6 Introduction

Loading Paper

The type of paper you choose affects the way your printouts look, so make sure
you select the correct paper for your job. If you are just making a copy or printing
a rough draft, plain paper is fine.

However, for the best results, use one of Epson’s special ink jet papers designed for
your printer. For example, photos look great printed on Epson
Photo Paper Glossy. See page 10 for a list of Epson papers and ordering
information.

1. Open the paper support, then pull up the extension.

Touching Up Your Photos

Your RX580 lets you correct the color and improve your photos without using a
computer. PhotoEnhance automatically corrects under- or over-exposure,
enhances skin tones, and sharpens scenery.

For example, if the subject of your photo is too dark because of a bright
background (backlighting), PhotoEnhance can adjust the lighting so that the
person’s face is brighter in the printout. (This adjustment works best when faces
take up a significant portion of the photo with both eyes visible.)

Note:

These settings apply to all selected photos and affect only your printed pictures. They
do not change your original image files, and they are not reflected on the RX580 screen.

Removing Red-Eye

If eyes in your photos appear to be red, you can fix them without using
complicated software or your computer. First, select the photo or photos you want
to print (using any of the selection methods on pages 25 through 27).

Printing on CDs and DVDs

Your RX580 includes a special tray that lets you print your photos directly on ink
jet-printable CDs or DVDs—without using a computer.

You can also use the Epson Print CD software that came with your RX580 to add
text and modify your designs with a variety of special effects. For instructions on
using Epson Print CD on your computer, see your on-screen User’s Guide.

Caution:

Use only ink jet-printable CDs or DVDs for printing. Thermal-printable and standard CDs
and DVDs should not be used with the RX580. You can print directly on standard-size
12-cm CDs without a computer, and on both standard CDs and 8-cm mini CDs with
your computer.

Follow the steps in these sections to print on CDs and DVDs:

■ “Measuring Your CDs/DVDs” below

■ “Inserting a CD or DVD” on page 46

■ “Printing Photos on a CD or DVD” on page 48

■ “Copying onto a CD/DVD” on page 51

■ “Returning the Front Tray to the Paper Position” on page 54

■ “Printing a CD/DVD Jewel Case Insert” on page 55

Measuring Your CDs/DVDs

Before you print on CDs or DVDs, you need to measure the printable surface of
the discs you are printing on. You can then set the inner (hub) and outer
dimensions before you print. This prevents ink stains on the CD/DVD tray,
which might be caused by printing on the non-coated areas of the CD or DVD.

Printing on CDs and DVDs 45

Use a millimeter ruler to measure the inner and outer dimensions as shown:

Outer

Inner

See page 50 for instructions on adjusting the dimensions.

Inserting a CD or DVD

Make sure the data, music, or video is burned on your ink jet-printable CDs or
DVDs before you print. Otherwise, dirt or scratches on the surface may cause
errors when you burn the data.

If you plan to print large numbers of CDs or DVDs, it’s a good idea to print a
small sample and check the quality to make sure it is satisfactory.

Caution:

Make sure you insert the tray correctly, or you may damage the RX580 or tray.

1. Turn on the RX580. Only insert a CD or DVD when the RX580 is turned on
and not printing or performing any maintenance routines.

2. Make sure the front cover is open and the front tray extensions are pushed in.

46 Printing on CDs and DVDs

3. Push down the lever to raise the tray to the CD/DVD position.

Caution:

Do not move the tray lever when the RX580 is operating, and do not touch the tray
when pushing down the lever.

4. Place the CD or DVD on the CD tray with the white or printable side face­up. Make sure the disc lies flat on the tray.

5. Insert the CD tray carefully between the guides on the front tray.

Inserting a CD or DVD 47

6. Slide the CD tray in until the arrows on the trays are aligned. Don’t push in
the tray too far; line up the arrows exactly.

7. Follow the instructions in the next section to print photos on your CD or
DVD from your memory card or USB flash drive.

Note:

If you want to add text and modify your designs with a variety of special effects, you
can use the Epson Print CD software on your computer. See your on-screen User’s
Guide for instructions.

Adjusting the Inner-Outer Dimensions

The standard dimensions for CD/DVD printing are 46 mm for the inner hub,
and 114 mm for the outer perimeter. If the printable area of your discs has
different measurements, you need to set them on the RX580. This prevents ink
stains on the CD/DVD tray, which might be caused by printing on the non­coated areas of the CD or DVD.

■ “Replacing Ink Cartridges” on page 71

■ “Aligning the Print Head” on page 77

Checking the Print Head Nozzles

If your printouts are faint or have light or dark lines running through them, some
of the nozzles in the print head may be clogged. Follow the steps below to check
the print head nozzles.

1. Make sure the Epson Stylus Photo RX580 is turned on but not printing.

Press

If there are gaps in the pattern, skip to step 6 below to clean the print head.

Note:

You can also check the nozzles with software when connected to a computer; see your
on-screen User’s Guide for details.

Cleaning the Print Head

If your printouts are unexpectedly light or faint, or you notice light or dark bands
across your printout, you may need to clean the print head. This unclogs the
nozzles so they can deliver ink properly. Run a nozzle check as described on
page 69 to see if the print head needs cleaning.

Note:

Print head cleaning uses ink, so clean it only if quality declines and the nozzle check
indicates that the print head needs to be cleaned.

1. Make sure your RX580 is turned on but not printing, and the ink is not low
in any cartridges.

(If ink is low, you need to replace an ink cartridge before cleaning the print
head; see page 71 to check ink levels, or see page 73 to replace a cartridge.)

again.

If you don’t see any improvement after cleaning four or five times, see page 78.
You can also turn the printer off and wait at least 6 hours or overnight. This
lets any dried ink soften. Then try cleaning the print head again.

Tip:

If you do not use your RX580 often, it is a good idea to print a few pages at least once a
month to maintain good print quality.

Replacing Ink Cartridges

When you print with low or expended ink cartridges, you see a message on the
RX580 screen. You can check which cartridge is low or needs to be replaced.

Note:

When a cartridge has been installed for more than six months, you may need to replace
it if printouts don’t look their best. If the quality doesn’t improve after cleaning and
aligning the print head, you can replace the cartridge even if the ink is not low.

Checking Ink Cartridge Status

1. Press the Setup button.

2. Press l or r to select

Ink Cartridge Status, then press OK. You see a screen

showing the status of the cartridges:

Replacing Ink Cartridges 71

Try the High Capacity 77 cartridges available at www.epson.com/highcapacity
(U.S. sales) or www.epson.ca (Canadian sales).

72 Maintaining Your RX580

You can purchase genuine Epson ink and paper from an Epson authorized reseller.
To find the nearest reseller, call 800-GO-EPSON (800-463-7766). Or you can
purchase online at www.epsonstore.com (U.S. sales) or www.epson.ca (Canadian
sales).

Removing and Installing Ink Cartridges

Be sure you have a new ink cartridge before you begin. Once you start replacing a
cartridge, you must complete all the steps in one session.

Caution:

Leave the expended cartridge installed until you have obtained a replacement, or the ink
remaining in the print head nozzles may dry out. To ensure good results, use genuine
Epson ink cartridges and do not refill them. Other products may cause ink spills or other
damage to your RX580 not covered by Epson’s warranty.

Do not open ink cartridge packages until you are ready to install the ink. Cartridges are
vacuum packed to maintain reliability.

1. Make sure the RX580 is turned on, the CD/DVD tray is not inserted, and the
front tray is in the paper (lower) position.

2. If an ink cartridge is expended, the RX580 screen indicates which cartridge(s)
need to be replaced. Press

If an ink cartridge is low, the RX580 displays a message when you copy or
print. Press
u or d to select

Setup, press l or r to select Maintenance, then press OK. Press

Change Ink Cartridge, then press OK.

OK.

3. Make sure the document cover is closed, then lift up the scanner unit.

Replacing Ink Cartridges 73

4. Open the cartridge cover.

Caution:

Never attempt to open the cartridge cover while the print head is moving. Wait until
the cartridges have moved to the replacement position. To avoid damaging the
RX580, never move the print head by hand.

5. Squeeze the tab at the back of the cartridge and lift it straight out. Dispose of
it carefully. Do not take the used cartridge apart or try to refill it.

Warning:

If ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets
into your eyes, flush them immediately with water. If discomfort or vision problems
continue after a thorough flushing, see a doctor immediately.

6. Remove the new ink cartridge from the package.

Caution:

Be careful not to break the hooks on the side of the ink cartridge when you remove
it from the package.

Always install an ink cartridge immediately after removing the old cartridge. If the
cartridge is not installed promptly, the print head may dry out and be unable to
print.

Do not touch the green chip on the side of the cartridge. This
can damage the ink cartridge.

74 Maintaining Your RX580

7. Remove the yellow tape from the bottom of the ink cartridge.

Caution:

You must remove the yellow tape from the cartridge before you install it;
otherwise, print quality may decline or you may not be able to print. If you have
installed an ink cartridge without removing the yellow tape, take the cartridge
out of the printer, remove the yellow tape, and then reinstall it.

Do not remove the transparent seal from the bottom of the cartridge; otherwise,
the cartridge may become unusable.

Do not remove or tear the label on the cartridge; otherwise, ink will leak.

8. Place the new ink cartridge into the holder and push it down until it clicks
into place.

9. Replace any other cartridges that need to be replaced.

Replacing Ink Cartridges 75

10. Close the ink cartridge cover and press it until it clicks into place.

11. Close the scanner unit.

12. Press

OK. The RX580 begins charging ink (for about one minute).

Caution:

Never turn off the RX580 while ink is charging or you’ll waste ink.

Note:

You cannot continue printing or copying with one ink cartridge expended, even if
the other cartridges still contain ink. Before printing, replace the expended
cartridge.

The RX580 uses ink cartridges equipped with IC chips that monitor the amount of
ink used by each cartridge. Cartridges are usable even if they are removed and
reinserted. Some ink is consumed each time cartridges are inserted, however,
because the printer automatically checks their reliability.

If you remove a cartridge that is low (for which you have received an “Ink low”
message), and you temporarily install a new cartridge in its place, you cannot reuse
the low cartridge.

Ink is consumed during the following operations: print head cleaning, self-cleaning
(when the printer is turned on), and ink charging (when an ink cartridge is installed).

76 Maintaining Your RX580

Aligning the Print Head

If your prints look grainy or blurry, or you notice that vertical lines are not aligned
properly on the nozzle check pattern, you may need to align the print head.

Note:

Make sure the front tray is in the paper (lower) position and the CD/DVD tray is not
inserted.

1. Make sure the RX580 is turned on and not printing.

Problems and Solutions

Check the solutions below if you’re having trouble using your RX580.

Noise Problems

■ The first time you install ink cartridges, the printer must charge its print head

for about 2 minutes. Wait until charging finishes (when you see the message
“Initialization is complete”) before you turn off the RX580, or it may charge
improperly and use excess ink the next time you turn it on.

■ Turn off the RX580, then make sure the ink cartridges are inserted completely

and the ink cartridge cover is closed completely. Also make sure no packing
material remains inside. Wait a moment, then turn the RX580 back on.

Problems and Solutions 79

Screen Problems

■ If the screen is black, press any button to activate the RX580. Then press the

button for the feature you want to use.

■ If you don’t see your photos on the screen, make sure they are in JPEG or

uncompressed TIFF format and taken with a DCF-compliant camera. If you
have used the RX580 to back up photos on a USB storage device, the RX580
will recognize only the photos in numbered folders on the device.

Printing and Copying Problems

■ Make sure your original is positioned in the top left corner of the glass. Move

it slightly away from the edges to avoid cropping.

■ Make sure your paper is loaded short edge first and is positioned against the

right edge with the left edge guide against its left side. Don’t load paper above
the arrow mark inside the left edge guide.

■ Make sure the paper size settings are correct for the paper you are using.

■ If part of your image is cut off, try turning off the Fit Frame setting. Or, try

setting

Expansion to Mid or Min. See page 37 for more information.

Paper Feeding Problems

■ If paper doesn’t feed, remove it from the sheet feeder. Flip through the stack

to separate the sheets a little. Then reload the paper against the right edge, and
slide the left edge guide against the paper (but not too tightly). Make sure the
paper is not in front of the feeder guard.

■ Do not load too many sheets at once (up to 20 sheets of photo paper or 120

sheets of plain paper). See your User’s Guide for more information.

■ If paper is jammed, follow these steps to clear the jam:

1. Press the x

is not ejected, go to the next step.

2. If the paper is stuck near the sheet feeder or front tray, gently pull it out.

If the paper is stuck inside the RX580, press the P
off. Open the scanner and remove any paper inside, including any torn
pieces. Do not pull it backward; this can damage the sheet feeder. Close
the scanner, then turn the RX580 back on.

Print Quality Problems

If you have any problems with the copy or print quality, try these solutions:

■ Make sure the type of paper you loaded matches the paper size and paper type

settings on the control panel or in your printer software (see page 62).

■ Tr y s e l e c t i n g Best as the Quality setting.

■ If you are copying, make sure the document is placed flat against the

document table glass and the RX580 is not tilted or placed on an uneven
surface.

■ Load the paper printable side up (usually the whiter, brighter, or glossy side).

■ Make sure your paper isn’t damp or curled.

■ Use a support sheet with special paper or load your paper one sheet at a time.

Remove sheets from the output tray as they are printed.

■ For the best print quality, use Epson special paper (see page 62) and genuine

Epson ink cartridges (see page 72).

■ Set the tray lever to the paper position for paper, then pull out the front tray

extensions. If you are printing on CDs or DVDs, push in the extensions, then
set the lever to the CD/DVD position.

■ If you notice light or dark lines across your printouts or they are too faint, you

may need to clean the print head. This unclogs the nozzles so they can deliver
ink properly. Run a nozzle check as described on page 69 to see if the print
head needs cleaning. Then clean the print head as described on page 70 if
necessary.

■ If you notice jagged vertical lines, you may need to align the print head. See

page 77 for instructions.

■ The ink cartridges may be old or low on ink; see page 71 for instructions on

replacing an ink cartridge.

■ If a dotted line appears in the image, clean the document table glass with a

soft, dry, lint-free cloth (paper towels are not recommended), or use a small
amount of glass cleaner on a soft cloth, if necessary. Don’t spray glass cleaner

directly on the glass.

■ Make sure your paper size and layout settings are correct.

■ If part of your image is cut off, try turning off the Fit Frame setting. Or, try

setting

Expansion to Mid or Min. See page 37 for more information.

Important Safety Instructions

Before using your RX580, read and follow these safety instructions:

■ Use only the type of power source indicated on the RX580 label.

■ Use only the power cord that comes with the RX580. Use of another cord may cause

fires or shock. Do not use the cord with any other equipment.

■ Place the RX580 near a wall outlet where the plug can be easily unplugged.

■ Do not use a damaged or frayed power cord.

■ If you use an extension cord with the RX580, make sure the total ampere rating of the

devices plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the cord’s ampere rating.
Also, make sure the total ampere rating of all devices plugged into the wall outlet does
not exceed the wall outlet’s ampere rating.

■ Avoid locations that are subject to rapid changes in heat or humidity, shocks or

vibrations, or dust.

■ Leave enough room around the RX580 for sufficient ventilation. Do not block or

cover openings in the RX580 case or insert objects through the slots.

■ Make sure the back of the RX580 is at least 3.9 inches (10 cm) away from the wall.

■ Do not place the RX580 near a radiator or heating vent or in direct sunlight.

■ Place the RX580 on a flat, stable surface that extends beyond its base in all directions.

It will not operate properly if it is tilted or at an angle.

■ Do not open the scanner section while the RX580 is copying, printing, or scanning.

■ Do not spill liquid on the RX580.

■ Do not use aerosol products that contain flammable gases inside or around the

RX580, to avoid fire danger.

■ Except as specifically explained in your documentation, do not attempt to service the

RX580 yourself.

■ Unplug the RX580 and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the

following conditions: if the power cord or plug is damaged; if liquid has entered the
product; if the product has been dropped or the case damaged; if the product does not
operate normally or exhibits a distinct change in performance. Adjust only those
controls that are covered by the operating instructions.

Notices 83

■ When storing or transporting the RX580, do not tilt it, stand it on its side, or turn it

upside down; otherwise ink may leak from the cartridge.

Ink Cartridge Safety Instructions

■ Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and do not drink the ink.

■ Be careful when you handle used ink cartridges; there may be ink remaining around

the ink supply port. If ink gets on your skin, wash it off with soap and water. If it gets
in your eyes, flush them immediately with water. If you still have discomfort or vision
problems, see a doctor immediately.

■ Do not put your hand inside the RX580 or touch any cartridges during printing.

■ Do not shake cartridges, as this might cause leakage.

■ Install a new ink cartridge immediately after removing an expended one. Leaving

cartridges uninstalled can dehydrate the print head and may prevent the RX580 from
printing.

■ If you remove an ink cartridge for later use, protect the ink supply area from dirt and

dust and store it in the same environment as the RX580. Note that there is a valve in
the ink supply port, making covers or plugs unnecessary, but care is needed to prevent
the ink from staining items that the cartridge touches. Do not touch the ink cartridge
ink supply port or surrounding area.

LCD Screen Safety Instructions

■ Only use a dry, soft cloth to clean the LCD panel. Do not use liquid or chemical

cleansers.

■ If the LCD panel is damaged, contact Epson as described on page 82. If the liquid

crystal solution gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and water. If the
liquid crystal solution gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with water. If
discomfort or vision problems remain after a thorough flushing, see a doctor
immediately.
