Maintenance 
Ink Cartridges 
Your Kodak printer uses separate black and color ink cartridges. The ink levels show on the control 
panel and in the printer software. When replacing, use genuine Kodak ink cartridges to ensure best 
results and avoid printhead damage not covered under warranty. 
Checking Ink Levels 
You can easily check the ink levels to determine how soon you might need to replace an ink 
cartridge. The control panel has two ink level indicators under the 
On/Off button, one for the black 
ink cartridge and one for the color ink cartridge. These indicators blink very slowly when ink levels 
are low, and fast when the ink cartridge should be replaced or need attention. 
Replacing Ink Cartridges 
Important  For the best quality prints, store ink cartridges in a location where the temperature 
does not exceed 85°F (30°C). 
 
Warning  Use genuine Kodak ink cartridges to ensure best results and avoid 
printhead damage not covered under warranty. Third-party ink cartridges may not 
contain the necessary Smart Chip information to notify you before the ink cartridge is 
empty. 
1  Make sure the printer is on. 
2  Open the printer access door by lifting from the front center of the unit. The printhead moves to 
a center position. The ink tanks are located in the printhead.

Note  You can take your used ink cartridges to most office supply or electronics stores for safe 
disposal.
