Introduction

After you have set up your Epson Stylus® CX6000 Series all-in-one as described on the Start Here sheet, turn here to:

■ Load paper

■ Make a quick copy of a document or photo, including restoring a color photo

as you copy

■ Print photos stored on a memory card

■ Print photos directly from your camera

■ Get the basic steps for printing from your computer

■ Scan a document or photo, including restoring a color photo as you scan

■ Perform routine maintenance

This book tells you how to do most of these things without ever turning on your computer! Of course your CX6000 Series can do a lot more when you connect it to your Windows on-screen User’s Guide by selecting the icon for it on your desktop.

or Macintosh® computer. For additional instructions, see the

Please follow these guidelines as you read your CX6000 Series instructions:

Warning:

Warnings must be followed carefully to avoid bodily injury.

Caution:

Cautions must be observed to avoid damage to your equipment.

Note:

Notes contain important information about your CX6000 Series.

Tip:

Tips contain hints for better copying, scanning, and printing.

Loading Paper

Follow the steps here to load paper in your Epson Stylus CX6000 Series all-in-one.

1. Open the paper support and slide out the extensions.

2. Open the output tray and pull out the extension.

3. Flip the feeder guard forward.

Loading Paper 5

4. Insert the paper, printable side up, against the right edge guide and beneath the tabs. (The printed side is whiter or brighter on some papers.) Always load paper short edge first, even for landscape printing.

Place paper beneath the tabs

You can load up to 100 sheets of plain paper and up to 20 sheets of photo or matte 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’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 Epson Premium Photo Paper Glossy (see page 28 for more information).

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

6. Flip the feeder guard back.

6 Loading Paper

Copying a Photo or Document

Follow the instructions in this section to:

■ Position your photos or document correctly on the glass (see below)

■ Make copies of a photo or document (see page 9)

Placing the Original on the Glass

1. Open the document cover and place your original face-down on the glass, in the upper left corner.

2. Close the cover gently so you don’t move the original.

Caution:

Never open the document cover beyond where it stops and do not place heavy objects on top of the Epson Stylus CX6000 Series all-in-one.

Copying a Photo or Document 7

If you need to copy or scan a thick or large document, you can remove the document cover. Just open it and pull it straight up.

If you need to press the document flat while you copy or scan it, do not press too hard and be careful not to move it.

Note:

Do not use excessive force on the document cover, and do not twist it. You may damage the document cover.

When you are done, replace the document cover by inserting the tabs back into the slots.

Positioning Multiple Photos

You can copy or scan two or more photos at the same time. Make sure each photo is larger than 1.2 × 1.6 inches (30 × 40 mm) and leave room between them.

1. Place your photos as shown here.

2. Place each photo about 0.2 inch (5 mm) away from the edge of the document table and away from adjacent photos.

3. Follow the steps on page 10 to copy your photos using Photo mode.

Printing From a Memory Card

The Epson Stylus CX6000 Series all-in-one lets you print color photos directly from your digital camera’s memory card; just insert it into a memory card slot on the CX6000 Series and you’re ready to print.

If your digital camera supports DPOF (Digital Print Order Format), you can pre-select the photos you want to print while the card is still in the camera. Then, when you insert the card in the CX6000 Series, it knows which photos to print and how many copies of each.

See these sections:

■ “Compatible Cards and Image Formats” (see below)

■ “Inserting the Card” on page 14

■ “Selecting Photos From the Screen” on page 15

■ “Printing an Index Sheet to Select Photos” on page 16

■ “Printing All Photos or DPOF Photos” on page 18

■ “Printing the Date on Photos” on page 19

For instructions on copying memory card files between your CX6000 Series and a computer or other device, see the User’s Guide.

Inserting the Card

1. Make sure the Epson Stylus CX6000 Series all-in-one is turned on.

Note:

When you print directly from a memory card, it is best if the CX6000 Series is not connected to your computer (or your computer should be turned off). If you see a message on your computer screen when you insert a card in the CX6000 Series, just cancel the operation and close the screen.

2. Open the memory card door.

3. Make sure the memory card access light is off and that no cards are in any of the slots. Then insert your card into the correct slot (see page 13 for details). The memory card access light flashes and then stays on.

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 pictures on your card. Then you can mark the pictures on the index sheet that you want to print, scan the sheet, and let the Epson Stylus CX6000 Series all-in-one automatically print the selected photos.

Printing the Index Sheet

1. Make sure your CX6000 Series is not connected to your computer (or your computer is turned off).

2. Load several sheets of letter-size, plain paper. (Use only letter-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’ll 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 14).

4. Press the C appears on the photo viewer screen.

5. Make sure

6. Press the x printing the index sheets. (This may take a few minutes.)

Selecting Photos on the Index Sheet

1. Once you have printed the index sheet, use a dark pen or pencil to fill in one of the circles beneath each photo you want to print to indicate how many copies you want (1, 2, or 3).

OK:

No good:

Make sure just one circle is filled in for each selected photo and mark the sheet carefully; once it has been scanned you will not be able to change your selections.

Note:

If you want one copy of all the photos on the index sheet, fill in the ALL circle at the top of the page.

2. Place the index sheet face-down on the glass, in the upper left corner, so that the top of the sheet is aligned against the left edge of the glass.

3. Close the document cover.

4. Load up to 100 sheets of plain paper or up to 20 sheets of photo or matte paper at a time (see page 5 for details). You can load more paper later as necessary to print all your selected photos.
