Docking and charging your digital camera

Docking your digital camera lets you make prints directly from the camera and transfer pictures from the camera to the computer. Docking your camera also charges an installed Kodak Ni-MH rechargeable digital camera battery or Kodak Li-Ion rechargeable digital camera battery. See your camera user's guide for details.

Plus, the Kodak EasyShare printer dock plus series 3 is ImageLink print system compatible. This allows you to dock not only Kodak EasyShare digital cameras, but other brands of ImageLink system compatible digital cameras as well.

  1. Make sure a custom camera insert is installed on the printer dock (see Installing the custom camera insert). If your camera uses a Kodak Ni-MH rechargeable digital camera battery or Kodak Li-Ion rechargeable digital camera battery, insert in your camera for charging.


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

IMPORTANT: Keep the camera wrist or neck strap clear of the paper path to the front and rear of the printer dock.


  • The Kodak Ni-MH rechargeable digital camera battery and the Kodak Li-Ion rechargeable digital camera 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 Ni-MH rechargeable digital camera battery

IMPORTANT: The battery refresh feature is intended for use with the Kodak Ni-MH rechargeable digital camera battery only. Li-Ion batteries do not require refreshing.


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

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

  1. Make sure the Ni-MH rechargeable battery 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 (lights turn off as discharging progresses).







Ascending steady green lights

Charging battery (lights turn on as charging progresses).

Charging is complete when all three lights are lit.
