Using Your Stylus CX6600

You can use your Epson Stylus® CX6600 to make color or black-and-white copies without turning on your computer. All you have to do is place your original on the scanner glass and press a button.

You can also print photos directly from your digital camera’s memory card—just insert the card, select the settings you want to use, and print. You don’t have to be connected to a computer. Your CX6600 lets you share images in other ways, too— by scanning to a memory card, or by copying images to and from your computer.

To set up your CX6600 and install its software, see the Start Here sheet.

For instructions on printing and scanning from your computer, see your on-screen Reference Guide. An icon for the CX6600 Reference Guide is automatically placed on your desktop when you install the software.

Please follow these guidelines throughout:

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 CX6600.

Tip:

Tips contain hints for better copying, scanning, and printing.

Using the Security Lock

If you want to prevent unauthorized use of your CX6600, you can activate its security lock feature. The security lock requires you to enter a PIN (Personal Identification Number) whenever you turn on the CX6600. If you forget your PIN code, you can still regain access to your CX6600 (see page 8).

To enable the security lock, you must first run the Security Lock program on a computer connected to the CX6600. To set up your CX6600 and install its software, see the Start Here sheet.
