After the first pattern is printed, adjust the setting, then repeat steps 4 through 6, selecting Second or Second Time to print the second pattern. 8. If you want to try a third Color Correction setting, you can repeat steps 4 through 6 again and select Third or Third Time. 9. Remove the CD or DVD and let it dry for at least 24 hours. Then check the saturation levels again. You can also use the Brightness and Contrast settings in EPSON Print CD to adjust color saturation. See the EPSON Print CD on-screen Help for instructions.
Printing a CD/DVD Without a Computer
You can use your Stylus Photo RX700 to print a colorful design directly onto a CD or DVD without using your computer.

You can further enhance your CD/DVD collection by making your own jewel case inserts. See the appropriate section below, depending on whether you want to scan an image (such as a drawing or 4 6-inch photo) or use an image from your digital cameras memory card.

1. If the Stylus Photo RX700 is connected to your computer, unplug the USB cable that connects it to your computer, or turn off your computer. 2. Make sure the Stylus Photo RX700 is turned on and the memory card containing your photos is inserted in it.

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: You cant print if an ink cartridge is empty. Leave the empty cartridge installed in the Stylus Photo RX700 until you have obtained a replacement. Otherwise the ink remaining in the print head nozzles may dry out.
Removing and Installing Ink Cartridges
Follow these steps to replace one or more ink cartridges that are outdated, low on ink, or empty. 1. Open the cartridge covers.
2. Remove the cartridge you need to replace. (Press in to release it, then pull it out of its slot.) Dispose of the cartridge carefully.
3. Unwrap the new cartridge. 4. Insert the cartridge so it clicks into place.

You may have pushed the paper down too far into the sheet feeder. Turn the Stylus Photo RX700 off and carefully remove the paper. Reload the paper against the right side, and slide the left edge guide against the paper (but not too tightly).
If paper jams in the front paper tray:
The front paper tray is designed for loading plain (photocopier) letter-size paper. Load other types or sizes of paper (such as Epson photo paper) in the rear sheet feeder. Dont push the paper in too far. Align it with the line on the yellow sticker (see page 10). Fan the stack of paper and then tap it on a desk to even the edges. Make sure the edges remain even after loading in the tray.
To clear a paper jam: If paper jams, turn off your Stylus Photo RX700, lift open the scanner section, and remove any paper thats inside, including any small pieces that may have torn off. Carefully reload paper, turn the Stylus Photo RX700 back on, and press the x Color button.
Caution: Clear paper jams by pulling the paper out of the printer in the direction that it normally feeds through the printer (towards the output tray). Never pull the paper out backwards (in the direction of the sheet feeder).

Scanning Problems

The Stylus Photo RX700 doesnt scan film or slides.
Make sure youve removed the white document mat and the film holder is positioned correctly (see page 19). Make sure the cable from the scanner lid is securely connected to the TPU port in back of the RX700.
Youre having problems scanning from your computer. If the Stylus Photo RX700 is turned on but you cannot scan, check the following:
Make sure the USB cable is securely connected to your computer and the RX700. If youre using a USB hub, try connecting the RX700 directly to your computers USB port instead.
If youre scanning from an application such as Adobe Photoshop, make sure the Stylus Photo RX700 is selected as the TWAIN source in your application.
If you see your Stylus Photo RX700 in the Windows Control Panel but you cant scan, see the on-screen Reference Guide to uninstall the software. Then follow the instructions on the Start Here sheet to reinstall it. Make sure your system meets the requirements listed in the on-screen Reference Guide. If youre scanning a large photo or at a high resolution, your computer may not have enough memory to process the image.
See your on-screen Reference Guide for additional troubleshooting advice for problems scanning from your computer.

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).

Removing and Installing Ink Cartridges
Follow these steps to replace one or more ink cartridges that are outdated, low on ink, or empty. 1. Open the cartridge covers.

Ink levels

Replacing Ink Cartridges
When you print with low ink cartridges, you see a message on the RX700 screen. Look at this icon in the upper-right corner of the Copy or Preview screens to check ink status.
When a cartridge is more than six months old, print quality may decline. If necessary, try cleaning the print head as described on page 14. If printouts still dont look their best, you may need to replace the cartridge.
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.

Checking the Ink Supply

To check your ink supply, do the following: 1. Press the Setup button. 2. Use the u and d buttons to select Ink Levels. 3. Press the OK button. You see a graphic showing the amount of ink available in each cartridge: B (Black) C (Cyan), LC (Light Cyan), M (Magenta), LM (Light Magenta), and Y (Yellow). 4. When youre done checking the ink levels, press the OK button. When your ink starts getting low, make sure you have replacement cartridges available. You cant print if a cartridge is empty.
Caution: Leave the empty cartridge installed until you have obtained a replacement, or ink remaining in the print head nozzles may dry out.

2. Remove the cartridge you need to replace. (Press in to release it, then pull it out of its slot.) Dispose of the cartridge carefully.

Aligning the Print Head

If your printouts have vertical lines that appear jagged, you may need to align the print head. 1. Make sure plain letter-size paper is loaded in the front tray (see page 4). 2. Press the Setup button, select Head Alignment, then press the OK button. 3. Press OK again to print the alignment pattern.

Transporting the RX700

If you move your RX700 some distance, you need to prepare it for transportation in its original box or one of a similar size.
Caution: To avoid damage, always leave the ink cartridges installed when transporting the RX700. Never transport or store the RX700 on its side or in a tilted or upside-down position.
1. Press the P On button to turn off the RX700. Wait until the Ppower light turns off, then unplug the RX700 from the electrical outlet and disconnect the USB cable from your computer. 2. Open the scanner lid and slide the transportation lock to the locked position. Then close the scanner lid.
Caution: Be sure to move the transportation lock back to the unlocked position after installing the RX700 in its new location.
3. Remove any paper from the RX700. Then close the paper output tray, CD/DVD guide, front paper tray, and rear sheet feeder. 4. Repack the RX700 and in its original box (or equivalent) using the protective materials that came with it.

Caution: Keep the RX700 level as you transport it.
4. Examine the printout. For each section (#1 through #4), circle the box with the least amount of streaking (light or dark vertical lines). You may need to use a magnifying glass or loupe. 5. On the RX700 screen, use the l and r buttons to select the number of the circled box in section #1. 6. Press the d button to highlight each of the remaining sections (#2, #3, and #4), and use the l and r buttons to select the circled number for each one. 7. Press OK when done. 8. You see a message that head alignment is complete. Press OK to return to the Setup menu.
After transporting the RX700, unlock the transportation lock and print a test copy. If you notice a decline in quality, clean the print head (see page 14); if output is misaligned, align the print head (see Aligning the Print Head on this page).
