Finding a location for your printer dock

Place the printer dock on a flat, clean, dust-free surface, in a dry location,
and out of direct sunlight.
Allow 5 in. (12.7 cm) clearance on all sides of
the printer dock.
For proper ventilation, make sure the top and
back of the printer dock are not blocked.
When connecting power or USB cables, keep
the cables clear of the paper path to the front and rear of the printer dock.
Avoid areas where ventilation ducts, open doors, or frequent passersby
might expose the printer dock and paper to high levels of dust and debris. Airborne dirt particles can affect picture quality.

Installing the custom camera insert

Important battery information

Battery safety and handling

Do not allow batteries to touch metal objects, including coins. If they do,
batteries may short circuit, discharge energy, become hot, or leak.
For rechargeable battery disposal information, visit the Rechargeable
Battery Recycling Corporation Web site at www.rbrc.com.

Extending battery life

Limit the following activities that quickly deplete battery power:
– Reviewing your pictures on the camera screen
– Using the camera screen as a viewfinder
– Excessive use of the flash
Dirt on the battery contacts can affect battery life. Wipe the contacts with a
clean, dry cloth before loading batteries in the camera.
Battery performance is reduced at temperatures below 41° F (5° C). When
using your camera in cold weather, carry spare batteries and keep them warm. Do not discard cold batteries that do not work; when they return to room temperature, they may be usable.
If you are getting fewer than 20 pictures per charge with your Ni-MH
rechargeable battery pack, (and if none of the tips above seem to help), consider refreshing the battery pack (see page 11).

Printing without a computer

Changing the printed picture size

1 Follow the procedure for printing from your EasyShare camera (see
page 13), Kodak 8-in-1 card reader (see page 15), or PictBridge device
(see page 15).
2 Before printing, while making selections or changing settings, press the
Picture size button repeatedly to scroll through the available options:
1 up—one 4 x 6 in. (102 x 152 mm) picture per print (default) 2 up—two 2.1 x 3.3 in. (54 x 85 mm) pictures per print 4 up—four 2 x 3 in. (51 x 76 mm) pictures per print 9 up—nine 1.3 x 2 in. (34 x 51 mm) pictures per print
In most cases, the Picture size setting also determines the number of copies that are printed. For example, if you choose to print a picture with 2 up selected, 2 copies of that picture will be printed on one sheet of paper.
When printing tagged pictures (see page 14), the number of copies that are printed is determined by the setting on your camera or device. For example, if three pictures on your camera are each tagged for printing one copy, and the 4 up option on the printer dock is selected, three 2 x 3 in. (51 x 76 mm) pictures are printed on one sheet of paper.
For best results, choose a picture size or number of copies (on your camera or device) that maximizes the use of white space on the paper.
3 Continue changing other settings or begin printing. NOTE: When printing from a PictBridge device (see page 15), picture size is controlled by the
multi-up setting on the device itself, if available. The Picture size lights indicate the device’s selected multi-up option, based on the closest available format on the printer dock.
To change the default picture size:
Select a picture size (see above), then press and hold the Picture size
button for 4 seconds.
The selected Picture size light flashes, then turns solid.

If there are no pictures on your computer, use the printer dock to transfer pictures from your camera before printing (see page 22).
IMPORTANT:

Printing with Kodak EasyShare software

1 Make sure Kodak EasyShare software is installed (see page 18) and the
printer dock is connected to your computer (see page 21).
2 Click the My Collection tab.
3 Select the pictures you wish to print.
4 Click the Print at Home tab.
5 Make sure the Kodak EasyShare printer dock is selected as the current
printer.
6 Change any other settings, such as paper size and print layout, then click
Print.
NOTE: The Picture size button on the printer dock is disabled when printing from a computer. Set
printing options using EasyShare software.
See the EasyShare software Help for details.
Wait until printing is complete before removing prints, the paper tray, or the camera. Failure to do so can cause paper misfeeds or jams and can damage the printer dock.
