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® Ultra Premium 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.

2. Open the front cover.

Loading Paper 7

3. Slide out the front tray extensions.

Note:

Make sure the front tray is in the paper (lower) position. If it is not, lift up the tray lever to reposition the front tray.

4. Slide the edge guide to the left.

Note:

If the hinged feeder guard is in the way, flip it forward.

8 Loading Paper

5.Insert the paper, printable side up, against the right edge. The printable side is often whiter or brighter than the other side.

Always load paper short edge first, even for landscape printing. Make sure the paper lies beneath the tabs.

4	× 6-inch,	Letter-size,
5	× 7-inch	8 × 10-inch

You can load up to 120 sheets of plain paper or up to 20 sheets of photo paper. Make sure the paper stack fits under the arrow inside the left edge guide.

6. Slide the left edge guide against the left edge of the paper (but not too tightly).

Storing and Displaying Your Prints

With proper care, photographs from your RX580 will last for many years. The special Epson Claria™ inks designed for your printer provide the ultimate combination of photo quality and longevity when used with Epson papers for prints that are properly displayed or stored. For best results, always use Epson papers.

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

■Frame prints under glass or a protective plastic sleeve to protect them from atmospheric contaminants like humidity, smoke, and high levels of ozone.

■As with all photographs, keep your prints away from direct sunlight.

■Keep your prints away from high temperature.

■For proper storage, keep your prints in a photo album or plastic photo storage box in acid-free, archival sleeves commonly available from most camera stores.

■Always keep unused paper in the original package.
