1Getting started
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 at least 5 in. (12.7 cm) clearance from
the back of the printer dock for paper travel.
■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.
■Allow enough space on all sides of the printer dock to let you connect and
disconnect cables, change the color cartridge, and add paper.

17 www.kodak.com/go/support
Printing without a computer
Effect of picture size on number of copies
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 are
printed on one sheet of paper.
When printing tagged pictures (see page 15), 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. (5.1 x 7.6 cm) 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 optimizes the use of white space on the paper.
NOTE: When printing from a PictBridge compatible camera or device (see page 15), picture size and
number of copies are determined by the device’s multi-up and copies settings. Change these
settings on your device before printing. If the picture size option selected on your device does not
match any of the picture size options on the printer dock, the closest available picture size option on
the printer dock is automatically selected.

Unable to remove
color cartridge
(Paper light may
glow steady red or
blink)
IMPORTANT:
The color cartridge may lock in place if there is a paper
error. Do not attempt to remove the cartridge without first
clearing the paper error. Make sure the Paper light is off
before attempting to remove the cartridge (see Paper light
under Status lights, page 58).
■Check to see if the paper tray is empty or if paper is missing
perforated tabs. Reload paper if necessary (page 6), then try again.
■Make sure paper is not jammed. Clear the jam if necessary
(page 49), then try again.
■Disconnect then reconnect the power and try again.
IMPORTANT:
Upon reconnecting the power, the color cartridge may
advance to the next picture slot on the ribbon, resulting in a
supply mismatch (see below).
Paper runs out
before the color
cartridge (or vice
versa)
■Supply mismatch can result from several different situations,
including:
—Scrapping of paper as a result of jams or other errors
—Gradual advancement of the color cartridge ribbon due to
removing ribbon slack or clearing jams
—Advancement of the color cartridge ribbon upon reconnecting
power to unlock the color cartridge
Supply mismatch is likely to occur as you continue to use your printer
dock. To keep your cartridge and paper supply synchronized, discard
unused cartridge or paper when one or the other is fully depleted.

■Battery performance is reduced at temperatures below 5° C (41° F). 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 Kodak Ni-MH
rechargeable digital camera battery, (and if none of the tips above seem to help),
consider refreshing the battery (see page 9) or replacing it.

Regulatory compliance
FCC compliance and advisory
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed or used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation.

If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged
to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: 1) reorient
or relocate the receiving antenna; 2) increase the separation between the equipment
and the receiver; 3) connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that
to which the receiver is connected; 4) consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for additional suggestions.
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. Where shielded

SAR statement (when using with Wi-Fi card)
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are
associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that
these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power wireless devices
emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being
used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue),
exposure to low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known
adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any
biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might
occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. Kodak
Wi-Fi® card (3F8508) has been tested and found to comply with FCC radiation
exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled equipment and meets the FCC radio
frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65. The maximum SAR
levels tested for Kodak Wi-Fi® card (3F8508) have been shown to be 0.616 W/kg at
Body.
FCC and Industry Canada
This device complies with Industry Canada RSS-210 and FCC Rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
