Printer Error Messages

The following messages appear on the printer’s OCP when an equipment problem occurs:

Error Messages–indicate an error condition that needs to be corrected or resolved before you can resume operating the equipment.

(For example: “OUT OF PAPER”, “SUPPLY DOOR OPEN”)

Some error conditions may be easily corrected and some may require the attention of a high level operator or even a service person.

Miscellaneous Error Messages–indicates a problem with the printer has occurred that may or may not require you to call your service person.

More than one problem can occur at a time, however, only the message for the first error will appear.

Manual or Automatic Reinitialization

The printer will reinitialize when you correct the problem that caused the error code and press the Start key on the OCP within 30 seconds after closing the printer door(s).

If you do not press the Start key within 30 seconds after closing the printer door(s), the error message will disappear and the printer will automatically reinitialize when you begin to print.

The reinitialization process includes:

Mechanical Self Check— A self-check of all mechanical systems in the printer occurs.

Paper Check— A cut is made across the lead edge of the paper roll to ensure a clean straight cut. The paper is then repositioned in the shoe.

20R specifications

The Kodak 20R is a notable addition to the realm of portable photographic technology, making it a favorite among amateur and professional photographers alike. Introduced during a period of resurgence in film photography, the Kodak 20R exemplifies the perfect blend of classic design and innovative features aimed at enhancing user experience and image quality.

At its core, the Kodak 20R employs a reliable 35mm film format, a staple in the industry that ensures compatibility with a wide range of lenses and accessories. This format not only provides excellent resolution but also allows for a significant dynamic range, making it suitable for various lighting conditions. The camera’s compact design makes it easy to carry, making it the perfect companion for travel, street photography, and candid shots.

One of the standout features of the Kodak 20R is its integrated light meter, which aids in achieving optimal exposure. The meter is designed to read various lighting conditions accurately, ensuring that images captured have the right balance of highlights and shadows. This eliminates the guesswork commonly associated with manual settings, catering to both novices and seasoned photographers.

The camera also boasts a fixed lens with a versatile focal length, which is well-suited for a variety of photography styles. Its fast maximum aperture allows for improved low-light performance and the ability to achieve a pleasing bokeh effect, helping subjects stand out against beautifully blurred backgrounds.

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.

Overall, the Kodak 20R encapsulates a return to form in film photography, offering essential features that appeal to a broad audience. With its combination of vintage charm and modern functionality, it remains a cherished tool for anyone looking to immerse themselves in the art of photography.
