Printing photos from a PictBridge camera

You can print photos directly from a PictBridge camera, which controls photo selection and printing.

  2. Connect a PictBridge camera to the USB port located on the front panel of your printer.

  3. Use your PictBridge camera to select and print the photos.

Printing Photos from Other Cameras, Memory Cards, and Portable Storage Devices

CAUTION:
This printer does not support portable USB "flash" drives that require third party access software, are encrypted, or contain multiple partitions.

If this type of device is plugged into the USB port on the front panel, the printer does not recognize or display photos, and displays an error message on the control panel screen.

See the first Tip below for a work–around if your flash drive cannot be read by your printer.

  1. Connect an image-transfer digital camera, or portable storage drive to the front panel USB port; or insert a memory card to the appropriate card reader on the front panel. The last photo is displayed first.

    The printer displays the photos on the LCD, last photo first.

  2. Load the paper tray with photo paper, print side down.

  3. Press or until a photo you want to print is displayed in the screen.

  4. Press OK to select the photo.

    Tip: To select and print all the photos on a memory card or portable storage device, hold down the OK button for 2 seconds. Holding down the OK button again for 2 seconds de-selects all the photos

  5. Press Menu to display the Print Photos Options menu.

  6. Press until Quantity is selected, and then press to select the number of prints.

  7. Press Start to print the selected photo, or press 5 until View Photos is selected. Press OK.

  8. Press or until you view another photo you want to print.

  9. Repeat Steps - until you have finished selecting photos

    NOTE: Each photo is automatically deselected after it has been printed

Printing tagged images

Many digital cameras allow you to create a Digital Print Order Format (DPOF) file, an industry standard, for printing tagged photos. When you use your camera to select photos, a file is created identifying the photos tagged for printing. The DPOF file is stored by the digital camera on a memory card and specifies which photos to print.

This All-in-One printer can read the DPOF file from a memory card, and you do not have to reselect the photos you wish to print.

NOTE: Not all digital cameras support tagging or the creation of tagged image files. Refer to your camera's user guide to ensure it supports this functionality.

When you print tagged photos, the selected layout is applied unless your camera allows selection of sizes.

Printing from a Bluetooth–enabled device

Your printer allows you to print from a Bluetooth device, using an optional Kodak USB Bluetooth dongle, which you can purchase from Kodak at www.kodak.com/go/accessories. Bluetooth allows wireless connectivity between compatible electronic devices.

To enable Bluetooth wireless connectivity, plug the Kodak Bluetooth dongle into the USB port located on the front panel of your printer. When the device and the printer are connected, you can send photos from your Bluetooth device to the printer. The All-in-One supports connectivity to one Bluetooth device at a time.

The Kodak dongle (shown below) supports receiving print jobs from the following Bluetooth-enabled devices:

  • mobile camera phones

  • Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs)

  • digital still cameras

  • computers

Range

For the highest transfer speed, Kodak recommends keeping a maximum distance of 10 meters or 33 feet between Bluetooth devices, as they may not work reliably beyond this range.

Bluetooth Security Pin

The printer's bluetooth security pin is 1111. This is entered on the image source and is only needed if the image source requires a security exchange. The printer does not require a security pin.

Printing multiple photos

When the you select a print size smaller than the paper size, this printer automatically lays out multiple photos using the least amount of space, minimizing paper waste when cutting out the photos.

Printing panoramic photos

You can print a panoramic photo on 4 x 12 paper, or two panoramic photos on U.S. letter or A4 paper; some cropping will occur.
