Finding a Location for the Printer Dock Chapter 1 Allow 5 inches (12.7 cm) clearance on all sides of the printer dock. Place the printer dock on a flat, clean, dust- free surface, out of direct sunlight. Make sure airflow around the top and back is not blocked.
Installing the Camera Insert The printer dock comes with a universal camera insert installed, which is used to fit the camera to the printer dock. The universal insert is used with most cameras. If your camera comes with a custom insert, use that one instead of the universal insert.
Connecting the Power CAUTION: Use only the AC adapter and power cord included with the printer dock. Other adapters and cords can damage your camera, printer dock, or computer. IMPORTANT: Remove your camera from the printer dock when you are connecting power. Chapter 1 Connect the AC power cord to the adapter, then to the back of the printer dock.

To purchase a color cartridge, photo paper kit, and other accessories, see a retail dealer of Kodak products or visit printerdock.
Handling and Storing the Paper Chapter 1 To avoid fingerprints, handle the paper by the edges or by the perforated tabs. Do not touch the glossy side of the paper. Store the paper away from dirt, debris, and direct sunlight. When not in use, place the protective cap on the other end of the paper tray to prevent dirt and dust from getting on the paper.
