FAQs
What type of paper and ink does the Kodak Dock Plus use?
It uses Kodak 4PASS photo paper and an all-in-one dye-sublimation cartridge that includes both the ink ribbons and paper, specifically designed for this printer.
Can I print photos larger than 4x6 inches?
No, the Kodak Dock Plus 4PASS Photo Printer is designed to print only 4x6 inch (10x15 cm) photos.
Is the printer battery-powered, or does it need to be plugged in?
The Kodak Dock Plus requires a direct power connection to a wall outlet; it does not have an internal battery for portable use.
Are the prints durable and waterproof?
Yes, thanks to the dye-sublimation printing process, the photos produced are resistant to water, fingerprints, and UV fading, making them highly durable.
Do I need the Kodak Photo Printer app to use this device?
While the app offers enhanced features and ease of use, the printer also supports direct printing from compatible devices without necessarily going through a home network or specific app features for basic printing.
How many prints can I get from one cartridge?
The number of prints per cartridge varies by product variant (e.g., 40, 80, or 120 print packs). Check the packaging of your specific Kodak 4PASS cartridge for details.
Can I print from a computer?
The primary design focuses on mobile device compatibility via Wi-Fi and direct printing. While some users might find workarounds, direct printing from a computer is generally not a standard feature advertised for this specific model.
Troubleshooting
Printer not turning on.
Verify that the power adapter is securely connected to both the printer and a working wall outlet. Try plugging the printer into a different outlet.
Cannot connect to Wi-Fi.
Ensure the printer is within range of your Wi-Fi router. Double-check the Wi-Fi password entered in the Kodak app. Restart both the printer and your mobile device, then try connecting again. For direct printing, ensure Wi-Fi Direct is enabled on your device.
Prints are faded, streaky, or have incorrect colors.
Check if the ink cartridge needs replacement. The Kodak 4PASS cartridge is all-in-one; if the ink is low, the paper is also nearly depleted. Ensure the photo paper is correctly loaded, not old or damaged, and is genuine Kodak 4PASS paper.
Paper jam.
Gently open the paper output tray or cartridge cover and carefully remove any jammed paper or debris. Ensure you are using the correct paper type and it is loaded properly without being bent or torn.
App not recognizing the printer.
Ensure the printer is powered on and your mobile device's Wi-Fi is enabled and connected to the printer's network (or direct connection). Close and reopen the Kodak Photo Printer app, or reinstall it if the problem persists. Check for app updates.
