FAQ

Q Why are the colors on my prints coming out wrong?

A To ensure color accuracy, your camera’s printer must be properly calibrated by the Blue Calibration Sheet inserted with the barcode facing down. This sheet has a unique barcode specific to each paper pack, so make sure not to mix paper from different packs together.

Q How do I charge my camera?

A To charge the battery in your camera, you will have to plug a micro USB cable (not included) into any wall adapter rated at 1 amp (not included). Using a computer or laptop to charge the camera is not recommended because it will significantly increase the charging time.

Q What do I do if the paper is stuck?

A Turn the printer off and on again and the printer will eject the paper. Do not try to pull out the paper by hand.

Q Why are my prints coming out blank?

A Please be sure that the KODAK ZINK Photo Paper pack is properly inserted in the camera. When loading the paper, the glossy side should be facing up. Please review the paper loading instructions included in this guide.

Q How many sheets can I put in at once?

A You can load one 10-pack of KODAK ZINK Photo Paper at one time.

Q Why are my pictures not centered?

A The frame marks on the view finder are set to a focus target 6 feet away. If you are taking pictures less than 6 feet from your target, the frame marks may not line up with the photo.

Q Why are my pictures coming out with lines?

A Make sure that your paper is properly inserted and that nothing is obstructing the exit slot where the pictures are dispensed. Also use the Blue Calibration Sheet with every paper pack to clean the print-heads. Do not aggressively shake your camera; it may interfere with the printing process.

Q What memory cards can be used with my camera?

A The KODAK PRINTOMATIC camera accepts microSD™ cards and flash memory cards from all brands.

Q Is a microSD™ card required for this camera?

A A microSD™ card is not required in order to use the camera. If you want to save your photos to your computer you will need to have a microSD™ or comparable memory card in your camera while you take your pictures.

Q Is any type of paper compatible with this camera?

A The KODAK PRINTOMATIC camera was designed to work only with KODAK ZINK Photo Paper. Other papers may be incompatible with this camera.

Q How do I turn on the flash for my camera?

A Your camera is equipped with a light sensor that will automatically turn on the flash in low light settings.

Q Can you choose when to print or does the camera print automatically?

A Your KODAK PRINTOMATIC camera prints automatically. Every picture taken will print after a few seconds.

Q Does the camera’s printer print pictures from other devices?
