Note: 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).

Insert just one card at a time Memory card light

Speeding Up Printing

If you want to make a copy quickly and do not need high quality, you can print a draft copy. The print quality is reduced, but the copy is printed faster.

Printing From a Memory Card
You can print photos directly from your digital cameras memory card; just insert it into the CX4600s memory card slot and youre ready to print. If your digital camera supports DPOF (Digital Print Order Format), you can pre-select the photos you want to print while the card is still in the camera. Then, when you insert the card in the CX4600, it knows which photos to print and how many copies of each.
Note: You can print only in color when printing directly from a memory card; you cannot print in black and white.
When you want to remove the card, make sure the memory card light is not flashing, then pull the card straight out of its slot.
Caution: Do not remove the card or turn off the CX4600 while the memory card light is flashing; you may lose data on the card.

Printing an Index Sheet to Select Photos
You can print an index sheet (which is like a photographers contact or proof sheet) to see small thumbnail images of all the photos on your card. Then you mark the photos on the index sheet that you want to print, scan the sheet, and let the CX4600 automatically print the selected photos. 1. Make sure your CX4600 is not connected to your computer (or your computer is turned off). 2. Load several sheets of letter-size, plain paper. (Use only letter-size paper to print the index sheet.) Up to 30 images are printed on each page, so if there are more than 30 photos on the memory card, youll need enough sheets for all the index pages to be printed. 3. Insert the memory card if it is not already in the slot. 4. Press the Memory Card button one or more times until the Print Index Sheet light comes on. 5. Make sure Plain Paper and Letter are selected. 6. Press the x Start Color button. The On light flashes, and the CX4600 starts printing the index sheet(s). (This may take a few minutes.) For multiple index sheets, the pages are printed from the last sheet to the first, so the most recent images are printed first. Now you can follow the instructions below to select which photos to print. 3. Close the document cover. 4. Load the type of paper you want to use. Load enough sheets for the number of photos youll be printing. 5. Make sure the Print From Index Sheet light is on. If not, press the Memory Card button to turn it on. 6. Select Plain Paper or Photo Paper (whichever you loaded). If you select Plain Paper, the photo(s) print with a white border. If you select Photo Paper, the photos print borderless, to the edge of the paper. 7. Select Letter or 4x 6 for the paper size. 8. Press the x Start Color button to start printing.

Note: If you need to stop printing, press the y Stop button.
2. Place the index sheet face-down on the glass, in the upper left corner, so that the top of the sheet is aligned against the left edge of the glass.

Selecting Photos

1. Once you have printed the index sheet, use a dark pen or pencil to fill in one of the ovals beneath each photo you want to print to indicate how many copies you want (1, 2, or 3). Make sure just one oval is filled in for each selected photo and mark the sheet carefully; once it has been scanned you will not be able to change your selections.

OK: No good:

9. When you are done printing, remove the memory card by pulling it straight out of its slot.
Printing All Photos or DPOF Photos
Follow the steps below to print one copy of each photo on the card or to print only those photos that were pre-selected with your cameras DPOF feature. 1. Insert the memory card. 2. Load the type of paper you want to use. Load enough sheets for the number of photos youll be printing.
Note: If you want one copy of all the photos on the index sheet, fill in the ALL oval at the top of the page.

If the print head needs to be cleaned, follow the steps below.
Note: Print head cleaning uses ink, so clean it only if quality declines and the nozzle check indicates that the print head needs to be cleaned. Also note that if the red B ink light comes on or flashes, you cannot clean the print head. In this case, replace the appropriate ink cartridge first (as described in the next section).

Yellow

Caution: Leave the empty cartridge installed until you have obtained a replacement or the ink remaining in the print head nozzles may dry out. To ensure good results, use genuine Epson ink cartridges and do not refill them. Other products may cause damage to your CX4600 not covered by Epsons warranty.
1. Make sure the CX4600 is on. 1. Make sure the CX4600 is on and the B ink light is off. 2. Hold down the B ink button for 3 seconds until the On light starts flashing. The CX4600 runs a head cleaning cycle and the On light flashes.
Note: Never turn off the CX4600 while head cleaning is in progress. You may damage it.
2. Make sure that the document cover is closed, then open the scanner.
3. When the On light stops flashing, run a nozzle check (as described on page 10) to verify that the print head is clean. 4. If there are still gaps or the test patterns are faint, run another cleaning cycle and check the nozzles again. If you dont see any improvement after running four or five cleaning cycles, turn off the CX4600 and wait overnight. This lets any dried ink soften. Then try cleaning the print head again. If quality still does not improve, one of the ink cartridges may need to be replaced. See the next section.
Tip: If you do not use your CX4600 often, it is a good idea to print a few pages at least once a month to maintain good print quality. Caution: Do not open the scanner when the document cover is open.
