Loading Paper 7

You can load up to 100 sheets of 17 lb plain paper or up to 20 sheets of photo paper. See the Users 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, youll want to use one of Epsons special ink jet papers designed for your printer. For example, your photos will look great printed on Epson Premium Glossy Photo Paper. See page 29 for details.

Problems and Solutions

Check the solutions below if you have trouble using your Epson Stylus CX5800F.

Copying Problems

Make sure your original is positioned in the top left corner of the glass. Place it 0.04 inch (1 mm) from the edges to avoid cropping. Make sure your paper is loaded short edge first and is positioned against the right edge guide with the left edge guide against its left side. Dont load paper above the arrow mark inside the left edge guide.

Solving Problems 57

Faxing Problems
If you have problems sending a fax, make sure the phone cable is connected correctly and verify that the phone line works by connecting a phone to it. Also make sure that your recipients fax machine is turned on and working. If you have problems receiving a fax, make sure paper is loaded, the phone cable is connected correctly, and the phone line works. To automatically receive faxes, make sure you see a Y on the first screen display. (See page 41 for details.) If you see Receiving on the display but nothing prints, the fax data may be too large. Tell the sender to resend the fax in smaller sections. If you connected the Epson Stylus CX5800F to a DSL phone line, you must install a DSL filter to the line or you wont be able to fax. Contact your DSL provider for the necessary filter. If your phone line has static or other noise problems, turn off the ECM (Error Correction Mode) setting and try faxing again. See page 34 for details.

Paper Feeding Problems

If paper doesnt feed, remove it from the sheet feeder. Flip through the stack to separate the sheets a little. Then reload the paper against the right edge guide, and slide the left edge guide against the paper (but not too tightly). Make sure the paper is not in front of the feeder guard. Do not load too many sheets at once (up to 20 sheets of photo paper or 100 sheets of plain paper). See the Users Guide for more information. If paper is jammed, you see a paper jam message on the display. Follow these steps to clear the jam: 1. Press the OK button to eject the jammed paper. If the jammed paper is not ejected, go to the next step. 2. If the paper is stuck near the sheet feeder or output tray, gently pull it out. If the paper is stuck inside the Epson Stylus CX5800F, press the P On button to turn it off. Open the scanner and remove any paper inside, including any torn pieces. Do not pull it backward however; this can damage the sheet feeder. Close the scanner, then turn the Epson Stylus CX5800F back on.

58 Solving Problems

Print Quality Problems
If you have any problems with the copy or print quality, try these solutions:
Make sure the document is placed flat against the document table glass and the Epson Stylus CX5800F is not tilted or placed on an uneven surface. Load the paper printable side up (usually the whiter, brighter, or glossy side). Make sure your paper isnt damp or curled. Use a support sheet with special paper or load your paper one sheet at a time. Remove sheets from the output tray as they are printed. Make sure the type of paper you loaded matches the paper size and paper type settings on the control panel or in your printer software. See page 29 for details. For the best print quality, use Epson special paper (see page 29) and genuine Epson ink cartridges (see page 50). Set the paper thickness lever to the m L position for most paper types. If you are printing on envelopes, set the lever to the ^ H position. If you notice light or dark bands across your printouts or they are too faint, you may need to clean the print head. This unclogs the nozzles so they can deliver ink properly. Run a nozzle check to see if the print head needs cleaning. See page 47 for details. Clean the print head. See page 48 for details. If you notice jagged vertical lines, you may need to align the print head. See your Users Guide for instructions. The ink cartridges may be old or low on ink. See page 50 for instructions on replacing an ink cartridge. If a dotted line appears in the image, clean the document table glass with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth (paper towels are not recommended), or use a small amount of glass cleaner on a soft cloth, if necessary. Dont spray glass cleaner directly on the glass.

Be sure to follow all warnings and instructions marked on the Epson Stylus CX5800F. Use only the type of power source indicated on the Epson Stylus CX5800F label. Use only the power cord that comes with the Epson Stylus CX5800F. Use of another cord may cause fires or shock. Do not use the cord with any other equipment. Place the Epson Stylus CX5800F near a wall outlet where the plug can be easily unplugged. Placez limprimante prs dune prise de contacte o la fiche peut tre dbranche facilement. Do not let the power cord become damaged or frayed. If you use an extension cord with the Epson Stylus CX5800F, make sure the total ampere rating of the devices plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the cords ampere rating. Also, make sure the total ampere rating of all devices plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed the wall outlets ampere rating. Avoid locations that are subject to rapid changes in heat or humidity, shocks or vibrations, or dust. Leave enough room around the Epson Stylus CX5800F for sufficient ventilation. Do not block or cover openings in the Epson Stylus CX5800F case or insert objects through the slots. Do not place the Epson Stylus CX5800F near a radiator or heating vent or in direct sunlight. Place the Epson Stylus CX5800F on a flat, stable surface that extends beyond its base in all directions. It will not operate properly if it is tilted or at an angle. Make sure the back of the Epson Stylus CX5800F is at least 3.9 inches (10 cm) away from the wall. Do not open the scanner section while the Epson Stylus CX5800F is copying, printing, or scanning.

Notices 61

Except as specifically explained in your documentation, do not attempt to service the Epson Stylus CX5800F yourself. Unplug the Epson Stylus CX5800F and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions: if the power cord or plug is damaged; if liquid has entered the product; if the product has been dropped or the case damaged; if the product does not operate normally or exhibits a distinct change in performance. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions. When storing or transporting the Epson Stylus CX5800F, do not tilt it, stand it on its side, or turn it upside down; otherwise ink may leak from the cartridge.
Ink Cartridge Safety Instructions
Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and do not drink the ink. Be careful when you handle used ink cartridges; there may be ink remaining around the ink supply port. If ink gets on your skin, wash it off with soap and water. If it gets in your eyes, flush them immediately with water. Do not put your hand inside the Epson Stylus CX5800F or touch any cartridges during printing. Install a new ink cartridge immediately after removing an empty one. Leaving cartridges uninstalled can dehydrate the print head and may prevent the Epson Stylus CX5800F from printing. If you remove an ink cartridge for later use, protect the ink supply area from dirt and dust and store it in the same environment as the Epson Stylus CX5800F. Note that there is a valve in the ink supply port, making covers or plugs unnecessary, but care is needed to prevent the ink from staining items that the cartridge touches. Do not touch the ink cartridge ink supply port or surrounding area.
