About Your Printer

Thank you for purchasing the KODAK PROFESSIONAL 8657 Printer.

The 8657 Printer is a thermal dye diffusion device with superior printing speed. It contains a 33 MHz MIPS RISC processor and has a resolution of 300 pixels per inch (PPI). Printed images are high-contrast and long lasting, and XtraLife ribbon can be used to protect images from fingerprints.

A number of communication ports are provided on the printer. In addition to these standard ports, the optional KODAK Network Interface Card allows your printer to tie in to networks using Ethernet cabling.
