Calibrating the Printer
The KODAK Calibration Utility (calibration utility) allows the KODAK Photo
Printer to produce the best possible color response. Printer calibration
adjusts the response of the printer so that a specific data input value yields a
specific color density output. When a printer is properly calibrated, it
generates the correct density for each given data value.
Your KODAK Photo Printer is shipped with default factory calibration values.
You should be able to set up your printer and begin printing right away
without having to first calibrate the printer. However, if you are dissatisfied
with the color of your prints, follow the steps in this chapter to calibrate your
printer.
Installing the Calibration Software
1. Insert the CD that came with the printer into your CD-ROM drive.
The CD Browser launches automatically. If it does not, double-click
the Kodak68xx.exe file in the CD root directory.
2. Select your language.
3. Click Software.
NOTE: Before installing the software, read the Calibration Software Readme
file for important information and updates about the software.
4. Click Calibration Software to start the installer.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the calibration software.
Using the Calibration Utility
Before you use the calibration utility, make sure you are familiar with how
your KODAK Photo Printer operates.
Calibrate your printer whenever the color balance of prints does not look
right. You may also want to calibrate your printer after it has been serviced.
Easy Cal is a five-step process that quickly calibrates your printer using the
Visual Gray Balance method. Before using Easy Cal, start the calibration utility.

Operating the Printer
Making Prints You make prints using photo printing software applications. For
application-specific printing information, see the user’s guide or online Help
for the software application.
Handling and Storing Prints
For best results:
• Make sure hands are clean and free of food, oil, and grease.
• Store prints in a cool, dry environment free of chemical contamination.
• Store prints at temperatures below 72° F (25° C) for extended periods.
• Store prints at a relative humidity between 30% and 50%.
• Avoid exposure to high-intensity light sources, particularly fluorescent light
and sunlight, which are rich in ultraviolet radiation.
• Avoid exposure to vinyl items (those made of polyvinyl chloride, PVC) and
any plastic that contains plasticizer. If you use transparent sleeves, make
sure that they are not PVC-based.

Performing Routine Maintenance
To maintain good print quality:
1. Clean the stripper plate, platen roller, and cleaning rollers monthly,
using the alcohol pads included in the KODAK Thermal Printer Cleaning
Kit.
2. Only clean the thermal head if directed to do so by a KODAK Service
Representative. Do not include the thermal head in your monthly
cleaning process.
NOTE: If there is paper or ribbon loaded in the printer, remove it before
performing maintenance procedures.
CAUTION:
Alcohol is a flammable liquid. It can cause eye irritation and
dry skin. Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause drying,
cracking or irritation. Wash your hands with soap and water

Clearing a Paper Jam
If the Paper Jam message is displayed on the operator panel, there are two
methods that you can use to try to clear the paper jam.
Method 1
1. Press Paper Rewind until the Paper Empty message appears.
2. Press Paper Advance to re-load the paper into the printer.
The printer advances the paper, then cuts and discharges about 20 in.
(508 mm) of blank paper. This reduces the possibility of fingerprints
or other damage to the prints (see page A-2).
The operator panel displays the Ready message.
Method 2 If the Paper Jam message is still displayed on the operator panel:
1. Turn off the printer and open the upper cover.
2. Remove the ribbon from the printer.
CAUTION:
Prevent damage to the printer. Do not pull abruptly on the
paper.
3. Slowly and carefully pull the jammed paper out of the printer.
4. Cut off any damaged or printed areas of the paper.
NOTE: Do not damage or mark any of the rollers.

NOTE: If the Paper Jam message is still displayed on the operator panel, and
you are at the end of a paper roll, it is possible that a segment of
paper is too short to automatically exit the printer. Remove the front
cleaning roller (see “Cleaning the Cleaning Rollers” on page 5-3)
and remove the segment of paper.
Recovering from a Power Interruption
CAUTION:
If the printer loses power while printing, the printer stops with
the thermal head positioned against the platen roller. The
platen roller could be deformed and damaged if the thermal
head is left in this position.
If a power outage occurs:
1. Open the upper cover immediately to release the pressure on the platen
roller. Leave the cover open until power is restored.
2. When power is restored, restart the printer by following the procedure
for “Clearing a Paper Jam” on page 6-3.
3. Submit your print job again.
