2 Printer Overview
Using the printer menus
Use the menus on the LCD screen to select stand-alone tasks (that is, tasks that can be performed without your computer), such as copying documents or photos; or printing photos stored on memory cards, USB drives, Kodak Bluetooth adapter ("dongle"), or digital cameras plugged into the printer; or sending a fax.
Using the appropriate menu, you can also initiate tasks that will be completed on a computer connected to the printer, such as transferring photos from a compatible device connected to the printer (such as a memory card, digital camera, or USB drive) to the computer.
Your printer updates the content of the menu dynamically, according to the tasks you perform.
