Caution:
To ensure good results, use genuine Epson cartridges. Other
products may cause damage to your printer not covered by Epson’s
warranty.
Don’t use an ink cartridge if the date on the package has expired.
Do not refill the ink cartridge. An IC chip on the cartridge calculates
the amount of remaining ink based on the initial supply. Adding ink
does not increase the amount available for use.

Paper
Since the quality of any particular brand or type of paper may
be changed by the manufacturer at any time, Epson cannot
attest to the quality of any non-Epson brand of paper. Always
test samples of paper stock before purchasing large quantities
or printing large jobs.
Poor quality paper may reduce print quality and cause paper
jams and other problems. If you encounter problems, switch
to a higher grade of paper. Do not load curled, folded, or
wrinkled paper.
Use paper under normal environmental conditions: 59 to
77 °F (15 to 25 °C) and 40 to 60% RH (relative humidity).

Cleaning the Print Head
If your printouts are unexpectedly light, or dots or lines are
missing, you may need to clean the print head. This unclogs
the nozzles so they can deliver ink properly. Print head
cleaning uses ink, so clean it only if quality declines.
Note:
You can also clean the print head using the printer software. Click the
? or Help button on your printer settings window for instructions on
running the print head cleaning utility.
1. Make sure the RX620 is turned on but not printing.

3. Close the scanner lid.
Now you are ready copy, print, or scan. See the User’s Guide
for instructions.
Note:
You can also print a nozzle check using the printer software. Click
the ? or Help button on your printer settings window for
instructions on printing a nozzle check.
7. Examine the nozzle check pattern you printed. Each
staggered line should be solid, with no gaps, as shown.
❏ If your printout looks okay, you’re done. Click

If you don’t see any improvement after cleaning three or four
times, check the troubleshooting solutions in the on-screen
Reference Guide. You can also turn the RX620 off and wait
overnight—this allows any dried ink to soften—and then try
cleaning the print head again.
Caution:
When you don’t turn on your RX620 for a long time, the print quality
can decline. It’s a good idea to turn it on at least once a month to
maintain good print quality.
Replacing Ink Cartridges
When you print with low or empty ink cartridges, you’ll see a
message on your RX620 screen. When your ink starts getting
low, make sure you have replacement cartridges available. You
can’t print if a cartridge is empty.
Check the icon in the upper
right corner to see which
cartridge is low or empty:
If you can’t see the icon
clearly enough, press the
d button to select
OK button. Use the l and r buttons to decrease or increase
Setup button, then press the
LCD Contrast Adjustment then press the
the contrast as necessary to see the icon clearly, then press the
OK button.
When a cartridge is more than six months old, you may need
to replace it if printouts don’t look their best. If the quality
doesn’t improve after cleaning and aligning the print head,
you may need to replace the cartridge.

Ink Cartridge Precautions
Warning:
Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children.
If ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and
water. If ink gets in your eyes, flush them thoroughly with water.
Caution:
To avoid damaging the printer, never move the print head by hand.
You can’t print if an ink cartridge is empty. Leave the empty
cartridge installed in the RX620 until you have obtained a
replacement. Otherwise the ink remaining in the print head nozzles
may dry out.
Removing and Installing Ink Cartridges
Be 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.

the locked position.
Caution:
Be sure to move the transportation lock back to the unlocked
