Calibrating the Printer  
The KODAK Photo Printer Visual Calibration Utility (Calibration Utility) lets  
your Kodak printer produce the best possible color response. 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 values. 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, follow the steps  
in this chapter to calibrate your printer.  
Installing the Calibration Utility  
IMPORTANT: You must have the printer driver installed to use the  
Calibration Utility.  
1. Download the KODAK Photo Printer Visual Calibration Utility from the  
Support Page for your printer. Visit www.kodak.com.  
2. Double-click the installer file.  
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the calibration utility.
