Loading Paper
Your Stylus Photo RX700 lets you load plain, letter-size paper in the front tray
(for everyday printing) and special Epson papers in the rear sheet feeder for photoquality results.
Loading Plain Paper
The front tray is for loading letter-size plain paper only (8.5 × 11-inch
photocopier paper). You can load up to 150 sheets of plain paper in the front tray.
Caution:
All other types of paper must be loaded in the rear sheet feeder (see page 12).
1. Open the front cover.
Press
2. Fan a stack of paper (up to 150 sheets), then tap it on a flat surface to even the
edges.
3. Load the paper. Align it with the line on the yellow sticker, being careful not
to push it in too far.

Caution:
Do not push the paper in too far. Make sure the paper is stacked evenly.

Loading Epson 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 inside back cover for suggestions, or check online at www.epsonstore.com.
Note:
Load specialty Epson papers in the rear sheet feeder only. Plain paper may also be
loaded in the rear sheet feeder, but you have to specify Plain(Back) as the Paper Type
when printing (see page 15).
Epson paper is designed to work with Epson printers and ink. If you use different
brands, you may not get the results you expect.
1. Extend the paper support.

3. Extend the output tray.
4. Load your paper and slide the edge guide lightly against it. Never load more
sheets than can fit under the arrow mark on the edge guide.
Note:
If you’re using 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:
■ Load paper short edge first.
■ Load paper with the printable side up (it’s usually whiter or brighter).
■ Check the RX700’s Paper Type setting before printing to make sure it matches the
type of paper you’ve loaded (see page 16).

Copying Text and Graphics
Here’s how to make basic copies of text and graphics. You can copy black-andwhite 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. It’s okay to load up to 100
sheets of this type of paper in the front tray instead of plain paper.
1. Press the POn button to turn on the RX700.
2. Load several sheets of letter-size (8.5
× 11 inch) paper in the front or back
tray, as described on page 10. Remember, you can load plain paper in either
tray—but other types of paper must be loaded in back.
3. Open the scanner lid and place your document face-down as shown.

4. 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.

your original lies flat on the glass.

■ Premium Glossy Photo Paper—available in sizes perfect for displaying in your
photo album or sharing with family and friends

a beautiful satin finish
