Picture Print Smudged 
Probable Cause 
Fingerprints may be on glossy side of paper.  
Corrective Action 
Handle paper by the edges. 
Picture Will Not Print 
A selected picture does not print. 
•  The image file may be corrupt. Review the picture on the camera or computer and delete, if 
necessary. 
•  The image file may not be JPEG format. The Kodak printer can print only JPEG files in stand-
alone mode. Connect to a computer and use software to print other image formats. 
Poor Print Quality 
•  Low resolution image file. 
•  Align the printhead (see 
Alignment). 
•  Perform a nozzle check with the Home Center software. 
•  Clean the printhead (see Cleaning the Printhead). If the printhead is clogged, the printouts 
should begin to improve with two or three cleanings. Repeat the cleaning cycle until the 
printout stops improving. 
•  If the problem still persists, you may need to replace the printhead.
