KODAK EASYSHARE 5100 SERIES

There should be a kind of a setting somewhere where you can choose contrast/brightness, change that.

Here is a link to the manual:

Kodak 5100 Manual

Go to page 47. Instructions with pictures are given clearly. That is much easier than me trying to talk you through it.

Make sure you do it with the printer ON. It will then calibrate after installation.

Thanks for using Fixya.

Clean the print head then print a demo sheet.

1. Verify that inkjet paper is loaded in the paper trays.
2. On your desktop, start the KODAK All-in-One Home Center, then select the Help [?] icon.
3. From the Help menu, select Maintenance, then select Print head Cleaning. The On/Off light flashes green during the cleaning procedure.
4. When the On/Off light glows a steady green, press Photo and Copy simultaneously to print a demo sheet.

If the Demo print is bad- IE: no black, blurry print etc., then you may need to replace the print head:

This seems to be a common problem on the 5100

Contact Kodak Support who will ask you to re-insert cartridge, Print Clean, Calibrate and run print test (press Photo & Copy together) then tell you that you need a new Print Cradle! Which they will supply FREE of Charge by overnight carrier.

Seems to be a common fault with Kodak EasyShare 5100/5300

Contact Kodak Support and go though the following tests:

Remove and re-seat Printer Cartridge(s) - Done

Clean Printhead - Done

Calibrate Printer - Test Sheet Not Complete!

Run Computer Colour Test - Done

They will then send you a new Print Head.

You might have to reformat your hard drive as there is something in your OS that is hindering the printing.
