This chapter gives you guidelines on: ■ “Loading Paper in the Sheet Feeder” below ■ “Storing Your Photos” on page 12 Loading Paper in the Sheet Feeder 1. Open the paper support and raise the extension. 2. Place your paper short edge first against the right edge of the feeder, under the tab, with the printable (whiter or glossier) side up.
You should also follow these guidelines: ■ Always load the short edge first, even when you’re printing landscape-oriented pictures. ■ When using special papers, check the paper package for additional instructions. Some papers require using a support sheet included in the package. Note: Always keep unused paper in the original package and store it flat to prevent curling. For instructions on loading special papers and envelopes in the printer, see your on-screen Reference Guide.
Accessing Photos Follow the instructions in these sections to access your photos: ■ “Inserting Memory Cards” below ■ “Connecting External Devices” on page 14 ■ “Copying Photos to Your Computer” on page 17 Inserting Memory Cards 1. Press the P Power button to turn on your Stylus Photo R320. 2. Open the memory card door. 3. Insert the memory card into one of the three slots, as shown below.

Make sure the card light is not flashing, then pull the card straight out of the slot. Card light Caution: Do not remove a card while the card light is flashing; you may lose photos on your card.
When you connect a digital camera or storage device, the printer treats it like a memory card. Follow these steps to connect it: 1. Remove any memory cards from the printer. If you leave a card in the printer, images will be read from the card instead of your camera or storage device. 2. Connect the USB cable from your camera or storage device to the EXT I/F USB port on the front of the printer. Some digital cameras require a special USB cable; if so, be sure to use the one that came with the camera. 3.
Saving Your Photos to an External Device If you don’t have a computer, you can save photos that are on your camera’s memory card to an external device that you connect directly to your printer. This lets you delete the images on your memory card and reuse it without losing your original photos. Follow the steps below to save your photos to a Zip disk, CD-R, DVD-R, or thumb drive: Note: Epson cannot guarantee the compatibility of any cameras or drives.

Maintaining Your Printer This chapter describes maintenance procedures to keep your printer working its best and preparation steps for moving your printer.
Cleaning the Print Head If your printouts are unexpectedly light or faint, or dots or lines are missing from the image, you may need to clean the print head. This unclogs the nozzles so they can deliver ink properly. Print head cleaning uses ink, so clean it only if quality declines. You can clean the print head either from the printer’s control panel or using your printer software.
If you don’t see any improvement after cleaning three or four times, check the solutions beginning on page 64. You can also turn the printer off and wait overnight—this allows any dried ink to soften—and then try cleaning the print head again. Replacing an Ink Cartridge You can check the status of the ink cartridges by looking at the icons on the control panel. Press the to highlight More Options. Ink cartridge levels The level of ink shown on the icons indicates the approximate amount of ink remaining.
Use these Epson ink cartridges within six months of installing them and before the expiration date on the package: Cartridge Part number Black T0481 Cyan T0482 Magenta T0483 Yellow T0484 Light Cyan T0485 Light Magenta T0486 When you need new ink cartridges, contact your dealer or call the Epson Store at (800) 873-7766, or visit www.epsonstore.com (U.S. sales only). In Canada, please call (800) 463-7766 for dealer referral.
4. Open the cartridge cover. 5. Press in the tab on the back of the cartridge and lift the cartridge out of the printer. Dispose of it carefully. Warning: Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and do not drink the ink. If ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets in your eyes, flush them thoroughly with water. 6. Unwrap the new ink cartridge. Caution: Don’t touch the green circuit board or remove any labels.
7. Lower the cartridge into the holder, with the green circuit board facing the front. Then gently push the cartridge down until it clicks into place. 8. If you need to replace another ink cartridge, repeat steps 5 through 7 before continuing with step 9. 9. Close the ink cartridge cover. 10. Press OK and close the printer cover. The printer begins charging the ink delivery system. 11. When you see a message that charging is complete (after about a minute), press OK.
Aligning the Print Head If your printouts contain misaligned vertical lines or horizontal banding, you may need to align the print head. You can align the print head either from the printer’s control panel or using your printer software. To align the print head from the printer software, the printer must be connected directly to your computer (not over a network); see your on-screen Reference Guide for details.
Cleaning the Printer To keep your printer working at its best, you should clean it several times a year. Follow these steps: 1. Turn off the printer, unplug the power cord, and disconnect the printer cable. 2. Remove all paper, then use a soft brush to clean any dust or dirt from the sheet feeder. 3. Clean the exterior of the printer with a soft, damp cloth. 4. Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the LCD screen and preview monitor. Do not use liquid or chemical cleaners on these parts. 5.
Transporting the Printer If you move your printer 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 printer. 1. Turn on the printer, wait until the print head locks in the far right position, then turn off the printer. 2. Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet. Then disconnect the printer cable from the printer. 3.

Setup or Software Installation Problems The printer makes noise after ink cartridge installation. ■ The first time you install ink cartridges, the printer must charge its print head for about two minutes. Wait until charging finishes before you turn off the printer, or it may charge improperly and use excess ink the next time you turn it on. ■ Make sure the ink cartridge cover is closed completely and no packing material remains in the printer.
Printer Problems The printer is on, but nothing prints. ■ If you’re printing from your computer, make sure the USB cable is connected securely and that the cable meets the system requirements on page 75. ■ If you’re printing from your computer, run a printer check as described on page 62. If the check page prints, make sure your software is installed correctly. ■ If you’re printing on a network, you need to set up your printer for network printing, as described in your on-screen Reference Guide.
■ In the Advanced options, turn MicroWeave® off and/or turn High Speed on. ■ If your printer is connected to a hub, disconnect USB devices that you’re not using. Note: Borderless printing takes longer than normal, especially near the edges of the paper. Printing without a computer is also a bit slower. ■ If you are printing a landscape photo without a computer, it takes longer for the printer to rotate and process the image. Your memory card does not work correctly.
■ The ink cartridges may need replacing. To replace an ink cartridge, see page 51. ■ Run the Print Head Alignment utility; see page 55 for instructions. Your printout is blurry or smeared. ■ Use Epson papers to ensure proper saturation and absorption of genuine Epson inks. ■ Make sure you load paper with the printable side face up. The printable side is usually the whiter or brighter side of the paper.
Your printout is faint or has gaps in the image. ■ The print head nozzles may need cleaning; see page 50 for instructions. ■ The ink cartridges may be old or low on ink. To replace an ink cartridge, see page 51. ■ If you’re printing without a computer, make sure the printer’s Paper Type setting matches the type of paper you’re using; see page 22 for guidelines.
Problems With Paper Feeding Paper doesn’t eject fully or is wrinkled. ■ If the paper doesn’t eject fully, you may have set the wrong paper size. Press the b Maintenance button to eject the paper, then select the correct paper size. ■ If it’s wrinkled when it ejects, the paper may be damp or too thin. Paper doesn’t feed correctly or jams in the printer. ■ Make sure the paper support extension is pulled up.
■ Make sure you’re using ink jet-printable CDs or DVDs. ■ Handle the disc carefully and allow the ink to dry for at least 24 hours before playing the disc or inserting it in a drive. Printed CDs or DVDs are smeared or dirty. Clean the roller; see page 42. The CD or DVD won’t feed into the printer. Make sure you hold the CD/DVD tray level as you load it into the tray guide, not tilting it up or down. Don’t push in the tray too far, but line up the arrows exactly as described on page 43.
Image size or position is incorrect. ■ Make sure paper and layout options are set correctly. ■ Your images may not match the width/height proportions (aspect ratio) of the paper size or layout you’re using. Images may be cropped to fit the paper and layout. You see incorrect characters. ■ Make sure the USB cable is securely connected and meets the system requirements on page 75. Then try printing again.
