3. Flip the feeder guard forward.
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

Loading Paper

1. Open the paper support and slide out the extensions.
2. Open the output tray and pull out the extension.
You can load up to 100 sheets of plain paper and up to 20 sheets of photo or matte paper (see page 5 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 Ultra Premium Photo Paper Glossy (see page 1 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.
Follow these guidelines when loading paper:
Don’t load paper above the arrow on the left edge guide.
Make sure the paper is under the tabs on the left and right edge guides.
Load the printable side face-up. It’s often brighter or whiter
than the other side.
Always load the short edge first, even when printing in
landscape mode.
Load letterhead or preprinted paper into the printer
top edge first.
If you experience paper feeding problems, try loading fewer
sheets.
If you’re using special paper, check the package for special
loading instructions.
Note:
For instructions on loading envelopes, see the User’s Guide.

2. Close the document cover gently so that your original does not move.
Caution:

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.
Caution:
Do not use excessive force on the document cover, and do not 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.

When you want to remove the card, make sure the memory card access light is not flashing, then pull the card straight out of its slot.
Caution:
Do not remove the card or turn off the CX7000F Series while the memory card access light is flashing; you may lose data on the card.

Printing an Index Sheet

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 CX7000F Series automatically print the selected photos.
1. Make sure your CX7000F Series is not connected to your computer (or make sure 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 (as shown on the left).
For multiple index sheets, the pages containing the most recent images are printed first. If you want to cancel printing more sheets, press the y
Cancel/Back button.
Now follow the instructions below to select which photos to print.

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:
Incorrect:
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 oval 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.
Note:
Don’t remove the memory card while you’re printing from an index sheet.
4. Load up to 100 sheets of plain paper or up to 20 sheets of photo paper at a time (see page 4 for details). You can load more paper later as necessary to print all your selected photos.
The display should now look like this, indicating that the CX7000F Series is ready to scan the index sheet:

Follow the steps below to print one copy of each photo on the card or to print only those photos that were pre-selected with your camera’s DPOF (Digital Print Order Format) feature.
1. Load up to 100 sheets of plain paper or up to 20 sheets of photo paper at a time (see page 4 for details.) You can load more paper later as necessary to print all your photos.

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 in the previous section) 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.

Note:
If you don’t see any improvement after cleaning the print head four times, turn off the CX7000F Series and wait at least six hours. 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.
Tip:
If you do not use your CX7000F Series often, it is a good idea to print a few pages at least once a month to maintain good print quality.

If a cartridge is more than six months old, print quality may decline. If necessary, try cleaning the print head (see page 15). If printouts still do not look their best, you may need to replace the cartridge.

Removing and Installing Ink Cartridges

Note:
Leave the expended cartridge installed until you have obtained a replacement or the ink remaining in the print head nozzles may dry out.
Make 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.
Do not open ink cartridge packages until you are ready to install the ink. Cartridges are vacuum packed to maintain reliability.
If you remove a cartridge that is low (for which you have received an “Ink low” message), you cannot reuse it.
