 Printing without a computer

Effect of picture layout on number of copies

When printing tagged pictures (see page 12), the number of copies that are printed is
determined by the setting on your camera or device. For example, if three pictures on
your camera are each tagged for printing one copy, and the 4-up option on the printer
dock is selected, three 2 x 3 in. (51 x 76 mm) pictures are printed on one sheet of
paper.
For best results, use your camera’s 3:2 picture size setting to avoid cropping (see your
camera user’s guide).
NOTE: When printing from a PictBridge compatible device (see page 13), picture size and number of copies
are determined by the device’s multi-up and copies settings. Change these settings on your device
before printing. If the picture layout selected on your device does not match any of the sizes on the
printer dock, then the closest picture layout on the printer dock is automatically selected.

Battery safety and handling

CAUTION:
When removing batteries, allow them to cool first; batteries may be
hot.
■ Use only batteries that are approved for this product to avoid risk of explosion.
■ Read and follow all warnings and instructions supplied by the battery
manufacturer.
■ Keep batteries out of the reach of children.
■ Do not allow batteries to touch metal objects, including coins. Otherwise, a battery
may short circuit, discharge energy, become hot, or leak.
■ Do not disassemble, install backward, or expose batteries to liquid, moisture, fire,
or extreme temperature.
■ Replace all batteries of a set at the same time. Do not mix new batteries with used
ones. Do not mix rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries. Do not mix lithium,
Ni-MH, and Ni-Cd batteries together. Do not mix batteries of different chemistry
types, grades, or brands. Failure to observe this precaution may cause leakage.
■ Remove batteries when the product is stored for an extended period of time. In the
unlikely event that battery fluid leaks inside the product, contact your local Kodak
Customer Service representative.
■ In the unlikely event that battery fluid leaks onto your skin, wash immediately with
water and contact your local health provider. For additional health-related
information, contact your local Kodak Customer Service representative.

www.kodak.com/go/support 59
Appendix

Extending battery life

■ Limit the following activities that quickly deplete battery power:
– Reviewing your pictures on the camera screen
– Using the camera screen as a viewfinder
– Excessive use of the flash
■ Dirt on the battery contacts can affect battery life. Wipe the contacts with a clean,
dry cloth before loading batteries in the camera.
■ Battery performance is reduced at temperatures below 5° C (41° F). When using
your camera in cold weather, carry spare batteries and keep them warm. Do not
discard cold batteries that do not work; when they return to room temperature,
they may be usable.
■ If you are getting fewer than 20 pictures per charge with your Kodak Ni-MH
rechargeable digital camera battery, (and if none of the tips above seem to help),
consider refreshing the battery (see page 9) or replacing it.
For more information on batteries, see your camera user’s guide, or visit
www.kodak.com/go/batterytypes.
