Operating Procedures

Handling and Storing the Paper

Follow the instructions included with the paper for storing and handling the paper properly.

IMPORTANT: Avoid storing paper in low humidity conditions.

Storing Paper by Using the Soft Shutdown Feature

The Soft Shutdown feature (see “Soft Shutdown” on page 2-8) causes the rollers to automatically reverse to rewind the lead edge of the paper to the first metering roller during the soft shutdown process.

About Printing

A print job is not printed until it is completely downloaded to the printer.

Print jobs are printed in the order they are received.

If multiple copies of a print job are requested, they are positioned next to each other down the length of the roll, regardless of the width of the image.

It takes the same amount of time to print (expose the paper) a length of 6.5 inches as it does to print 33 inches.

Image Size

The minimum image length is 6.5 inches (1625 pixels). White space will automatically be added to images smaller than 6.5 inches to increase the image size to this minimum.

The maximum image length is approximately 33 inches (8248 pixels).

Buffered and Unbuffered Jobs (or Deferred and

Immediate)

Jobs can be stored in memory when downloaded from the host until enough jobs are downloaded to maximize the printing that occurs during the print cycle.

Most host applications have an option to indicate whether to print the job as soon as it completes downloading to the printer or to wait until the printer has a full buffer to print.

If the print job is sent down to the printer with the Unbuffered/Immediate option, the job will be printed as soon as it completes downloading to the printer. Regardless of the number of (or size of) the jobs in the printer waiting to print, jobs sent down with this option will be printed separately.

Another remarkable aspect of the Kodak 20R is its straightforward operational interface, which encourages users to focus on composition rather than overwhelming technical settings. The intuitive controls allow for quick adjustments, promoting a more fluid photography experience. Additionally, the camera is constructed with durable materials, ensuring longevity and reliability in diverse shooting environments.

The Kodak 20R's shutter mechanism is engineered for precision, providing a robust performance that minimizes vibrations. This feature is critical for achieving sharp images, particularly at slower shutter speeds or with longer focal lengths.
