4 Handling Paper Your Kodak All-in-One printer accepts print stock of various types and sizes, including letter-and legal-size plain paper, photo paper, transparencies, T-shirt transfers, envelopes, cards, and labels. It automatically detects the size and whether or not photo paper is loaded into the paper tray. Kodak photo paper contains barcodes that allow your All-in-One printer to detect the paper type that optimize your photo prints.
Handling Paper • If the paper you use is longer than A4 size, including Legal and panoramic photo paper, make sure that the hinged end of the paper stop lays flat and is NOT pulled up. The longer paper should balance on the paper output tray without sliding off. Caution: This is crucially important when you are printing two or more sheets of long paper. Long paper that cannot extend straight to its full length when output from the printer can fold behind the object ahead of it.

9 Troubleshooting Troubleshooting “quick start” Kodak provides several methods to help you troubleshoot your All-in-One printer issues. Here are some quick tips: • Turn off your printer and then unplug it. Wait five seconds, and then plug the power cord back into the printer. Finally, turn the printer back on. • Confirm that you are using a 2.0 USB cable to connect the printer to your computer. If you need to buy one, they are available online at www.kodak.
Troubleshooting Corrective Action • Make sure the electrical power cord is connected to the alternating current power adapter and is plugged into a grounded power outlet or power strip. • If using a power strip, make sure it is turned on. • If using a switched power outlet, make sure the switch is on. • Make sure the power outlet is supplying power. • Verify the light on the Kodak printer power cord plug is lit.
Chapter 9 Corrective Action • Correct any connection problems and try again. • If the file system is corrupt, reformat it. • Disconnect the unsupported device. Note: If the USB drive uses an NTFS or HFS formatting system, the printer may not be able to read it. Macintosh users may need to transfer these files directly to their computer, and then print to the printer from there. Ink cartridge not recognized Probable Cause 1 The color or black ink cartridge installed was not recognized.
Troubleshooting Multiple pictures not scanned properly When scanning or copying, the Kodak printer can detect multiple images on the scanner glass, straighten them, and create individual files. If you are having trouble with this feature, check the following: Probable Cause 1 Your photos are not placed optimally on the scanner glass. Corrective Action • Make sure that your photos do not overlap. • Place photos away from the edges of the scanner glass. • Some images do not scan well.
Chapter 9 • Make sure you are using the proper USB cable (USB 2.0). • If you are using a USB hub to connect the USB cable to the computer, make sure that it has power. Use a self-powered (connected to an electrical outlet) USB hub instead of one that uses the computer’s internal power. • Check the connection from your computer to your printer. Ensure that the square end of the USB cable is plugged in to the USB port on the back of your printer, and the flat end into a USB port on your computer.
Troubleshooting Corrective Action If the printhead has come loose: 1 Open the printer access door, then remove the black and color ink cartridges. 2 Press the printhead release button. 3 Lift the printhead out. 4 Reinsert the printhead and ink cartridges.

Troubleshooting No IP address with cable modem (without a router) Probable Cause If you have a computer with a cable modem, a separate Local Area Network (LAN) for your other computers, and no DHCP or router, you must use AutoIP to assign IP addresses to the other computers and to the printer. Corrective Action To obtain an IP address for the computer with the cable modem Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) assigns either a static or dynamic IP address to the computer with the cable modem.
Chapter 9 Note: Devices like wireless speakers or wireless gaming accessories can emit radio interference at 2.4 GHz. You can verify this on your wireless desktop or laptop computer by viewing sporadic signal bars in your Wi-Fi status utility. Repositioning your computer away from these sources of signal interference can improve your computer network performance. For example: • Do place the AP/router in a central room.
Troubleshooting Corrective Action Unplug the Ethernet cable. Weak signal Probable Cause The access point is too far away or there is interference. Corrective Action • If there is a long distance between your computer or access point and the printer, move them closer together. • If there are metal objects (such as a metal bookcase or refrigerator) in the transmission path, clear the path between the printer and the computer or access point.
Chapter 9 Probable Cause 5 The wireless settings on the printer do not match the wireless settings of your access point. Corrective Action Print a network configuration page to compare the wireless settings of the printer with the wireless settings for your access point. Change either the device or access point settings so that both the printer and the access point have matching wireless settings. Probable Cause 6 You entered the wrong mode (ad hoc or infrastructure) or security type.
Troubleshooting Corrective Action If you do not know the WEP key, see the documentation that came with your access point/ router. The WEP key is stored within the access point. Usually you can find the WEP key by logging on to the Embedded Web Server of your access point through your computer. Probable Cause 2 The WEP key index setting of your access point does not match the WEP key index setting of the All-in-One printer. Corrective Action The printer is looking for a WEP key index of 1.

A Glossary A Ad hoc The Kodak All-in-One printer communicates directly with each device on the network. No wireless access point is used. This is also called a peer-to-peer network. On an Apple Macintosh, ad hoc is called computer-to-computer. AiO All-in-One. B Bluetooth An industrial specification for wireless personal area networks (PANs).
Glossary Ethernet A family of computer networking technologies for local area networks (LANs). It defines a number of wiring and signaling standards of network access at the Media Access Control (MAC)/Data Link Layer, and a common addressing format. EXIF Exchangeable Image File Format. A standard for storing interchange information in image files, especially those using JPEG compression. Most digital cameras now use the EXIF format.
Chapter A M MAC Media Access Control. The Media Access Control address identifies the Kodak Allin-One printer. This is a unique 12-digit identification number assigned to networking hardware for identification, including routers, switches, and other such devices. No two pieces of hardware have the same MAC address. Some Internet service providers (ISPs) require that you register the MAC address of the Network Card or LAN Adapter that was connected to your cable or DSL modem during installation.
Glossary Red Eye The red-eye effect in flash photography is caused by the light from the flash reflecting off the blood vessels and interior eye tissue in humans. Animal eye glow from reflections is caused by a different internal eye structure, which is much like a mirror. When not enough time elapses between the flash and exposure (as with most compact cameras), the light of the flash occurs too fast for the iris of the eye to close the pupil.
Chapter A Wi-Fi Wireless Fidelity. A common “shorthand” name for wireless computer networking. WPA Wi-Fi Protected Access. A class of systems to secure wireless (Wi-Fi) computer networks. WPA is designed to work with pre-WPA wireless network interface cards (through firmware upgrades), but not necessarily with first generation wireless access points. WPA2 implements the full standard, but will not work with some older network cards. WPA Key A WPA key is an encryption key for wireless networking devices.
