Getting Started
Welcome to the KODAK Photo Printer Calibration Application for
WINDOWS, a tool for calibrating KODAK Thermal Printers using
visual or instrumented calibration techniques.
The following KODAK Printer models are supported by the
calibration application:
• KODAK D4000Duplex Photo Printer
• KODAK 8810 Photo Printer
• KODAK Photo Printer 8800/9810
• KODAK 7000/7010/7015 Photo Printer
• KODAK Photo Printer 6800/6850
• KODAK Photo Printer 605
NOTE: Instrumented calibration is not supported with the
KODAK Photo Printer 6800/6850 and the KODAK Photo
Printer 605.
To use the instrumented calibration capability of the application,
you must have an X-RITE i1PRO spectrophotometer and the latest
i1PRO device driver software from X-RITE. If you have an X-Rite
i1Pro device, “Additional Information for Using an X-RITE i1PRO
Device” on page 1-2.
About the Printer Calibration Application
The KODAK Photo Printer Calibration Application (Calibration
Application) lets your Kodak printer produce the best possible
color. Calibration adjusts the response of the printer so that a
specific data input value yields a specific color density output.
The printer is shipped with default factory calibration settings.
You can set up your printer and print right away without having to
calibrate the printer. However, if you are dissatisfied with the color
of your prints, you should calibrate your printer.
1-2 November 2011
Getting Started
System Requirements
You must have the following:
The minimum requirement is the system configuration that
MICROSOFT requires for use with WINDOWS XP or
WINDOWS 7.
NOTE: 64-bit Intel Itanium-based systems are not supported.
The Calibration Application requires:
• a functional USB 2.0 port to communicate with the printer.
NOTE: If your equipment only supports the USB 1.1 protocol, data
communication to the printer is slower and may affect
calibration performance.
• .NET FRAMEWORK 4 from MICROSOFT to be installed on
your computer prior to installing the Calibration Application.
NOTE: If .NET FRAMEWORK 4 is not installed on your system,
the Calibration Application installer provides the
opportunity to download and install it before proceeding
with the installation of the Calibration Application. To
download .NET FRAMEWORK 4, you must be connected
to the internet. If you do not install .NET FRAMEWORK 4
when prompted, the calibration installation will not be
completed.
Additional Information for Using an X-RITE i1PRO Device
The X-RITE i1PRO uses software components that belong to the
X-RITE Corporation. Users should ensure that they have the most
up to date software for their i1PRO devices by contacting X-RITE
Corporation for support.
The X-RITE i1PRO device does not have a sound generator. The
i1PRO uses sound produced by the system board or sound card of
your computer. At the time of the release of the KODAK Photo
Printer Calibration Application, the X-RITE i1PRO device drivers
did not support sound on 64-bit WINDOWS Operating Systems.

If your computer does not have a sound card and/or speakers, or
you are running a 64-bit Operating System, when you are
prompted to 'wait for the beep' during the instrumented
calibration:
1. Wait for the light below the reading probe of the X-RITE i1PRO
device to illuminate.
2. Hold the button for 3 seconds and then begin scanning the
strip on the calibration target.
IMPORTANT: If you try to scan a strip before the lamp has
stabilized, an error appears indicating an incorrect
number of patches were read. If this error occurs,
re-scan the strip after holding the button for 3
seconds prior to starting the scan.
Installing the Calibration Application
IMPORTANT: Before installing the software:
• Have .NET FRAMEWORK 4 installed.
• Have “Administrator” privileges.
If your system has an older version of calibration software
(KODAK Visual Printer Calibration Utility) installed, the installer
configures the Visual Calibration Utility to launch the new
Calibration Application.
1. Go to www.kodak.com/go/ enter your printer model number
For example: www.kodak.com/go/D4000
NOTE: Valid printer models are: D4000, 8810, 8800, 7000,
7010, 7015, 6800, 6850, and 605
2. Select the Standalone Printer tab.
3. Select the Technical Resources link for your printer model and
download the KODAK Photo Printer Calibration Application
for WINDOWS.
4. Locate the file that you downloaded to your hard drive and
double-click the file.
5. When the WinZip Self-Extractor screen appears, browse to a
folder location that is easy to access, such as your computer's
desktop. Click Unzip.
An Installer folder is created containing all of the files.
6. Double-click the Installer folder.
7. Double-click the setup.exe file.
NOTE: The installer checks to see if you have .NET FRAMEWORK
4 installed. If it is not installed, you are prompted to
download it from the MICROSOFT Web site and install it.
When the .NET FRAMEWORK 4 installation is complete,
you return to the Calibration Application installer.

Using the Calibration Application
Calibrate your printer whenever the color of the prints is not what
you expect. You may also want to calibrate the printer after it has
been serviced.
You can calibrate using the visual calibration mode or the
instrumented calibration mode.
NOTE: To use the instrumented calibration mode, you must have:
• an X-RITE i1PRO Device connected to your computer.
• the X-RITE i1PRO software installed on your computer.
IMPORTANT: Never print from another application during a
calibration session. This could leave the printer
calibration in an unknown state.
Using the Visual Calibration Mode
Use the visual calibration mode to calibrate KODAK simplex
(single-sided) or duplex (double-sided) Printers.
Using the Visual
Calibration Mode for
Simplex Printers

make a selection from the drop-down menu to adjust the
highlights.
NOTE: Only do this step if you want to adjust the highlights so
that your prints meet your personal preference. After
adjusting the highlights, check your prints to make sure
that they look the way you want.
6. Click Update Printer Calibration.
The calibration application calculates and downloads a new
calibration table and updates any adjustment you made to the
highlights.
7. Calibration is complete. Click Ye s if you would like to verify
