Loading Paper

1. Open the paper support and slide out the extensions.

You can load up to 100 sheets of plain paper and up to

20 sheets of photo or matte paper (see page 5 for capacity

guidelines on other paper types).

Note:

The type of paper you choose affects the way your printout

looks, so be sure to select the correct paper for your job. If you

are just making a copy or printing a rough draft of an image, plain

paper is fine. However, for the best results, you’ll want to use

one of Epson’s special ink jet papers designed for your printer.

For example, your photos will look great printed on Epson Ultra

Premium Photo Paper Glossy (see page 1 for more information).

2. Open the output tray and pull out the extension.

5. Slide the left edge guide against the left edge of the paper

(but not too tightly).

print (see below)

❏ Print all the photos on the card (see page 9)

❏ Print photos pre-selected on your camera using DPOF

(see page 9)

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.

For multiple index sheets, the pages containing the most

recent images are printed first. If you want to cancel

printing more sheets, press the y Cancel/Back button.

Caution:

Do not remove the card or turn off the CX7000F Series while the

memory card access light is flashing; you may lose data on the

card.

Now follow the instructions below to select which photos to

print.

Printing an Index Sheet

Selecting Photos on the Index Sheet

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 CX7000F Series automatically print the selected photos.

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).

1. Make sure your CX7000F Series is not connected to your

computer (or make sure your computer is turned off).

OK:

2. Load several sheets of letter-size, plain paper. (Use only

letter-size paper to print the index sheet.) Up to 30 images

are printed on each page, so if there are more than 30

photos on the memory card, you’ll need enough sheets for

all the index pages to be printed.

Incorrect:

3. Insert the memory card if it is not already in the slot (as

shown on the left).

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.

Note:

If you want one copy of all the photos on the index sheet, fill in

the ALL oval at the top of the page.

10/06

Epson Stylus CX7000F Series

2. Place the index sheet face-down on the glass, in the upper

left corner, so that the top of the sheet is aligned against the

left edge of the glass.

Printing All Photos or DPOF Photos

Follow the steps below to print one copy of each photo on the

card or to print only those photos that were pre-selected with

your camera’s DPOF (Digital Print Order Format) feature.

1. Load up to 100 sheets of plain paper or up to 20 sheets of

photo paper at a time (see page 4 for details.) You can load

more paper later as necessary to print all your photos.

2. Insert the memory card (see page 7 for details).

3. Press the Memory Card

button repeatedly, until the

display looks something like

3.Img:92 All/DPO

this:

Note:

If the memory card does not contain DPOF information, one copy

of all the photos on the card will be printed.

3. Close the document cover.

Note:

Don’t remove the memory card while you’re printing from an

index sheet.

4. Select Plain Paper or Photo Paper (whichever you

loaded).

4. Load up to 100 sheets of plain paper or up to 20 sheets of

photo paper at a time (see page 4 for details). You can load

Sending a Fax

If you’re sending a color fax, or a large document that fills up the

memory area, the CX7000F Series scans and faxes one page at a

time. It then asks if you want to send another page. The fax

connection stays open until you are finished.

Before you fax, place your original photo or document on the

document table glass. Then send your fax by manually

entering a fax number or redialing the previous fax number.

You can also set up and select an entry from your speed dial

list (see the Basics Guide for more information).

Receiving a Fax

The CX7000F Series automatically receives and prints faxes in

Auto Answer mode. However, you may want to receive faxes

manually if you connected the CX7000F Series and a phone

or answering machine to a phone line that also receives voice

calls. Then you can check for a fax tone from the sending fax

machine and press a button on the CX7000F Series to receive

the fax, or allow your answering machine to determine if the

call is an incoming fax.

paper size you loaded, the fax size is reduced to fit or printed on

multiple pages, depending on the Automatic Reduction setting you

select (see page 11 for details).
