SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
- WARNING: To avoid creating a fire hazard, make sure to only connect your KODAK STEP TOUCH camera to a power supply whose output is less than 15W, in compliance with the PS1 requirements defined in the IEC/EN/ UL 62368 standards.

If the camera is turned off, the LCD will automatically turn on and display the battery charging status for a few seconds and then turn off. You can check the charging status at any time by tapping the screen.
It takes approximately 2 hours to fully charge the battery. Under normal conditions, the charge lasts for about 25 prints.

Auto Shutoff
The camera will automatically turn itself off after being idle for 5 minutes (the default time) to conserve battery power.

Also, pressing the shutter button will bring you back to the live viewfinder whenever you’re in a different screen.
Touchscreen LCD Viewfinder
Once you’ve set up your camera (See “First-Time Setup,” section 6), you’ll be taken to the live viewfinder and main screen. From here you’ll be able to take photos and videos, access settings, and view the gallery. You can get back to this screen directly from any screen on the camera by pressing the shutter button. Tap anywhere on the viewfinder (except on the icons) to hide/show icons. The icons will also disappear if no action is taken after three (3) seconds.
ABOUT THE PRINTER
The built-in printer gives you high-quality, 2” x 3” full-color photos printed on special adhesive-backed paper that you can share on the spot. You can choose to print your photos right after taking them, or later. (See section 8 for details)
Loading Photo Printing Paper
This camera uses only KODAK Photo Paper using ZINK® Zero Ink® Technology.
- Open the paper compartment by sliding the latch located on the left side of the LCD screen. The screen will pop up.
- Insert the entire pack of paper, making sure the blue ZINK® calibration sheet is on the bottom, barcode facing down. Do not throw away the blue calibration sheet before the camera has been calibrated.
- Close the paper compartment.
- The blue ZINK® calibration sheet will be detected and ejected after you close the paper compartment door once the camera is on, or after you take your first picture.

disappear once the problem is resolved and you press “OK.”
- YOUR DOOR LATCH IS NOT FULLY CLOSED — PLEASE LOCK INTO PLACE
The paper compartment door is open or the latch isn’t fully engaged. - YOU ARE OUT OF PAPER — PLEASE ADD MORE PAPER TO PRINT

To fix the jam, open the paper compartment door and gently remove the jammed paper from the camera. Reload paper.

print command. Press the printer icon again. - UNRECOGNIZED PRINTER PAPER — KODAK STEP Touch ACCEPTS ZINK PAPER ONLY
This message will display if the paper in the camera is not KODAK ZINK Photo Paper or if the paper is not loaded
properly. Using the wrong paper in the camera can damage it. - PRINTER ERROR — PLEASE TRY AGAIN
Try to start the print sequence again. If this does not work, turn the camera off and then on again in a few seconds. - PAPER FEED ERROR — PLEASE RELOAD PAPER

and then reload the paper. - BLUETOOTH CONNECTION LOST

Bluetooth connection on both devices and move the camera closer to your phone. You will know if Bluetooth is on and
