1Getting started
Finding a location for your printer dock
■Place the printer dock on a flat, clean, dust-free surface, in a dry location, and out
of direct sunlight.
■Allow at least 5 in. ( 2.7 cm) clearance from the
back of the printer dock for paper travel.
■For proper ventilation, make sure the top and back
of the printer dock are not blocked.
■When connecting power or USB cables, keep the
cables clear of the paper path to the front and rear
of the printer dock.
■Avoid areas where ventilation ducts, open doors, or frequent passersby might
expose the printer dock and paper to high levels of dust and debris. Airborne dirt
particles can affect picture quality.
■Allow enough space on all sides of the printer dock to let you connect and
disconnect cables, change the cartridge, and add paper.
Handling and storing the cartridge and paper
Cartridge
■Keep cartridges out of the reach of children.
■For best quality prints, store the cartridge in a location where the temperature does
not exceed 85°F (30°C).
■To avoid getting fingerprints on the ribbon, handle the cartridge by the spool ends.
■Keep the cartridge away from direct sunlight and out of high-temperature
environments (such as a vehicle parked in the sun).

and door to keep out dust and debris. Store paper
flat.
■Keep the paper away from direct sunlight and out of high-temperature
environments (such as a vehicle parked in the sun).
Attaching the custom camera insert
IMPORTANT: Use the custom insert that came with your digital camera to dock the
camera. Depending on your camera connector, you may need the Kodak
dock adapter kit D 26. See the instructions included with the dock adapter.
