Loading the paper
1Remove the paper tray from the photo printer if installed (see page 6).
2Slide the paper tray cover back until it "clicks" into 
place, about 1.25 in. (3 cm), then lift up on the end 
of the paper tray cover.
3Carefully "fan" the paper to keep the sheets from 
sticking together.
IMPORTANT: 
Do not load more than 25 sheets of paper. 
Use the upper limit line inside the paper 
tray as a guide to prevent overloading. 
Do not load paper that is missing 
perforated tabs. To avoid fingerprints, do 
not touch the glossy side of the paper.
4Load the paper into the paper tray, with the Kodak 
logo side facing down.
5Close the paper tray cover.
Purchase Kodak color cartridge & paper kits and other accessories at a retailer of

Setting the picture quality on your digital camera
Before taking pictures, change the picture quality 
setting (or resolution) on your digital camera to 
3:2  . This ensures that the pictures you 
take are proportional to the photo printer paper, 
preventing unwanted cropping of your pictures.
See your camera user’s guide for more information.

2Printing from a PictBridge 
compatible camera
The Kodak EasyShare photo printer 300 offers PictBridge compatibility, which lets you 
print from your Kodak EasyShare digital camera or any PictBridge compatible camera 
or device.
1Take pictures with your camera (see your camera user’s guide).
2Connect your PictBridge compatible camera to the 
photo printer using the USB cable for your camera. 
Plug one end of the cable into the camera and the 
other into the USB device connector located on the 
side of the photo printer.
NOTE:  If the PictBridge compatible camera is already plugged in but 
the connection is no longer available, disconnect then 
reconnect the USB cable to re-establish the connection.
3Use your digital camera to review pictures, choose 
printing options, and print. See your camera user’s 
guide for details.
The On/Off button blinks while printing. The paper 
cycles four times during the printing process before the 
finished print is ejected. The first three passes apply 
layers of yellow, magenta, and cyan colors to the print, 
and the fourth pass applies the Kodak XtraLife
TM 
coating that protects and preserves the image.
IMPORTANT: Wait until printing is complete before removing paper, the paper tray, or the 
camera. Failure to do so can cause paper misfeeds or jams.

To cancel printing, press and hold the On/Off button for two seconds.
