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’ll want to use
one of Epson’s special ink jet papers designed for your printer.
For example, your photos will look great printed on Premium
Glossy Photo Paper. See “Media” on page 1 for more
information.
5. Slide the left edge guide against the left edge of the paper

than the other side.
❏ Always load the short edge first, even when printing in

❏ If you experience paper feeding problems, try loading fewer
sheets.
❏ If you’re using special paper, check the package for special
loading instructions.

press the glass with too much force.
1. Open the document cover and place your original facedown on the glass, in the upper left corner. Move your

twist it diagonally. You may damage the document cover.
When you are done, replace the document cover by inserting
the tabs back into the slots.
2. Close the document cover gently so that your original does
not move.

Never open the document cover beyond where it stops.
If you need to clean the document table glass, wipe it gently with
a soft cloth. Do not spray glass cleaner on the glass.

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 above)
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 the next section for details.

run another cleaning cycle and check the nozzles again.
Note:
If you don’t see any improvement after cleaning the print head
four or five times, turn off the Epson Stylus CX5800F 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 19 for details.
Caution:
If you do not use your Epson Stylus CX5800F often, it is a good idea
to print a few pages at least once a month to maintain good print
quality.

Caution:
Do not open the scanner when the document cover is open.
Do not move the print head by hand; this may damage the Epson
Stylus CX5800F. Always select 5.Replace Cartridge from the

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
