Error launching the KODAK Photo Printer Calibration Utility
-----------------------------------------------------------
The KODAK Photo Printer Calibration Utility can be launched from the
Printer Calibration tab of the driver's properties. If the following
error message is displayed, the KODAK Photo Printer Calibration Utility
must be installed in order to perform printer calibration.

  "The KODAK Photo Printer Calibration Utility could not be launched.
   Please install the calibration utility. See the printer's User Guide
   for more information."

The KODAK Photo Printer Calibration Utility can be installed from the
same CD that came with the printer having the driver installer.


Image Color Management (ICM) control becomes disabled
-----------------------------------------------------
Clicking on Cancel from the Advanced dialog and then re-entering this
dialog will display the ICM controls as being disabled (even though you
can still interact with them).


Loss of communication if the USB cable is disconnected
------------------------------------------------------
If the USB cable is disconnected during printing, the printer may not
recover without intervention.

Allow the printer to complete any prints it is currently printing before
attempting to re-connect the USB cable.

Once the printer has finished printing, re-connect the USB cable. If the
printer does not resume printing within several seconds (and there are
print jobs in the queue), the printer must be turned off and then turned
back on. Once the printer has initialized, it should resume printing any
jobs remaining in the printer queue.

If a multi-page document was in the process of being sent to the printer
when the USB cable was disconnected, the entire document (all pages)
will be reprinted when printing is resumed. This may result in
some duplicate pages being printed.

Changing the picture used in the 'Adjust Color' preview windows
---------------------------------------------------------------
If the picture used in the 'Adjust Color' preview window does not
suit your needs, you can change it to one which is more appropriate.
The picture must be a valid BMP file, preferably less than 500KB.
Optimally the picture should be 168 x 183 pixels (width x height)
although the software will scale the picture to use as much of the
window as possible.

There are two ways to change the default picture.

  Option 1:
     Rename your picture to EKTP70XX_preview.bmp and copy it into
     the appropriate folder as shown below. Unless you save a copy
     of the file this operation will overwrite the original picture.

     On 32-bit operating systems, copy to the following folder
     ("windows folder" is typically named "Windows"):
     
          c:\"windows folder"\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\3


     On 64-bit operating systems, copy to the following folder
     ("windows folder" is typically named "Windows"):
     
          c:\"windows folder"\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3



  Option 2:
     Copy your BMP file (with any file name you choose) into
     the appropriate folder as shown below.

     On 32-bit operating systems, copy to the following folder
     ("windows folder" is typically named "Windows"):
     
          c:\"windows folder"\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\3


     On 64-bit operating systems, copy to the following folder
     ("windows folder" is typically named "Windows"):
     
          c:\"windows folder"\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3

     
     Edit EKTP70XX.ini in the same folder so that the "File"
     keyword in the "Image Preview" section points to your file
     name. Only include the actual file name and not the path.
