To enable Bluetooth wireless connectivity, plug the Kodak Bluetooth adapter into the USB port located on the front panel of your printer.

Note: Before you can transmit photos to your printer from a Bluetooth–enabled device, you must first “pair” the printer and the device so that they can communicate. This “pairing” is performed from your device’s interface. Review the instructions for pairing that came with you Bluetooth–enabled device, as needed.

When the device is searching for other Bluetooth enabled devices to pair with, if your printer is within range of the device (see “Range” below), your printer will appear in the list, with a name starting with ESP. (Your device may allow you to rename it, as appropriate.)

If your device prompts you for the printer’s personal identification number (PIN) to authenticate and initiate the connection, enter 1111.

Bluetooth devices do not use a Print command. You must use the device’s Send functionality to transmit an image stored on it to the All–in–One printer. Only one file can be sent from the device at a time. Once received, your printer will print the image automatically using the default settings.

Range

When the device and the printer are connected, you can send photos from your Bluetooth device to the printer. Your printer supports connectivity to one Bluetooth device at a time.

For the highest transfer speed, Kodak recommends keeping a maximum distance of 10 meters (32.8 feet) between Bluetooth devices, as they may not work reliably beyond this range.

Printing multiple photos

When you select a print size that is smaller than the paper size, this printer automatically lays out multiple photos using the least amount of space, minimizing paper waste when separating the photos.

Printing panoramic photos

You can print a panoramic photo on 4 x 12 paper, or two panoramic photos on U.S. letter or A4 paper; some cropping will occur.
