Getting Started
Welcome to the User’s Guide for the KODAK 305 Photo Printer
Driver for MICROSOFT WINDOWS Operating Systems. The
printer driver provides access to the printer features.
About the Printer Driver
With the 305 Printer Driver, you can access the printer specific
features from your software applications. For example, your
application determines the page breaks, font selection, and page
setup for your print job. The printer driver translates this
information into a printer ready output and sends the print job to
the printer. The printer driver gives you additional printing options
that may not be available from your software application.
Features of the Printer Driver
The printer driver provides the following printing options that may
not be available directly from your software application:
• Color Management—You can make prints using the default
color settings, then adjust the color, brightness, contrast, and
saturation.
• Layout—Choose layout options such as orientation, number
of copies, sharpening, and scaling.
• Print Speed—Choose from a standard print speed to ultra fine
for a higher print quality.
