Loading Paper
Epson® offers an extensive line of specialty papers that provide outstanding results
when used with Epson printers and ink. See the inside back cover for a complete
list of papers that work with your printer. If you need help making a selection, see
the Start Here sheet for some useful tips, or check online at www.epson.com.
Note:
Epson paper is designed to work with Epson printers and ink. If you use different

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. These papers provide superior yet affordable results for day-to-day business and
personal printing needs.
1. Press the POn button to turn on the RX620.
1. Load several sheets of letter-size (8.5 × 11 inch) paper, as described on page 7.

your original lies flat on the glass.

Making Prints From Slides or Negatives
You can use the film holder that came with your Stylus Photo RX620 to scan
35-mm slides or strips of negative and positive film. To get professional results that

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.
Checking the Print Head
You can print a nozzle check pattern to see if any print head nozzles are clogged, or
to check the results after cleaning the print head.
1. Press the Setup button to enter setup mode. (If you’ve just finished cleaning
the print head, the setup screen appears automatically).
2. Use the u and d buttons to select Nozzle Check, then press OK.
3. Make sure plain letter-size paper is loaded, then press OK to print the nozzle
check.
4. Examine the nozzle check pattern you printed. Each staggered line should be
solid, with no gaps, as shown.
■ If your printout looks okay, you’re done. Click Cancel to return to the
main menu.
■ If you see any gaps, as shown below, press OK. Then clean the print head
as described on page 59.

your printed colors can’t match your screen colors exactly. Try increasing your
monitor’s color palette to view a greater range of colors.
■ If you’ve removed the scanner lid to scan a thick document, try covering the
document with a heavy cloth or paper to keep out ambient light.
The scanner doesn’t recognize your image type when using Full Auto mode
in EPSON Scan.
Try scanning the image again. If that doesn’t work, scan in Home or Professional
mode.
70 Solving Problem s
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.
■ If this happens on both your screen and printout, clean the scanner glass with
a soft, dry, lint-free cloth (paper towels are not recommended). If the glass is
still not clean, use a small amount of glass cleaner on a soft cloth. Make sure
you wipe off any remaining cleaner. Don’t spray glass cleaner directly on the
glass.
■ If the line is just on your printout, you may need to clean your print head; see

Don’t use a cartridge beyond the date printed on the cartridge package. For best
results, use up the ink cartridges within six months of installing them.
Store ink cartridges in a cool, dark place. Store each ink cartridge so that the bottom
of its package faces down.
After bringing an ink cartridge inside from a cold storage site, allow it to warm up at
room temperature for at least three hours before using it.
■
■
■
Do not remove or tear the label on an ink cartridge; this can cause leakage.
Don’t dismantle cartridges or refill them; you could damage the print head.
Do not touch the green IC chip on the side of the cartridge. This may affect normal
operation and printing.
■
If you remove an ink cartridge for later use, protect the ink supply area from dirt and
store it in the same environment as the Stylus Photo RX620. There is a valve in the
ink supply port, making covers or plugs unnecessary, but care is needed to prevent the
ink from staining items that the cartridge touches. Do not touch the ink cartridge ink
supply port or surrounding area.
LCD Panel Safety Instructions
■
Use only a dry soft cloth to clean the LCD display. Don’t use liquid or chemical
cleaners.
■
■
If the LCD display is damaged, contact your dealer.
If LCD solution gets on your skin, wash it off thoroughly with soap and water. If it
gets in your eyes, flush them immediately with water.
