You can load up to 100 sheets of 64 g/m2 plain paper or up to 20 sheets of
photo paper. See the User’s Guide for capacity guidelines on other paper
types.
Note:
The type of paper you choose affects the way your printout looks, so be sure to select the
correct paper for your job. If you are just making a copy or printing a rough draft of an
image, plain paper is fine. However, for the best results, you will want to use one of Epson’s
special ink jet papers designed for your printer. For example, your photos will look great
printed on Epson Premium Glossy Photo Paper. See page 31 for details.
4. Slide the left edge guide against the left edge of the paper (but not too

Caution:
Do not remove the card or turn off the EPSON STYLUS CX5700F while the memory card
access light is flashing; you may lose data on the card.
Printing an Index Sheet to Select Photos
You can print an index sheet (which is like a photographer’s contact or proof
sheet) to see small “thumbnail” images of all the photos on your card. Then you
mark the photos on the index sheet that you want to print, scan the sheet, and
let the EPSON STYLUS CX5700F automatically print the selected photos.
Printing the Index Sheet
1. Make sure your EPSON STYLUS CX5700F is not connected to your
computer (or your computer is turned off).
2. Load several sheets of A4-size, plain paper. (Use only A4-size paper to
print the index sheet.) Up to 30 images are printed on each page, so if there
are more than 30 photos on the memory card, you will need enough sheets
for all the index pages to be printed.
3. Insert the memory card if it is not already in the slot. See page 17 for
details.
4. If the light in the
Memory Card button is not lit, press the Memory Card
button. The EPSON STYLUS CX5700F counts the images on your card
and you see this display, indicating it is ready to print the index sheet:

next page.
Note:
You can also check the print head nozzles using software when the EPSON STYLUS CX5700F
is connected to your computer. See the User’s Guide for instructions.
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 49 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.
If you see an ink error message on the display, you cannot clean the print head. In this case, press
the OK button and replace the appropriate ink cartridge first. See page 53 for details.

5. When the display returns to 4.Head Cleaning, run a nozzle check to verify
that the print head is clean. See page 49 for details.
6. If there are still gaps or lines, or the test patterns are faint, run another
cleaning cycle and check the nozzles again.
Note:
If you do not see any improvement after cleaning the print head four or five times, turn off
the EPSON STYLUS CX5700F and wait overnight. This lets any dried ink soften. Then try
cleaning the print head again. If quality still does not improve, one of the ink cartridges may
be old or damaged and needs to be replaced. See page 53 for details.
Caution:
If you do not use your EPSON STYLUS CX5700F often, it is a good idea to print a few pages at
least once a month to maintain good print quality.

When you see a message like this on the display, you need to replace one or
more cartridges:
Cyan ink out->Pr
You cannot print when a cartridge is empty.
Note:
You will also see a low ink or ink out message on your computer screen when you print from
your computer.
You can use the following ink cartridges in the EPSON STYLUS CX5700F:
Type of ink Part number
Black T0621/T0631
Cyan T0632
Magenta T0633
Yellow T0634
Caution:
Leave the empty cartridge installed until you have obtained a replacement, or the ink remaining
in the print head nozzles may dry out.
We recommend that you use genuine Epson cartridges. The use of other products may affect your
print quality and could result in printer damage. Yields vary considerably based on images
printed, print settings, paper type, frequency of use, and temperature. The printer ships with full
cartridges and part of the ink from the first cartridges is used for priming the printer.

Problems and Solutions
Copying Problems
■ Make sure your original is positioned in the top left corner of the glass.
Place it 2.5 mm (0.1 inch) from the edges to avoid cropping.
■ Make sure your paper is loaded short edge first and is positioned against
the right edge guide with the left edge guide against its left side. Do not
load paper above the arrow mark inside the left edge guide.
Faxing Problems
■ If you have problems sending a fax, make sure the phone cable is
connected correctly and verify that the phone line works by connecting a
phone to it. Also make sure that your recipient’s fax machine is turned on
and working.
■ If you have problems receiving a fax, make sure paper is loaded, the phone
cable is connected correctly, and the phone line works. To automatically
receive faxes, make sure you see a
page 44 for details.) If you see
Y on the first screen display. (See
Receiving on the display but nothing prints,
the fax data may be too large. Tell the sender to resend the fax in smaller
sections.
■ If you connected the EPSON STYLUS CX5700F to a DSL phone line, you
must install a DSL filter to the line or you will not be able to fax. Contact
your DSL provider for the necessary filter.
Solving Problems 59
Page 60
■ If your phone line has static or other noise problems, turn off the ECM
(Error Correction Mode) setting and try faxing again. See page 36 for
details.
Paper Feeding Problems
■ If paper does not 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 guide, 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
100 sheets of plain paper). See the User’s Guide for more information.
■ If paper is jammed, you see a paper jam message on the display. Follow
these steps to clear the jam:
1. Press the
OK button to eject the jammed paper. If the jammed paper is
not ejected, go to the next step.
2. If the paper is stuck near the sheet feeder or output tray, gently pull it
out.
If the paper is stuck inside the EPSON STYLUS CX5700F, press the
P
On button to turn it off. Open the scanner and remove any paper
inside, including any torn pieces. Do not pull it backward however;
this can damage the sheet feeder. Close the scanner, then turn the
EPSON STYLUS CX5700F back on.
Print Quality Problems
If you have any problems with the copy or print quality, try these solutions:
■ Make sure the document is placed flat against the document table glass and
the EPSON STYLUS CX5700F 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 is not 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.
60 Solving Problems

■ 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 31
for details.
■ For the best print quality, use Epson special paper (see page 31) and
genuine Epson ink cartridges (see page 53).

Important Safety Instructions
Before using your EPSON STYLUS CX5700F all-in-one, read and follow these safety
instructions:
■ Be sure to follow all warnings and instructions marked on the EPSON STYLUS
CX5700F.
■ Use only the type of power source indicated on the EPSON STYLUS CX5700F
label.
■ Use only the power cord that comes with the EPSON STYLUS CX5700F. Use of
another cord may cause fires or shock. Do not use the cord with any other
equipment.
■ Place the EPSON STYLUS CX5700F near a wall outlet where the plug can be
easily unplugged.
Placez l’imprimante près d’une prise de contacte où la fiche peut être débranchée
facilement.
■ Do not let the power cord become damaged or frayed.
■ If you use an extension cord with the EPSON STYLUS CX5700F, 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 EPSON STYLUS CX5700F for sufficient
ventilation. Do not block or cover openings in the EPSON STYLUS CX5700F
case or insert objects through the slots.
■ Do not place the EPSON STYLUS CX5700F near a radiator or heating vent or in
direct sunlight.
■ Place the EPSON STYLUS CX5700F 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.
■ Make sure the back of the EPSON STYLUS CX5700F is at least 10 cm (3.9
inches) away from the wall.
■ Do not open the scanner section while the EPSON STYLUS CX5700F is copying,
printing, or scanning.
Notices 65
Page 66
■ Do not spill liquid on the EPSON STYLUS CX5700F.
■ Except as specifically explained in your documentation, do not attempt to service
the EPSON STYLUS CX5700F yourself.
■ Unplug the EPSON STYLUS CX5700F 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.
■ When storing or transporting the EPSON STYLUS CX5700F, 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.
■ Do not put your hand inside the EPSON STYLUS CX5700F or touch any
cartridges during printing.
■ Install a new ink cartridge immediately after removing an empty one. Leaving
cartridges uninstalled can dehydrate the print head and may prevent the EPSON
STYLUS CX5700F 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 EPSON STYLUS CX5700F.
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.
Telephone Equipment Safety Instructions
When using telephone equipment, you should always follow basic safety
precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury,
including the following:
■ Do not use the EPSON STYLUS CX5700F near water.
■ Avoid using a telephone during an electrical storm. There may be a remote
risk of electric shock from lightning.
66 Notices
Page 67
■ Do not use a telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
Caution:
To reduce the risk of fire, use only a No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunication line cord.
