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 Installing the custom camera insert), and a dock-rechargeable battery is installed in the camera (see Choosing the right camera battery for your EasyShare camera).


  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-Ion 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. 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 Docking and charging your digital camera).


  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.
