Copying

You can use your Epson Stylus® Photo RX620 to copy materials such as newspaper clippings, scrapbooking ele m ents, and 4 computer. Make beautiful color copies of your existing photos—or use the included film holder to make photo reprints directly from 35-mm slides and negatives. If you have photos that have become faded over time, you can even bring them back to life with Color Restoration.

Loading Paper

Epson® offers an extensive line of specialty papers that provide outstanding results when used with Epson printers and ink. See the inside back cover for a complete list of papers that work with your printer . If you need help making a selection, see the Start Here sheet for some useful tips, or check online at www.epson.com.

Note:

If you’re using special Epson paper, follow any instructions that came with it. For example, some types of paper should be loaded only one sheet at a time. See your on-screen Reference Guide for details.

To ensure good results, always:

■ Check the RX620’s Paper Type setting before printing to make sure it matches the

type of paper you’ve loaded (see page 12).

Copying Text and Graphics

Here’s how to copy materials that include a combination of text and graphics. Y ou can copy black-and-white materials such as books, forms, and newspaper clippings—or materials with colorful graphic designs such as magazine articles, school projects, and scrapbooking elements.

Tip:

Plain photocopier paper works well for making everyday copies. For crisper text and more vivid colors, try Epson Premium Bright White Paper or Photo Quality Ink Jet Paper. These papers provide superior yet affordable results for day-to-day business and personal printing needs.

1. Press the POn button to turn on the RX620.

1. Load several sheets of letter-size (8.5

3. Close the scanner lid.

Tip:

If the edges of your original are important, slide the document about 1/8 inch away from the edges of the glass to ensure that the entire document is copied.
