Introduction
After you have set up your Epson Stylus® CX4200 Series or Epson Stylus® CX4800 Series all-in-one as described on the Start Here sheet, turn here to:
■Load paper
■Make a quick copy of a document or photo
■Print photos stored on a memory card (Epson Stylus CX4800 Series only)
■Print photos directly from your camera (both the Epson Stylus CX4200 Series and Epson Stylus CX4800 Series)
■Get the basic steps for printing from your computer
■Start scanning a document or photo, including restoring a color photo as you scan
■Perform routine maintenance
■Solve simple problems
This book tells you how to do most of these things without ever turning on your computer! Of course your Epson Stylus CX can do lots more when you connect it to your Windows® or Macintosh® computer. For additional instructions, see the on-screen User’s Guide by selecting the icon for it on your desktop.
Please follow these guidelines as you read your Epson Stylus CX instructions:
Warning:
Warnings must be followed carefully to avoid bodily injury.
Caution:
Cautions must be observed to avoid damage to your equipment.
Note:
Notes contain important information about your Epson Stylus CX.
Tip:
Tips contain hints for better copying, scanning, and printing.
Note:
The illustrations in this guide show the Epson Stylus CX4800 Series all-in-one and its software, but the instructions are the same for the Epson Stylus CX4200 Series all-in-one except where noted.
Introduction 3
Loading Paper
Follow the steps here to load paper in your
Epson Stylus CX all-in-one.
1. Open the paper support and output tray, then slide out the extensions.
2. Flip the feeder guard forward. Then slide the left edge guide to the left.
3.Insert the paper, printable side up, against the right edge guide. Always load it short edge first, even for landscape printing.
The printable side is often whiter or brighter than the other side.
Narrow paper
Place paper beneath the tabs
4 Loading Paper
You can load up to 100 sheets of plain paper and up to 20 sheets of photo paper. (See the User’s Guide for capacity guidelines on other paper types.)
Note:
The type of paper you choose affects the way your printout looks, so be sure to select the correct paper for your job. If you are just making a copy or printing a rough draft of an image, plain paper is fine. However, for the best results, you’ll want to use one of Epson’s special ink jet papers designed for your printer. For example, your photos will look great printed on Epson Premium Glossy Photo Paper. See page 25 for more information.
4.Slide the left edge guide against the left edge of the paper (but not too tightly). Then flip the feeder guard back.
5. Make sure the paper thickness lever is set down to the m L position.

Printing From a Memory Card
(Epson Stylus CX4800 Series
Only)
The Epson Stylus CX4800 Series all-in-one lets you print color photos directly from your digital camera’s memory card; just insert it into a memory card slot on the Epson Stylus CX4800 Series and you’re ready to print.
If your digital camera supports DPOF (Digital Print Order Format), you can pre-select the photos you want to print while the card is still in the camera. Then, when you insert the card in the Epson Stylus CX4800 Series, it knows which photos to print and how many copies of each.
See these sections:
■“Compatible Cards and Image Formats” (below)
■“Inserting the Card” on page 13
■“Printing an Index Sheet to Select Photos” on page 14
■“Printing All Photos or DPOF Photos” on page 17
For instructions on copying memory card files between your Epson Stylus CX4800 Series and a computer or other device, see the User’s Guide.

12 Printing From a Memory Card (Epson Stylus CX4800 Series Only)
Inserting the Card
1. Make sure the Epson Stylus CX4800 Series all-in-one is turned on.
Note:
When you print directly from a memory card, it is best if the Epson Stylus CX4800 Series is not connected to your computer (or your computer should be turned off).
2. Open the memory card door.
3.Make sure the memory card access light is off and that no cards are in any of the slots. Then insert your card into the correct slot. (See page 12 for details.)
Insert just one card at a time

Memory card access light
The memory card access light flashes and then stays on.
4.Close the memory card door. Now you can:
■Print an index sheet so you can select which photos to print (page 14)
■Print all the photos on the card (page 17)
■Print photos pre-selected on your camera using DPOF (page 17)
When you want to remove the card, make sure the memory card access light is not flashing, then pull the card straight out of its slot.
Printing From a Memory Card (Epson Stylus CX4800 Series Only) 13
Note:
You can print only in color when printing directly from a memory card; you cannot print in black and white.
Caution:
Do not remove the card or turn off the Epson Stylus CX4800 Series while the memory card access light is flashing; you may lose data on the card.
Printing an Index Sheet to Select Photos
You can print an index sheet (which is like a photographer’s contact or proof sheet) to see small “thumbnail” images of all the pictures on your card. Then you mark the pictures on the index sheet that you want to print, scan the sheet, and let the Epson Stylus CX4800 Series automatically print the selected photos.
Printing the Index Sheet
1.Make sure your Epson Stylus CX4800 Series is not connected to your computer (or your computer is turned off).
2.Load several sheets of letter-size, plain paper. (Use only letter-size paper to print the index sheet.) Up to 30 images are printed on each page, so if there are more than 30 photos on the memory card, you’ll need enough sheets for all the index pages to be printed.
3. Insert the memory card if it is not already in the slot (see page 13).
4. Press the Memory Card button one or more times until the Print Index Sheet light comes on.
5. Make sure Plain Paper and Letter are selected.
14 Printing From a Memory Card (Epson Stylus CX4800 Series Only)
6.Press the x Start Color button. The P On light flashes, and the Epson Stylus CX4800 Series starts printing the index sheet(s). (This may take a few minutes.)
For multiple index sheets, the pages containing the most recent images are printed first. If you want to cancel printing more sheets, press the y Stop button.
Now follow the instructions below to select which photos to print.
Selecting Photos on the Index Sheet
1.Once you have printed the index sheet, use a dark pen or pencil to fill in one of the ovals beneath each photo you want to print to indicate how many copies you want (1, 2, or 3).
OK:
No good:
Make sure just one oval is filled in for each selected photo and mark the sheet carefully; once it has been scanned you will not be able to change your selections.
Note:
If you want one copy of all the photos on the index sheet, fill in the ALL oval at the top of the page.
