Using the printer dock with a computer
Printing from a computer
We recommend using Kodak EasyShare software (included) for printing. This software lets you take advantage of a wide range of features, including full color enhancement, red-eye reduction, picture organization, and much more.
If there are no pictures on your computer, use the printer dock to transfer pictures from your camera or memory card before printing (see page 24).
IMPORTANT: Wait until printing is complete before removing paper or the paper tray. Failure to do so can cause paper misfeeds or jams.
Printing with Kodak EasyShare software
1Make sure Kodak EasyShare software is installed (see page 20) and the printer dock is connected to your computer (see page 23).
2Click the My Collection tab.
3Select the pictures you wish to print.
4Click the Print at Home tab.
5Make sure the printer dock is selected as the current printer.
6Change any other settings, such as paper size and print layout, then click Print.
NOTE: The Picture Size button on the printer dock is disabled when printing from a computer. Set printing options using EasyShare software.
See the EasyShare software Help for details.
