Aligning print cartridges
If the print quality is not satisfactory, a simple cartridge alignment may
improve print quality. If print quality is still not satisfactory after aligning the
print cartridges, you may need to clean the print nozzles.
1Load plain paper in the printer. For help loading paper, see page 4.
2From the Control Program’s Cartridges tab, select Align
Cartridges.
Your printer prints an alignment test page and the Align Cartridge
dialog box is displayed.
The test page prints several alignment patterns, depending on the
cartridge combination installed. Each pattern has a number under
it. The test page that prints is similar to the one shown:
Note: If you have a color and
black cartridge combination
installed, you will hav e two more
alignment values, C and D.
Follow the same instructions as
you would for the color and
photo cartridge combinations.
Caring for your cartridges
3From each alignment group on the test page, find the number
under the alignment pattern that comes closest to forming a
straight line.
For example, in sample group A, the arrow points to the pattern
that comes closest to forming a straight line.
4In the Align Cartridges dialog box, enter the pattern numbers
from the printed test page that come closest to forming a straight
line.
5After you have entered a number for all of the patterns, click OK.
56
Cleaning print nozzles
1
Load plain paper in the printer.
2From the Control Program’s Cartridges tab, select Clean Print
Nozzles.
The printer feeds a sheet of paper and prints a nozzle test pattern
similar to the one shown:
Cyan, magenta,
yellow, and
black solid lines
(shown here in
black and white)
print when ink is
forced through
the print
nozzles to
unclog them.
Broken lines at the top
of the page indicate
clogged nozzles.
Unbroken lines at the
bottom of the page
indicate the nozzles
were cleaned.
3Compare the diagonal line above the printed bars to the diagonal
line below the printed bars.
Look for a break in the diagonal lines above the printed bars. A
broken line indicates clogged nozzles.
If the bottom line still has breaks, run the test up to two more times.
–If the print quality is satisfactory after running the test three
times, the print nozzles are clean. You do not need to
complete the remaining steps.
–If the print quality of both lines is not satisfactory after running
the test three times, continue with step 4.
4Remove and reinstall the print cartridge.
Caring for your cartridges

To wipe the print cartridge nozzles and contacts:
Caring for your cartridges
1Remove the print cartridge from your printer. For help, see
page 54.

Dampen a clean lint-free cloth with water and gently wipe the
entire gold-colored area, including the nozzles.
Nozzles
WARNING: Wipe the nozzles in one direction so the colors do not
mix.
3To dissolve dried ink, hold the damp cloth against the nozzles for
about three seconds. Gently blot and wipe dry.
4Dampen another section of clean, lint-free cloth with water and
gently wipe the entire gold-colored area, including the contacts.
Contacts
Caring for your cartridges
WARNING: When cleaning the print cartridge, wipe the contacts in
one direction.
5To dissolve dried ink, hold the damp cloth against the contacts for
about three seconds. Gently blot and wipe dry. Allow the
gold-colored areas to dry before you reinsert the cartridge into
your pri nter.
Reinstall the print cartridge and repeat the nozzle test. For help, see
page 57.
60
Preserving print cartridges
To ensure the longest life from your print cartridge and optimum
performance from your printer:
•Keep a new print cartridge in its packaging until you are ready to
install it.
•If a print cartridge runs out of ink, leave the empty cartridge in the
printer until you are ready to replace it. Printing with one of the
print cartridge carriers empty may cause prin te r problem s.
•Do not remove a print cartridge from the printer except to replace,
clean, or store it in an air-tight container. The print cartridge does
not print correctly if removed from the printer and left exposed for
an extended period of time.
The printer warranty does not cover repair of failures or damage caused by
a refilled cartridge. Kodak does not recommend use of refilled cartridges.
Refilling cartridges can affect print quality and cause damage to the printer.
For best results, use Kodak supplies.

your camera card from your camera before it has finished storing the
image. It can also be caused by photos that have been previously
uploaded to a computer and modified.
Note: If the printer is connected to a computer, try viewing your
photos from the card reader mode. For help using the card
reader, see page 42.
Erase Failed
The photos cannot be erased from your disk. Make sure your disk is not
write protected.

General printing problems with or without your
computer
Printer ejects a blank page after appearing to print
Make sure you have removed the sticker and transparent tape covering the
gold area on the print cartridges. For help, see page 2.
Paper misfeeds or pulls multiple sheets through the
printer
Make sure:
•You are using a paper recommended for inkjet printers.
•You do not force the paper down into the printer when you load it.
•You do not load too much paper in the sheet feeder. Depending on
the thickness of your paper, the sheet feeder can hold up to 100
sheets of plain paper or 25 sheets of KODAK’s Premium Picture
Paper.
•The left paper guide does not cause the paper to bow in the sheet
feeder.
•The printer is on a flat, level surface.
Printer has a paper jam
See page 65.
Vertical straight lines are not smooth
To improve the print quality of vertical straight lines in tables, borders, and
graphs:
•Test the cartridge alignment. For help, see page 5 or 56.
•Select a higher Print Quality setting. For help, see page 24 and
40.
•Clean the print nozzles. For help, see page 57 or 58.
69
Troubleshooting
Print is too dark or smudged
Make sure:
•You let the ink dry before handling the paper.
•The Paper Type setting matches the paper type loaded in the
printer.
•The paper is straight and unwrinkled.
•The print quality setting is appropriate for the paper type. If you are
printing on regular paper and have a color and black cartridge
combination installed, select the Draft 300 x 600 dpi Print Quality
setting.
Notes: The Draft 300 x 600 dpi Print Quality option will not be
available when you install a color and photo cartridge
combination.
If print quality still has not improved, you may need to
clean the print nozzles. For help, see page 57 or 58.
Colors are not printing correctly
•Your print cartridge may be low on ink. Check the ink level graphic
on the Cartridges tab of your printer’s Control Program, or the
printer’s operator panel menu. For help, see pages 54 and 59.
•Use a different brand of paper. Every paper brand accepts ink
differently and prints with slight color variations. For best print
results, use KODAK Premium Picture Paper.
•Clean the print nozzles. For help, see page 57 or 58.
Glossy photo papers or transparencies stick together
•Remove each page as it exits the printer and allow it to dry before
•Use a transparency or photo paper designed for an inkjet printer.
