Place paper beneath the tabs You can load up to 100 sheets of plain paper and up to 20 sheets of photo or matte paper (see the User’s Guide for capacity guidelines on other paper types).
Copying a Photo or Document Follow the instructions in this section to: ■ Position your photos or document correctly on the glass (see below) ■ Make copies of a photo or document (see page 9) Placing the Original on the Glass 1. Open the document cover and place your original face-down on the glass, in the upper left corner. 2. Close the cover gently so you don’t move the original.
If you need to copy or scan a thick or large document, you can remove the document cover. Just open it and pull it straight up. If you need to press the document flat while you copy or scan it, do not press too hard and be careful not to move it. Note: Do not use excessive force on the document cover, and do not twist it. You may damage the document cover. When you are done, replace the document cover by inserting the tabs back into the slots.

Make sure the Epson Stylus CX6000 Series all-in-one is turned on. 2. Place the document on the glass as described on page 7. Be sure to close the document cover. 3.

Printing From a Memory Card The Epson Stylus CX6000 Series all-in-one lets you print color photos directly from your digital camera’s memory card; just insert it into a memory card slot on the CX6000 Series and you’re 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 CX6000 Series, it knows which photos to print and how many copies of each.
Compatible Cards and Image Formats You can use the following types of cards with your Epson Stylus CX6000 Series all-in-one: Right slot Slot Type of card Right slot CompactFlashTM MicrodriveTM Left slot SDTM SDHC miniSDTM* miniSDHC* microSD* microSDHC* MultiMediaCard Memory StickTM Memory Stick DuoTM* Memory Stick PROTM Memory Stick Pro DuoTM* MagicGateTM Memory Stick MagicGate Memory Stick Duo* xD-Picture Card xD-Picture Card Type H xD-Picture Card Type M Memory card access light Left slot * Adapter
Inserting the Card 1. Make sure the Epson Stylus CX6000 Series all-in-one is turned on. Note: When you print directly from a memory card, it is best if the CX6000 Series is not connected to your computer (or your computer should be turned off). If you see a message on your computer screen when you insert a card in the CX6000 Series, just cancel the operation and close the screen. 2. Open the memory card door. 3. Make sure the memory card access light is off and that no cards are in any of the slots.
When you want to remove the card, make sure the memory card access light is not flashing, then pull the card straight out of its slot. Caution: Do not remove the card or turn off the CX6000 Series while the memory card access light is flashing; you may lose data on the card. Selecting Photos From the Screen You can view the photos on your memory card on the photo viewer screen and select them for printing. 1.
Printing an Index Sheet to Select Photos You can print an index sheet (which is like a photographer’s contact or proof sheet) to see small “thumbnail” images of all the pictures on your card. Then you can mark the pictures on the index sheet that you want to print, scan the sheet, and let the Epson Stylus CX6000 Series all-in-one automatically print the selected photos. Printing the Index Sheet 1. Make sure your CX6000 Series is not connected to your computer (or your computer is turned off ). 2.
Selecting Photos on the Index Sheet 1. Once you have printed the index sheet, use a dark pen or pencil to fill in one of the circles beneath each photo you want to print to indicate how many copies you want (1, 2, or 3). OK: No good: Make sure just one circle 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.
6. Select Photo Paper, Matte Paper, or Plain Paper (whichever you loaded). Note: If you select Plain Paper, your photos print with a white border. If you select Photo Paper or Matte Paper, your photos print borderless, to the edge of the paper. 7. Select Letter, 4"x6", or 5"x7" for the paper size. 8. Press the x Start button to start printing. Note: If you need to stop printing, press the y Stop/Clear Settings button.
Note: If you need to stop printing, press the y Stop/Clear Settings button. Printing the Date on Photos You can print the date that your photos were taken on the corner of the photo. Note: The date printed on your photos is the date your photo was taken, not when it was printed. 1. Make sure your Epson Stylus CX6000 Series all-in-one is not connected to your computer (or your computer is turned off ). 2.
Printing From a Digital Camera If your camera is PictBridge- or USB DIRECT-PRINT™-compatible, you can print your JPEG photos by connecting your digital camera directly to your Epson Stylus CX6000 Series all-in-one. Your photos must be sized from 80 × 80 pixels to 9200 × 9200 pixels. 1. Make sure your CX6000 Series is not printing. 2. Remove any memory cards from the slots. 3. Load the type of paper you want to use (see page 5). Load enough sheets for the number of photos you’ll be printing. 4.
8. The Print All/PictBridge light on the CX6000 Series turns on and one of these screens appears on the photo viewer screen. 9. Select the photos you want to print with your camera. Then adjust any necessary settings and print your photo as explained in your camera manual. Note: If your camera is not compatible with PictBridge or USB DIRECT-PRINT, you see a screen like the one below. Epson cannot guarantee the compatibility of any camera.

Maintaining Your CX6000 Series All-in-One If you notice a decline in print quality, follow the instructions in this chapter for: ■ “Checking the Print Head Nozzles” (see below) ■ “Cleaning the Print Head” on page 35 ■ “Checking the Ink Cartridge Status” on page 36 ■ “Replacing Ink Cartridges” on page 37 Checking the Print Head Nozzles If your printouts are faint or have gaps in them, some of the nozzles in the print head may be clogged or ink may be running low in one or more of the ink cartridges.
Cleaning the Print Head If your printouts are unexpectedly light or faint, or you notice light or dark bands across your printout, you may need to clean the print head. This unclogs the nozzles so they can deliver ink properly. Run a nozzle check as described on page 34 to see if the print head needs cleaning. 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.
Checking the Ink Cartridge Status When an ink cartridge is low, the icon shown below is displayed on the photo viewer screen: Low ink icon When printing or copying, a bar showing which ink cartridge is low is displayed next to the low ink icon: Low ink icon and bar When an ink cartridge is expended, the following photo viewer screen is displayed: Expended cartridge To check ink cartridge status anytime, follow these steps: 1. Press the Setup/Utilities button. 2.
You can purchase genuine Epson ink and paper from an Epson authorized reseller. To find the nearest reseller, call 800-GO-EPSON (800-463-7766). Or you can purchase online at www.epsonstore.com (U.S. sales) or www.epson.ca (Canadian sales).
4. Press the x Start button again. 5. Open the cartridge cover. Caution: Never attempt to open the cartridge cover when the print head is moving. Wait until the cartridges have moved to the replacement position. 6. Squeeze the tab at the back of the cartridge and lift it straight out. Dispose of it carefully. Do not take the used cartridge apart or try to refill it. Warning: If ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with water.
7. Before you open the new ink cartridge package, shake it four or five times. Then remove it from the package. Caution: Do not touch the green chip on the front of the cartridge. This can damage the ink cartridge. 8. Remove the yellow tape from the bottom of the ink cartridge. Caution: If you do not remove the yellow tape before installing the ink cartridge, print quality may decline or you may not be able to print. Caution: Do not remove any other seals from the cartridges.
9. Place the new ink cartridge into the cartridge holder and push it down until it clicks into place. 10. Replace any other cartridges that need to be replaced. 11. Close the ink cartridge cover and press it until it clicks into place. 12. Close the scanner.
13. Press the x Start button. The CX6000 Series charges ink for about one minute and displays Charging Ink on the photo viewer screen until charging is finished. Caution: Never turn off the CX6000 Series while the Charging Ink message is displayed or you’ll waste ink. If you removed a low or expended ink cartridge, you cannot reinstall and use the cartridge.
Solving Problems If you have a problem with your Epson Stylus CX6000 Series all-in-one, check the messages on the photo viewer screen to diagnose the cause. You can also check “Problems and Solutions” on page 44 for basic troubleshooting suggestions, or double-click the User’s Guide icon on your computer desktop for more detailed help.
Screen display Cause Solution An ink cartridge is expended or not installed correctly. See page 36. An unsupported memory card is inserted. Remove the incompatible memory card; see page 13. The inserted memory card does not contain any valid images. See page 13 for a list of compatible card and image types. An index sheet was not recognized because it is not positioned correctly. Position the index sheet correctly on the glass, aligning the top of it with the left edge of the glass.
Screen display Cause Solution The paper thickness lever is set to the ^ H position. ^ H position because you are printing If you have set the lever to the envelopes, press x Start to continue. Otherwise, set the lever to the m L position. An CX6000 Series part needs to be replaced. Contact your local authorized servicer or contact Epson for a referral; see page 46. There is a problem with the CX6000 Series. Turn the CX6000 Series off and then back on.
Paper Feeding Problems ■ If paper doesn’t 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 or matte paper and 100 sheets of plain paper). See the User’s Guide for more information.
■ 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 as described on page 34 to see if the print head needs cleaning. ■ Clean the print head as described on page 35.
