use for sending or receiving faxes and do not have access to distinctive ring through your telephone service, you should disable Fax Augo-Answer.

By using the detects the ring pattern specified for incoming faxes, it will automatically answer the call and receive the fax.

If two or more phone numbers are shared, set the Distinctive Ring feature to answer one of the lines and set review how to use Fax Auto–Answer with an answering machine.

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 optimize your photo prints.

The bottom paper tray accepts media from 6 to 9 inches wide, and from 7–14 inches long (see the Note 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.

on page 41); its capacity is 100 sheets of 20 lb. plain paper. The top tray

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).

Kodak ESP 9 Printer User Guide 39

Handling Paper

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.

Lower the paper output tray and gently close the loaded paper 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.

• 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.

Caution: 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, eventually, the trapped sheets jam the paper inside the printer, which cannot free themselves from the print roller and onto the paper output tray.

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

Caution: 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 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 display.

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

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 functionality.

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 .jpeg 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 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.

50 Kodak ESP 9 Printer User Guide

Chapter 5

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, if your printer is within range of the device (see “Range” below), your printer will appear in the list, with a name starting with rename it, as appropriate.)

If your device prompts you for the printer’s personal identification number (PIN) to authenticate and initiate the connection, enter

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:

• 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

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” on page 20 for additional information.

Using the Home Center software, you can adjust the following default settings for scanned photos and documents:

• Applications used for file destination(s).

Caution: 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.

Kodak ESP 9 Printer User Guide 59

Scanning

• 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 view 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,

• Macintosh: All scans are saved by default in a folder with the current date in the

Documents folder.

• 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).

• Print quality for scanning documents.

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” on page 20.

Scanning multiple originals simultaneously

When the Scan What option is set to Photo in the Home Center software, your All-in-One printer can detect multiple photos placed on the scanner glass. Allow some space on the scanner glass between each item, and use the Home Center software to save each photo as a separate file. Any images on the scanner glass that overlap are interpreted by the software as a single image file.

Caution: Home Center cannot interpret two or more documents, photos, or a

combination of documents and photos, as separate scanned items when the

Scan What option is set to Document.

Adjusting scan settings

You can change the default scan settings for your printer using the control panel. When you change scan settings from the control panel, the settings apply only to the current scan job. To apply scan settings to all future scan jobs, you can save your changes.

Faxing

Introduction

Your Kodak ESP 9 All-in-One printer allows you to send and receive faxes (including color faxes), assign and use quick dial settings for frequently used fax recipients, and select a number of fax options from the control panel.

Note: On a Windows PC connected to the All-in-One printer, you can create and

manage the Fax Phonebook using Home Center software. See Home Center Help for more information. Home Center software is discussed on page 20.

This feature is not available from Home Center software on a Macintosh.

Caution: Faxing only receives and transmits single-sided documents.

Fax settings

Configuring the ESP 9 to send and receive fax transmissions is discussed in Chapter 3, “Setting Up Your Printer” .

Sending faxes

Your printer provides three ways to send faxes. Use the procedure described below that best meets your needs:

Maintaining Your Printer

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

General care

Caution: 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.

• Keep the surrounding area vacuumed and litter-free.

• 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” on page 2).

Kodak ESP 9 Printer User Guide 73

Maintaining Your Printer

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.

1 Unplug the printer and raise the lid.

2 Clean the glass with a soft cloth or sponge slightly moistened with a nonabrasive glass

cleaner.

3 Dry the glass with a lint-free cloth.

4 When finished cleaning, plug in the printer.

Cleaning the scanner lid

Minor debris can accumulate on the document backing located underneath the scanner lid of the Kodak printer.

Warning: Do not use paper-based wipes, as these might scratch the underside of

the scanner lid. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners or organic solvents on the printer or any of its parts.

74 Kodak ESP 9 Printer User Guide

Chapter 9

1 Unplug the printer and raise the lid.

2 Clean the underside with a soft cloth or sponge, slightly moistened with a mild soap and

warm water.

3 Wipe the underside gently to loosen debris. Do not scrub.
