Scanning

Scanning digitizes documents and pictures, and sends the digital files to your
computer, memory card, email, network folder, or USB flash drive.

To scan to a computer, the Home Center Software must be installed on that
computer, unless you are using the Online Printer Management Tool. (See

the Online Printer Management Tool, page 17.)

When you scan, the digital file can:

• open in Home Center Software (when connected to a computer with
WINDOWS OS)

• open in a third-party scanner software

• be saved in a format and location that you determine (see Changing the scan

settings for scanning from the control panel, page 71)

Accessing

Scanning from a software program on the computer (such as Home Center Software)
gives you more options, but you can also scan from the printer control panel.

Before you begin scanning

If you are scanning to a computer, make sure that the printer is connected to a
computer using a USB 2.0 cable or wireless network (see

page 6).

If you want to scan to an email address or to a shared network, you need to:

CAUTION:

Maintaining Your Printer

Your printer requires little maintenance. However, Kodak recommends cleaning the
scanner glass and lid regularly to remove dust and fingerprints, which affect the
quality and accuracy of scanning and copying.

Except while cleaning the printer, keep the printer plugged into an AC power outlet.
If you use a power strip, don't turn off the power strip. (The printer does not
necessarily have to be turned on, but should be plugged in.)

Keep the printhead and ink cartridges in the printer at all times to help prevent
damage to the printhead.

For recycling and/or disposal information, contact your local authorities. In the US,
go to the Electronics Industry Alliance at

www.kodak.com/go/recycle.

General care and cleaning

Always disconnect the power to the printer before cleaning it. Do not use
harsh or abrasive cleaners on any part of the printer.

• 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, and liquid spills.

• Do not place objects on the printer.

• Keep the paper trays free of dust, dirt, and other foreign objects.

• Keep the printer supplies away from direct sunlight and out of high-temperature
environments.

• Do not allow chemicals to come into contact with the printer.

www.kodak.com/go/aiosupport 83

Cleaning the scanner glass and document backing

CAUTION:

Document backing

Scanner glass

The scanner glass can get smudged and minor debris can accumulate on the white
document backing under the scanner lid. Periodically clean the scanner glass and
document backing.

Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners on any part of the printer.
Do not spray liquid directly on the glass.
Do not use paper-based wipes on the document backing as they can
scratch it.
