like this:  
Cleaning the Print Head  
If your printouts are unexpectedly light, colors are not correct,  
or dots or lines are missing, 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.  
If it looks correct, you’re done.  
Note:  
You can also use a printer software utility to clean the print head right  
from your computer. Select the ? or Help button on your printer  
settings window for instructions.  
If any dots or lines are missing, clean the print head  
again; see the previous steps for instructions.  
If you don’t see any improvement after cleaning three or four  
times, see the “Solving Problems” section of your online  
Reference Guide. You can also turn the Stylus Photo RX500 off  
and wait overnight—this allows any dried ink to soften—and  
then try cleaning the print head again.  
1. Make sure your Stylus Photo RX500 is turned on but not  
printing, and the ! error light is off. (If the ! error light is  
flashing or on, you may need to replace an ink cartridge; see  
the next section.)  
Caution: When you don’t turn on your Stylus Photo RX500 for a  
long time, the print quality can decline. It’s a good idea to turn it on  
at least once a month to maintain good print quality.  
2. Press the Setup button to enter setup mode. You see this

Replacing an Ink Cartridge  
If the ! error light on the EPSON Stylus Photo RX500 is  
flashing, or you see an ink cartridge error message on the LCD  
screen or computer monitor, you need to replace one of the  
cartridges. When a cartridge is more than six months old, you  
may need to replace it if printouts don’t look their best. If the  
quality doesn’t improve after cleaning and aligning the print  
head, you can replace the cartridge.  
3. Press the top left button (next to Ink levels) until you see  
Head Cleaning on the LCD screen.  
4. Press the x Color button.  
Cleaning takes about 30 seconds, during which Head  
Cleaning appears on the LCD screen.  
Caution:  
Use these ink cartridges within six months of installing them  
and before the expiration date on the package:  
Never turn off the Stylus Photo RX500 while the message Head  
Cleaning appears on the LCD screen, unless it hasn’t moved or  
made noise for more than 5 minutes.

To ensure good results, use genuine EPSON ink cartridges and do  
not refill them. Other products may cause damage to your EPSON  
Stylus Photo RX500 not covered by EPSON’s warranty.  
When you need new ink cartridges, contact your dealer. You  
can also call the EPSON Store at (800) 873-7766, or visit  
(800) 463-7766 for dealer referral.  
Warning:  
Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children. If ink gets on your  
hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets in  
your eyes, flush them thoroughly with water.

shown. Be sure to keep the scanner lid closed.  
To avoid damaging the EPSON Stylus Photo RX500, never move

You cannot print if any ink cartridge is empty. Leave the empty

The LCD screen displays the percentage of ink available in  
each cartridge: C (Cyan), M (Magenta), Y (Yellow), K  
(Black), LC (Light Cyan), and LM (Light Magenta).  
Caution:  
Never attempt to open the cartridge holder’s cover while the  
print head is moving. Wait until the cartridges have moved to the  
replacement position.

To view ink levels for all of the cartridges, wait for them to scroll  
across the LCD screen.  
3. When done, press the OK button.  
Removing and Installing Ink Cartridges  
Be sure you have a new ink cartridge before you begin. Once  
you start the ink cartridge replacement procedure, you must  
complete all the steps in one session.  
5. Identify the cartridge you need to replace. Press in the tab at  
the back of the cartridge to release it, then lift the cartridge  
straight out. Dispose of it carefully.  
1. Make sure the Stylus Photo RX500 is turned on and not  
printing.  
2. If an ink cartridge is empty:  
Check the LCD screen to see which cartridge is empty, then  
press the x Color button.  
If an ink cartridge is low:  
Press the Setup button to enter setup mode, then press the  
top left button next to the LCD screen until Replace ink  
is displayed. Finally, press the x Color button.  
Note:  
The illustration above shows the black cartridge being removed.  
Only remove the cartridge(s) you need to replace.  
6. Unwrap the new cartridge.  
Caution:  
Don’t touch the green circuit board on the front of the cartridge;  
you may inhibit normal operation and printing.

8. Close the cartridge cover.  
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.  
9. Carefully lower the scanner unit and press it down until it  
clicks into place.  
The Stylus Photo RX500 begins charging the ink delivery  
system, and Charging appears on the LCD screen. Wait for  
the message to disappear before using the Stylus Photo  
RX500.  
Caution: Never turn off the Stylus Photo RX500 while Charging  
appears on the LCD screen, unless it hasn’t moved or made noise  
for more than 5 minutes. This may cause incomplete charging of  
the ink.  
Aligning the Print Head  
If your printouts contain misaligned vertical lines, you may  
need to align the print head.  
Note:  
You can also use the buttons on the Stylus Photo RX500 to align the  
print head (see the online Reference Guide for instructions). For best  
results, we recommend you use the print head alignment utility, as  
described in this section.  
5. Examine the printout and choose the best square in each of  
the four sets. (The best square should have no visible bands,  
or the least visible bands.)  
1. Make sure the Stylus Photo RX500 is turned on and not  
printing, and the red ! error light is off.  
2. Load a stack of plain, letter-size paper in the sheet feeder.
