1 Getting 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.

Installing the custom camera insert

IMPORTANT: Use the custom insert that came with your digital camera to dock the camera, otherwise the camera may not fit on the printer dock.

• Locate and install the custom insert included with your camera.

IMPORTANT: Depending on your camera connector, you may also need to use the Kodak dock adapter D-26. See the instructions included with the dock adapter.

a Remove any packing material covering the connector.
b Place the rear tabs of the insert in the slots toward the back of the printer dock.
c Press the front of the insert down and snap into place.

Purchase a custom camera insert for your Kodak EasyShare digital camera and other accessories at www.kodak.com/go/accessories.

Connecting the power

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK:

Use only the AC power adapter included with your printer dock. Other adapters or cords can damage your camera, printer dock, or computer.

1 Remove the camera from the printer dock.
2 Connect the AC power cord to the AC power adapter, then to the back of the printer dock.

NOTE: The AC power cord included with your printer dock may not require assembly, and may be different from the one shown.

3 Connect the AC power cord into a power outlet.

Purchase an AC power cord and other accessories at www.kodak.com/go/accessories.

Handling and storing the color cartridge

For best quality prints, store the color cartridge in a location where the temperature does not exceed 85^ (30^) .
To avoid getting fingerprints on the ribbon, handle the color cartridge by the spool ends.
- Keep the color cartridge away from direct sunlight and out of high-temperature environments (such as a vehicle parked in the sun).

Installing and removing the color cartridge

1 Open the cartridge door on the side of the printer dock.

2 Check to make sure there is no slack in the color cartridge ribbon.

To remove slack, push in on the cartridge spool, then rotate the spool clockwise.

IMPORTANT: Be careful not to rotate the spool more than necessary. Doing so could reduce the number of prints you are able to make.

3 Slide the color cartridge in, label side up, with the arrow pointing toward the printer dock. Push the cartridge until it "clicks" into place.
4 Close the cartridge door.

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 Printer dock status lights, page 41).

To remove the color cartridge, open the color cartridge door, then push up on the green lever and slide the cartridge out.

• When the cartridge is almost empty, the Color cartridge light blinks slowly for several seconds.
• When the cartridge is depleted, the Color cartridge light glows steady amber.

After installing a new color cartridge, press the Print button to clear the cartridge error and resume printing.

Handling and storing the paper

To avoid fingerprints, handle the paper by the edges or by the perforated tabs. Do not touch the glossy side of the paper.
- When storing, remove the paper tray, then close the paper tray cover and paper tray door to keep out dust and debris. Store paper flat.

• Keep the paper away from direct sunlight and out of high-temperature environments (such as a vehicle parked in the sun).

Loading the paper

1 Remove the paper tray from the printer dock if installed (see page 7).

2 Slide the paper tray cover back until it "clicks" into place, about 1.25 in. (3 cm), then lift up on the end of the paper tray cover.

IMPORTANT: Do not load more than 25 sheets of paper. Use the upper limit line inside the paper tray as a guide to prevent overloading. Do not load paper that is missing perforated tabs. To avoid fingerprints, do not touch the glossy side of the paper.

3 Carefully "fan" the paper to keep the sheets from sticking together.

4 Load the paper into the paper tray, with the Kodak logo side facing down.
5 Close the paper tray cover.

Purchase Kodak color cartridge & paper kits and other accessories at a retailer of Kodak products, or visit www.kodak.com/go/accessories.

Installing and removing the paper tray

1 Open the paper tray door on the printer dock.

2 Slide the paper tray cover back until it "clicks" into place, about 1.25 in. (3 cm).

3 Slide the paper tray in the printer tray slot until the tray locks into place.

IMPORTANT: To ensure the paper tray fits squarely on the printer dock, make sure to keep the paper tray cover all the way open while installing.

Pull the paper tray out to remove it.

Close the paper tray cover and paper tray door to keep out dust and debris.

When the paper tray is empty, the Paper light glows steady amber.

After refilling and installing the paper tray, press the Print button to clear the paper error and resume printing.

2 Setting up your digital camera

Choosing the right camera battery for your EasyShare camera

CAUTION:

Damage caused by unauthorized accessories is not covered under warranty.

If your EasyShare digital camera came with non-rechargeable batteries:

If your EasyShare digital camera came with a rechargeable Li-Ion battery:

install it in your camera.

Do not use the Ni-MH rechargeable battery pack that came with the printer dock*

• Contents subject to change.

NOTE: The Kodak EasyShare Ni-MH rechargeable battery pack and Kodak Li-1on rechargeable battery are not charged when you receive them. Completely charge them before using them with your EasyShare camera (see page 10). For battery information for other brands of ImageLink print system compatible cameras, see the camera user's guide.

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 Kodak EasyShare Ni-MH rechargeable battery pack, (and if none of the tips above seem to help), consider refreshing the battery pack (see page 11).

For more information on batteries, see your camera user's guide, or visit www.kodak.com/global/en/service/batteries/batteryUsage.jhtml.

Docking and charging your digital camera

Docking your digital camera lets you make prints directly from the camera, transfer pictures from the camera to the computer, and charge the camera battery.

The Kodak EasyShare printer dock series 3 is ImageLink print system compatible. So in addition to docking Kodak EasyShare digital cameras, you can dock other brands of ImageLink system compatible digital cameras.

1 Make sure a custom camera insert is installed on the printer dock (see page 2), and a dock-rechargeable battery is installed in the camera (see page 8).

2 Place the camera on the printer dock. Push down to seat the connector.

Keep the camera wrist or neck strap clear of the paper path to the front and rear of the printer dock. The camera is now powered by the printer dock instead of the camera battery.

• The Kodak EasyShare Ni-MH rechargeable battery pack and the Kodak EasyShare Li-Ion rechargeable battery charge up to 3 hours.
  The Battery charging lights turn on as charging progresses. Charging is complete when all three lights are lit.
  You may leave the camera on the printer dock to maintain the charge.

For battery information for other brands of ImageLink system compatible cameras, see the camera user's guide.

Refreshing the Kodak EasyShare Ni-MH rechargeable battery pack

NOTE: The battery refresh feature is intended for use with the Kodak EasyShare Ni-MH rechargeable battery pack only. Li-on batteries do not require refreshing. For battery information for other brands of ImageLink system compatible cameras, see the camera user's guide.

If you are getting fewer than 20 pictures per charge with your Kodak EasyShare Ni-MH rechargeable battery pack, follow the tips under Extending battery life, page 9. If these don't help, the battery pack needs to be refreshed. The refresh cycle completely discharges the battery pack, then fully recharges it.

NOTE: A full refresh cycle takes up to 8 hours, depending on how much charge is left in the battery pack. For best results, refresh the battery pack overnight; do not interrupt the discharge/recharge cycle.

1 Make sure the Ni-MH rechargeable battery pack is in the camera.
2 Place your EasyShare camera on the printer dock (see page 10).

3 Press and hold the Battery charging lights/Refresh button, , until the Battery charging lights begin flashing green (approximately 5 seconds).

The charging lights monitor the refresh status:

	Descending blinking green lights	Discharging battery pack (lights turn off as discharging progresses).
	Ascending steady green lights	Charging battery pack (lights turn on as charging progresses). Charging is complete when all three lights are lit.

Setting the picture quality

Before taking pictures, change the picture quality setting (or resolution) on your digital camera to

3:2 ★★★★. This ensures that the pictures you take are proportional to the printer dock paper, preventing unwanted cropping of your pictures.

See your camera user's guide for more information.

Tagging pictures for printing

NOTE: The following procedure pertains to Kodak EasyShare digital cameras. For information on tagging pictures on other brands of ImageLink system compatible cameras, see the camera user's guide.

1 Press the Share button.
2 Press / to locate a picture.
3 Make sure Print is highlighted (to tag all pictures in the current image storage location, highlight Print All ), then press the OK button.
4 Press to select the number of copies (0 - 99). The default is one. Zero removes the tag for a selected picture.

The Print icon is displayed in the status area.

To apply a print quantity to other pictures, press / to locate them. Keep the print quantity as is, or press / to change it.

5 Press the OK button.
6 Press the Share button to exit.

NOTE: To remove print tagging from all pictures: from the Share menu, highlight Cancel Plints , then press the OK button.

To print tagged pictures from your digital camera, see page 15. To print tagged pictures from your computer, see page 26.

3 Printing without a computer

IMPORTANT: Wait until printing is complete before removing paper, the paper tray, or the camera. Failure to do so can cause paper misfeeds or jams.

Printing from your digital camera

1 Take a picture with your camera (see your camera user's guide).
2 Place the camera on the printer dock (see page 10).

The current or most recent picture appears on the camera screen.

To print the current picture, press the Print button,

NOTE: If you tagged pictures for printing using your digital camera, instead of printing the current picture, all tagged pictures are printed (see page 15).

Press the Left/Right control on the printer dock, to review and choose pictures to print.

3 Press the Print button,

The copy screen appears.

To print more than one copy, press to select the number of copies, then press .

(If you don't press any buttons, after 10 seconds printing starts automatically.)

The Print light blinks, and printing starts. The paper cycles four times during the printing process before the finished print is ejected. The first three passes apply layers of yellow, magenta, and cyan colors to the print, and the fourth pass applies the Kodak XtraLife coating that protects and preserves the image.

Printing from a Kodak card reader

The Kodak EasyShare printer dock series 3 is compatible with the Kodak 8-in-1 card reader and the Kodak 6-in-1 card reader (each sold separately). Other Kodak USB card readers may work with the printer dock; however, other manufacturers' card readers are not supported.

1 For best results, tag pictures on your memory card for printing (see page 12 or your camera user's guide). If you do not tag pictures on your memory card, you will have the option of printing only the most recent picture on the card.

2 Plug the USB connector from the card reader into the USB connector located on the side of the printer dock.
NOTE: If the card reader is already plugged in but the connection is no longer available, disconnect then reconnect the USB cable to re-establish the connection.
3 Insert the memory card into the card reader (see your card reader user's guide for details). Do not insert more than one card at a time.

4 Press to begin printing, or press / to cancel.

Purchase a Kodak card reader and other accessories at a retailer of Kodak products, or visit www.kodak.com/go/accessories.

Printing tagged pictures

If your camera or memory card contains pictures tagged for printing (see page 12 or your camera user's guide), the printer dock gives you the option to print tagged pictures first. If your camera is docked, a message appears on the camera screen indicating that tagged pictures have been found:

To print tagged pictures—press

The Print light blinks, printing starts, and tagged pictures are printed. Print tags are removed from tagged pictures on your camera or card as they are printed.

To bypass printing of tagged pictures—press /

The message disappears after 10 seconds of inactivity.

Printing from a PictBridge compatible device

The Kodak EasyShare printer dock series 3 offers PictBridge technology, which lets you print from any PictBridge compatible camera or device.

1 Plug the USB connector from the PictBridge compatible device into the USB device connector located on the side of the printer dock.

NOTE: If the PictBridge compatible device is already plugged in but the connection is no longer available, disconnect then reconnect the USB cable to re-establish the connection.

2 Use your PictBridge compatible device to review pictures, choose printing options, and print. See your device user's guide for details.

Changing the printed picture size

1 Follow the procedure for printing from your digital camera (see page 13), Kodak card reader (see page 14), or PictBridge compatible device (see page 15).
2 Before printing, while making selections or changing settings, press the Picture Size button repeatedly to scroll through and select a picture size.

Picture Size setting		Number and size of prints per sheet
□	1 up (full photo)	One 4 x 6 in. (102 x 152 mm) picture
□	2 up (card size)	Up to two 2.1 x 3.3 in. (54 x 85 mm) pictures
□	4 up (wallet size)	Up to four 2 x 3 in. (51 x 76 mm) pictures
□	9 up (mini photo)	Up to nine 1.3 x 2 in. (34 x 51 mm) pictures

3 Continue changing other settings or begin printing.

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 blinks, then glows steady.

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 × 3 in. ( 51 × 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 optimizes the use of white space on the paper.

NOTE: When printing from a PictBridge compatible 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.

Printing different pictures on the same sheet

1 Tag the pictures you want to print on your digital camera (see page 12).
2 Place the camera on the printer dock, or insert the memory card into a connected Kodak 8-in-1 or 6-in-1 card reader (sold separately).

If your camera is docked, a message appears on the camera screen indicating that tagged pictures have been found.

3 Press the Picture Size button repeatedly to scroll through and select either 2 up , 4 up , or 9 up , depending on the picture size you wish to print (see page 16).
4 Press to begin printing.

NOTE: If you select more than one copy of a picture when tagging them on your camera, duplicate pictures are printed on the same sheet (see below).
