Welcome!

Your Epson Stylus® Photo R800 gives you fast, photo-quality, archival prints on a wide variety of glossy and matte papers.

Your outstanding printouts result from these advanced features:

■ Eight individually-replaceable Epson

5760 × 1440 dpi (dots per inch).

■ Large gamut, pigment-based, Epson UltraChrome Hi-Gloss

™

inks and

compatible papers deliver brilliant, long-lasting, water-resistant prints.

■ Unique gloss optimizer cartridge provides a uniform gloss coat on glossy papers so

your prints look like they came from a photo lab

■ Ink droplets as small as 1.5 picoliters give you finer detail and beautiful highlights.

■ Photo Black and Matte Black ink cartridges for optimum print density on many

types of paper without switching cartridges.

■ Versatile paper handling lets you create BorderFree,

frame-ready prints in

popular photo sizes, such as 4 × 6, 5 × 7, and 8 × 10.

■ Direct printing on the surface of ink-jet printable CDs and DVDs for expressive

disc labels.

■ Roll paper feeder enables continuous printing of multiple photos or panoramics.

■ Automatic print head cleaning and alignment utilities analyze your print quality

and improve it quickly and easily.

■ Fast connections through the Hi-Speed USB 2.0 and IEEE 1394

(FireWire®) ports

Note: To achieve the highest USB speed, your computer must also have a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 port or card connected to the printer with a Hi-Speed USB

2.0 cable.

PRINT Image Matching and Exif Print

Your Epson Stylus Photo R800 printer supports these innovative digital image formats to give you the best photo prints possible:

■ PRINT Image Matching

■ Exif Print

(both P.I.M. and P.I.M. II)

About PRINT Image Matching

Epson’s revolutionary PRINT Image Matching (P.I.M.) technology lets your digital camera and printer work together automatically to produce the best prints possible. Digital camera manufacturers that support PRINT Image Matching include Epson, Casio,® Konica,® Kyocera,® Minolta,® Nikon,® Olympus,® Pentax,® Ricoh,® Sanyo,® Sony,® and Toshiba.® Check with your camera’s manufacturer or visit www.printimagematching.com to find out if PRINT Image Matching technology is included with your camera.

With PRINT Image Matching, the digital camera manufacturer can set specific printing options for each camera model. These options include:

■ contrast, sharpness, and brightness

■ gamma level, color space, color saturation, and noise reduction

■ shadow point, highlight point, and color balance

The camera saves this information in each JPEG or TIFF image file. Your printer— along with the P.I.M. II Plug-in for Adobe® Photoshop® (included with your printer)—uses the information to ensure the most accurate image reproduction.

But don’t worry if your camera doesn’t include PRINT Image Matching technology—your Epson Stylus Photo R800 gives great photo printing results, just without the adjustments P.I.M.-enabled cameras may add.

8 Welcome!

About Exif Print

The Exif (Exchangeable Image File) Print format includes information about your digital camera settings in JPEG/TIFF files so your printer and application can use them to create accurate print settings. Most digital cameras store Exif Print information such as shutter speed, metering, flash, and exposure settings, resolution, and lens use in the JPEG/TIFF image file. Your printer—along with the P.I.M. II Plug-in for Adobe Photoshop—uses the information to ensure the most accurate image reproduction.

About Your Software

Your printer CD-ROM includes all the software you need for printing. See the Start Here sheet for installation instructions.

■ Your printer driver runs your printer and lets you control how your documents

look. You can’t print without it.

Tip: It’s a good idea to check Epson’s support web site periodically for free updates to your printer driver. Visit http://support.epson.com. Download instructions are posted for your convenience.

■

Your photo software includes these great tools:

P.I.M. II Plug-in for Adobe Photoshop lets you retain PRINT Image Matching,

P.I.M. II, and Exif Print image quality when you import JPEG or TIFF files from your P.I.M.-enabled digital camera. (Compatible with Photoshop 6.0, 7.0, and CS, and Photoshop Elements 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0.)

Epson Print CD lets you print custom labels directly on ink-jet printable CDs and DVDs.

Epson PhotoCenter is Epson’s free photo-sharing web site where you can store,

organize, and share your photos; print high-resolution photos straight from the web; and create free online postcards. Your printer software installer lets you add a link to Epson PhotoCenter on your desktop.

2. Open the paper support and pull up the support extension.

3. Pull out the output tray extensions.

4. Place your paper in the printer and slide it against the right side of the sheet feeder.

5. Adjust the left edge guide to fit lightly against the paper.

Also follow the loading guidelines on the next page.

Output tray

Paper support

Check the following as you load paper:

■ Always load the short edge first, even for printing landscape-oriented documents.

■ Load the printable side face up. It’s usually whiter or brighter than the other side.

■ Load letterhead or preprinted paper into the printer top edge first.

■ Don’t load paper above the arrow on the left edge guide.

Loading Paper 15

Loading Roll Paper

You can load 4-inch and 8.3-inch wide roll paper for printing multiple photos or panoramics, with or without borders.

Tip: It’s a good idea to check and make sure your ink cartridges are not low before loading and printing on roll paper. If you need to replace a cartridge with roll paper loaded, you should remove the paper or marks may appear in your printout.

1. Turn on the printer and remove any paper loaded in the sheet feeder at the top of the printer.

2. Open the output tray, but don’t pull out the extensions. Also make sure the tray is in the lower position (see page 13).

3. Place the roll paper on the holders as shown, then remove the tape and protective paper from the end of the roll.

4. Make sure the end of the paper is cut straight across, with 90° corners. If the end is cut diagonally, you may have problems feeding the paper.

5. If the paper curls at the end, roll it backwards between a folded sheet of paper to uncurl it.

Avoid touching the printable surface of the roll paper.

If the paper is crooked, press the z roll paper button for three seconds to back the paper all the way out.

Then turn the roll paper holder knobs to roll up the paper. Press the z roll paper button to clear the paper out error. Repeat steps 7 through 9 to reload the paper.

To print on roll paper or borderless cut sheets, or to print P.I.M. or color-managed photos, see “Printing Special Photos” beginning on page 35.

Tip: Whenever you print, make sure you:

■ Use the right paper.

For the best-looking photos, most vivid colors, and greatest detail, always use genuine Epson papers and Epson UltraChrome Hi-Gloss inks.

Caution: Don’t open Epson Status Monitor, pause printing, or respond to any on-screen, low ink messages when your printer is in the middle of a print job. This may cause your printer to pause and leave an uneven surface on your printout.

If you must replace an ink cartridge in the middle of a print job, the quality of your printout may decline. For best results, check your ink levels and replace ink cartridges, if necessary, before printing large or high-resolution print jobs.
