Copying You can use your Epson Stylus® Photo RX620 to copy materials such as newspaper clippings, scrapbooking elements, and 4 × 6 photos, without using a 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.
2. Flip the feeder guard forward. Feeder guard 3. Slide the edge guide to the left. 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 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.
Copying Text and Graphics Here’s how to copy materials that include a combination of text and graphics. You 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.
4. Press the Copy button. You see this screen: Confirm the layout setting at the top of the screen (see step 5 below) Arrow buttons Note: The RX620 retains the last settings you used, so always check them to make sure they’re the ones you want to copy with. 5. Check the layout setting at the top of the screen and make sure Borderless Copy does not appear. You cannot make plain paper copies using a borderless layout (it’s only for printing on selected types of Epson photo paper).
Copying a Photo To print long-lasting photos with a professional finish, choose an Epson paper specially designed for printing photos. Many different sizes and paper types are available (see the inside back cover). To print beautiful photos without white borders around the edges, try using a borderless layout (available only when printing on 4 × 6-inch, 5 × 7-inch, 8 × 10-inch, and letter-size Epson paper). 1. Load your paper, then place your original on the scanner glass (see page 9). 2.

Removing a Memory Card Once you’re finished copying photos from your memory card, follow the steps below to prepare your computer before removing it. Be sure to remove any cards before unplugging the USB cable from your RX620. Caution: Do not eject a card while the memory card light is flashing, or without performing the steps described below, or you may lose data on the card. Be sure all cards have been removed before unplugging the USB cable. 1.
Maintaining Your RX620 If you notice a decline in print quality, follow the instructions in this chapter to check and clean the print head. You’ll also find instructions on checking ink levels, replacing ink cartridges, and aligning the print head.
When your ink starts getting low, make sure you have replacement cartridges available. You can’t print if a cartridge is empty. Purchasing Ink Cartridges Use these Epson ink cartridges within six months of installing them and before the expiration date: Color Part number Black T048120 Cyan T048220 Magenta T048320 Yellow T048420 Light Cyan T048520 Light Magenta T048620 Note: A color ink multipack is also available (T048920).
Removing and Installing Ink Cartridges Be sure you have a new ink cartridge before you begin. Once you start replacing a cartridge, you must complete all the steps in one session. 1. If an ink cartridge is empty: Look at the message the RX620 screen to find out which cartridge is empty, then press the OK button. If an ink cartridge is low: Look at the icon in the upper right corner of the RX620 screen to see which cartridge is low or check the ink levels as described on page 53.
4. Remove the cartridge you need to replace. Press in the tab in back of the cartridge to release it, then lift the cartridge straight out. Dispose of it carefully. Note: The illustration above shows the black cartridge being removed. Only remove the cartridge(s) you need to replace. 5. Unwrap the new cartridge. 6. Insert the new cartridge into the holder. Press down firmly until it clicks into place.
7. Close the ink cartridge holder, then close the scanner section. Caution: If you find it difficult to close the cover, make sure all the cartridges are firmly seated. Press down on each newly installed cartridge until you hear it click into place. Do not attempt to force the cover closed. The Stylus Photo RX620 begins charging the ink delivery system and the Ink Charging message appears on the screen. When you see Ink cartridge replacement is completed, click OK.
Checking and Cleaning and Print Head If your printouts are unexpectedly light, colors are missing, or you see light or dark lines across the page, you may need to clean the print head. This clears the print head nozzles, which can become clogged if you don’t use the printer for a long time. Tip: It’s a good idea to turn on your RX620 at least once a month to maintain good print quality.
Cleaning the Print Head Follow these steps to clean the print head so it can deliver ink properly. Print head cleaning uses ink, so clean it only if quality declines. Note: You can also clean the print head using the printer software. Click the ? or Help button on your printer settings screen for instructions on running the print head cleaning utility. 1. Make sure the Stylus Photo RX620 is turned on but not printing. 2. Press the Setup button to enter setup mode. 3.
5. Examine the printout. For each row (#1 through #4), circle the vertical lines that are most precisely printed on top of each other. You may need to use a magnifying glass or loupe. . 6. On the RX620 screen, enter the number for the circled line in the first row by pressing the l and r buttons. 7. Press OK, then enter the numbers for the circled lines in each of the remaining rows in the same way. 8. When you’re done, you see a Head alignment completed message. Press OK to return to the Setup Menu.
Solving Problems If you have a problem with your Stylus Photo RX620, check the messages on the RX620 screen, run a nozzle check (see page 58), or see “Problems and Solutions” below. See these sections: ■ “Problems and Solutions” below ■ “Where To Get Help” on page 72 Problems and Solutions Check the solutions below if you’re having trouble using your RX620. Setup and Software Installation Problems Tip: It’s a good idea to check Epson’s web site periodically for possible updates to your software.
The Stylus Photo RX620 makes noise after ink cartridge installation. ■ When you install ink cartridges, the Stylus Photo RX620 must charge its ink delivery system. Wait until it’s finished (the Charging message disappears from the RX620 screen), then turn it off. If it’s turned off early, it may use extra ink the next time you turn it on. ■ Make sure the ink cartridges are seated securely and no packing material remains in the Stylus Photo RX620.
Printing and Copying Problems The Stylus Photo RX620 is on, but nothing prints. ■ Make sure the USB cable is securely connected at both ends. ■ If you’re using a USB hub, try connecting the Stylus Photo RX620 directly to your computer’s USB port instead. ■ Run a nozzle check as described on page 58. If the check page prints, make sure your Stylus Photo RX620 software is installed correctly.
The margins are incorrect. ■ Make sure the paper size settings are correct for the paper you’ve loaded. ■ Choose the correct margins for your paper size. ■ Make sure your paper is positioned on the right side of the sheet feeder with the left edge guide lightly against the paper. Do not load too many sheets of paper at a time (don’t go past the arrow mark on the left edge guide).
■ If you see your Stylus Photo RX620 in the Windows Control Panel, but you can’t scan, uninstall and reinstall its software. See the on-screen Reference Guide to uninstall the software, then follow the installation instructions on the Start Here sheet. The Stylus Photo RX620 scanning software doesn’t work properly. ■ Make sure your system meets the requirements listed in the on-screen Reference Guide. ■ Check if your computer has enough memory for your software.
■ If paper jams, turn off your Stylus Photo RX620, lift open the scanner section, and remove any paper that’s inside, including any small pieces that may have torn off. Carefully reload paper, turn the RX620 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).
■ The ink cartridges may need replacing; see page 53. ■ Align the print head; see page 59 for instructions. Your printout is blurry or smeared. ■ Make sure your paper isn’t damp, curled, or loaded face down (the printable side should be face up). Load new paper face-up. ■ Use a support sheet with special paper or try loading your paper one sheet at a time. ■ Align the print head; see page 59 for instructions. ■ Use Epson papers for proper saturation and absorption of genuine Epson inks.
Your printout is grainy. ■ Use a higher quality paper or select a higher Quality Type or Print Quality in your printer software. If you’re copying without a computer, use the control panel buttons to select Best Photo as the quality setting. ■ Align the print head; see page 59 for instructions. ■ Increase the image resolution or print it in a smaller size; see your software documentation. You see wrong or missing colors.
The image size or position is incorrect. Make sure the paper and/or layout options are set correctly. Click the ? or Help button on your printer settings window for more information. If you’re copying without a computer, check the layout settings on the RX620 screen. The image is inverted, as if viewed in a mirror. Turn off Mirror Image in the printer software or the mirror setting in your application software. If you’re copying without a computer, check the RX620 screen to make sure Mirror is not selected.
Your image is too dark. ■ Try adjusting the brightness with your application software. Also check the brightness and contrast values of your monitor. ■ The dark frame around negative film is perceived as white, altering the exposure of the scan and causing it to appear darker. Set the correct color by adjusting the border (marquee) so only your photo is selected. Then scan again. Click Help in the EPSON Scan window for details.
The file size is too big. Adjust your scan settings. Try selecting a lower resolution (dpi), saving the file in a different format, or scanning only part of the image. Typically, 300 dpi is adequate for images that will be printed. The printed image is larger or smaller than the original size. You have changed the resolution or scaled your image. The image size settings in your software determine the size of the printed image. A dotted line appears in the image.
