Loading Paper

Epson offers a wide variety of papers that let you customize your projects and achieve
professional results. This chapter gives you guidelines on:

■ “Loading Paper in the Sheet Feeder” below

■ “Storing Your Photos” on page 10

Loading Paper in the Sheet Feeder

1. Open the paper support and raise the extension.

2. Place your paper short edge first against the right edge of the feeder, under the tab, with
the printable (whiter or glossier) side up. If you are loading multiple sheets, fan the stack
of paper before loading it to prevent paper jams.

Note: Don’t load paper above the arrow mark inside the left edge guide. Some special
papers can be loaded only one sheet at a time. See your on-screen User’s Guide for
details.

3. Slide the left edge guide against the paper. Make sure it is snug, but not so tight that the
paper is bent. (For letter-size paper, you may not need to move the edge guide over.)

Letter 4 × 6

9

4. Open the output tray and pull out the extension.

You should also follow these guidelines:

■ Always load the short edge first, even when you’re printing landscape-oriented pictures.

■ When using special papers, check the paper package for additional instructions. Some

papers require using a support sheet included in the package.

Note: Always keep unused paper in the original package and store it flat to prevent curling.

For instructions on loading special papers and envelopes in the printer, see your on-screen
User’s Guide.

Storing Your Photos

With proper care, photographs from your Epson Stylus Photo R340 will last for many years.
The special Epson inks designed for your printer are formulated to achieve improved
lightfastness when used with Epson papers for prints that are properly displayed or stored.

As with traditional photos, proper care will minimize color changes and lengthen display life:

■ For display, Epson recommends that prints be framed under glass or a protective plastic

sleeve to protect them from atmospheric contaminants like humidity, cigarette smoke,
and high levels of ozone.

■ As with all photographs, keep your prints away from high temperatures and humidity and

out of direct sunlight.

■ For proper storage, Epson recommends that you keep prints in a photo album or plastic

photo storage box in acid-free, archival sleeves commonly available from most camera
stores.

Be sure to follow any other storage and display instructions included in the paper package.

Accessing Photos

Follow the instructions in these sections to access your photos:

■ “Inserting Memory Cards” below

■ “Connecting External Devices” on page 12

■ “Viewing a Slide Show of Your Photos” on page 15

■ “Copying Photos to Your Computer” on page 15

Inserting Memory Cards

1. Press the P power button to turn on your Epson Stylus Photo R340.

2. Open the memory card door.

3. Insert the memory card into one of the three slots, as shown below.

CompactFlash or

After a moment, the printer reads and counts the number of images on your card. When
it’s done, your images are available for printing (see page 17).

Removing Memory Cards

If your printer is connected to your computer, see page 16 for instructions on removing your
memory card.

Otherwise, make sure the card light is not flashing, then pull the card straight out of the slot.

Card light

Caution: Do not eject a card while the card light is flashing or without performing the steps
described below, or you may lose data on the card. Be sure all cards have been removed
before unplugging the USB cable.

Connecting External Devices

If you have one of the following devices, you can connect it directly to your printer using a
USB cable:

■ Digital camera with PictBridge

■ USB thumb drives (see http://support.epson.com for a list of compatible drives)

■ USB CD/DVD burners and drives (see http://support.epson.com for a list of compatible

drives)

■ 100 or 250MB Iomega Zip drive, AC or USB powered

■ Memory cards with a commercially available USB adapter (such as the MicroTech

Note: Epson cannot guarantee the compatibility of any cameras or drives. If you’re not sure
about your camera or drive, you can try connecting it. If it’s not compatible, you’ll see a screen
saying that the connected device cannot be used.

or USB DP (USB Direct Print™) support

™

Tip: When you connect a CD drive, you can also print photos from Picture CDs that you get
from your photo lab.

When you connect a digital camera or storage device, the printer treats it like a memory card.
Follow these steps to connect it:

1. Remove any memory cards from the printer.

If you leave a card in the printer, images will be read from the card instead of your camera
or storage device.

2. Connect the USB cable from your camera or storage device to the

EXT I/F USB port on

the front of the printer. Some digital cameras require a special USB cable; if so, be sure to
use the one that came with the camera.

3. Turn on the printer and your camera or storage device.

After a moment, the printer reads and counts the number of images. When it’s done, your
images are available for printing (see page 17).

Note: If you used the Stylus Photo R340 to back up your images on a Zip disk, CD, or another
storage device (see page 14), they’re stored in folders (001, 002, etc.). Use the u and d
buttons on the printer’s control panel to highlight the folder you want to open, then press
to open it.

Connecting External Devices 13

Saving Your Photos to an External Device

If you don’t have a computer, you can save photos that are on your camera’s memory card to
an external device that you connect directly to your printer. This lets you delete the images on
your memory card and reuse it without losing your original photos. Follow the steps below to
save your photos to a Zip disk, CD-R, DVD-R, or thumb drive.

Note: Epson cannot guarantee the compatibility of any cameras or drives. If you’re not sure
about your camera or drive, you can try connecting it. If it’s not compatible, you’ll see a screen
saying that the connected device cannot be used.

1. Make sure the printer is turned on and the memory card you want to back up is inserted
in the printer.

2. If the printer is connected to your computer, unplug the USB cable that connects the
printer to your computer (otherwise files on the memory card may be copied to your
computer).

3. If necessary, make sure your drive is plugged in and turned on. Then connect a USB cable
from your drive to the

EXT. I/F USB port on the front of the printer (see page 12).
