6 Introduction  
Loading Paper  
The type of paper you choose affects the way your printouts look, so make sure  
you select the correct paper for your job. If you are just making a copy or printing  
a rough draft, plain paper is fine.  
However, for the best results, use one of Epson’s special ink jet papers designed for  
your printer. For example, photos look great printed on Epson® Ultra Premium  
Photo Paper Glossy. See page 10 for a list of Epson papers and ordering  
information.  
1. Open the paper support, then pull up the extension.  
2. Open the front cover.

Note:  
If the hinged feeder guard is in the way, flip it forward.

Storing and Displaying Your Prints  
With proper care, photographs from your RX580 will last for many years. The  
special Epson Clariainks designed for your printer provide the ultimate  
combination of photo quality and longevity when used with Epson papers for  
prints that are properly displayed or stored. For best results, always use Epson  
papers.  
As with traditional photos, Epson recommends proper care that will minimize  
color changes and lengthen display life:  
Frame prints under glass or a protective plastic sleeve to protect them from  
atmospheric contaminants like humidity, smoke, and high levels of ozone.  
As with all photographs, keep your prints away from direct sunlight.  
Keep your prints away from high temperature.  
For proper storage, keep your prints in a photo album or plastic photo storage  
box in acid-free, archival sleeves commonly available from most camera stores.  
Always keep unused paper in the original package.

Touching Up Your Photos  
Your RX580 lets you correct the color and improve your photos without using a  
computer. PhotoEnhance automatically corrects under- or over-exposure,  
enhances skin tones, and sharpens scenery.  
For example, if the subject of your photo is too dark because of a bright  
background (backlighting), PhotoEnhance can adjust the lighting so that the  
person’s face is brighter in the printout. (This adjustment works best when faces  
take up a significant portion of the photo with both eyes visible.)  
Note:  
These settings apply to all selected photos and affect only your printed pictures. They  
do not change your original image files, and they are not reflected on the RX580 screen.  
Removing Red-Eye

44 Printing From a Camera, PDA, or Phone  
Printing on CDs and DVDs  
Your RX580 includes a special tray that lets you print your photos directly on ink  
jet-printable CDs or DVDs—without using a computer.  
You can also use the Epson Print CD software that came with your RX580 to add  
text and modify your designs with a variety of special effects. For instructions on  
using Epson Print CD on your computer, see your on-screen User’s Guide.  
Caution:  
Use only ink jet-printable CDs or DVDs for printing. Thermal-printable and standard CDs  
and DVDs should not be used with the RX580. You can print directly on standard-size  
12-cm CDs without a computer, and on both standard CDs and 8-cm mini CDs with  
your computer.  
Follow the steps in these sections to print on CDs and DVDs:  
“Measuring Your CDs/DVDs” below  
“Inserting a CD or DVD” on page 46  
“Printing Photos on a CD or DVD” on page 48  
“Copying onto a CD/DVD” on page 51  
“Returning the Front Tray to the Paper Position” on page 54  
“Printing a CD/DVD Jewel Case Insert” on page 55  
Measuring Your CDs/DVDs  
Before you print on CDs or DVDs, you need to measure the printable surface of  
the discs you are printing on. You can then set the inner (hub) and outer  
dimensions before you print. This prevents ink stains on the CD/DVD tray,  
which might be caused by printing on the non-coated areas of the CD or DVD.  
Printing on CDs and DVDs 45  
Use a millimeter ruler to measure the inner and outer dimensions as shown:  
Outer  
Inner  
See page 50 for instructions on adjusting the dimensions.  
Inserting a CD or DVD  
Make sure the data, music, or video is burned on your ink jet-printable CDs or  
DVDs before you print. Otherwise, dirt or scratches on the surface may cause  
errors when you burn the data.  
If you plan to print large numbers of CDs or DVDs, it’s a good idea to print a  
small sample and check the quality to make sure it is satisfactory.

Maintaining Your RX580  
If you notice a decline in print quality or your ink is expended, follow the  
instructions in this chapter for:  
“Checking the Print Head Nozzles” (see below)  
“Cleaning the Print Head” on page 70  
“Replacing Ink Cartridges” on page 71  
Aligning the Print Head” on page 77  
Checking the Print Head Nozzles  
If your printouts are faint or have light or dark lines running through them, some  
of the nozzles in the print head may be clogged. Follow the steps below to check  
the print head nozzles.  
1. Make sure the Epson Stylus Photo RX580 is turned on but not printing.  
2. Load letter-size plain paper.  
3. Press the Setup button.  
4. Press l or r to select Maintenance, then press OK.  
5. Make sure Nozzle Check is highlighted, then press OK.  
Maintaining Your RX580 69  
6. Press the x Start button. The nozzle check pattern prints:  
Print head does  
not need to be  
cleaned:  
Print head needs  
to be cleaned:  
7. If there are no gaps in the pattern, the print head doesn’t need to be cleaned.  
Press OK to return to the Maintenance menu.  
If there are gaps in the pattern, skip to step 6 below to clean the print head.  
Note:  
You can also check the nozzles with software when connected to a computer; see your  
on-screen User’s Guide for details.  
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 69 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.  
1. Make sure your RX580 is turned on but not printing, and the ink is not low  
in any cartridges.  
(If ink is low, you need to replace an ink cartridge before cleaning the print  
head; see page 71 to check ink levels, or see page 73 to replace a cartridge.)  
2. Load a few sheets of letter-size plain paper.  
3. Press the Setup button.  
4. Press l or r to select Maintenance, then press OK.  
5. Press d to select Head Cleaning, then press OK.  
6. Press the x Start button to begin cleaning the print head.  
70 Maintaining Your RX580  
The RX580 runs a head cleaning cycle and a message appears on the RX580  
screen. Cleaning takes approximately 30 seconds.  
Caution:  
Never turn off the RX580 while head cleaning is in progress, or you may damage it.  
7. When cleaning finishes, press the x Start button. The RX580 prints a test  
pattern like the one on page 69.  
8. If there are no gaps in the pattern, press OK to return to the Maintenance  
menu. If there are gaps in the pattern, press x Start to clean the print head  
again.  
If you don’t see any improvement after cleaning four or five times, see page 78.  
You can also turn the printer off and wait at least 6 hours or overnight. This  
lets any dried ink soften. Then try cleaning the print head again.  
Tip:  
If you do not use your RX580 often, it is a good idea to print a few pages at least once a  
month to maintain good print quality.  
Replacing Ink Cartridges  
When you print with low or expended ink cartridges, you see a message on the  
RX580 screen. You can check which cartridge is low or needs to be replaced.  
Note:  
When a cartridge has been installed for more than six months, 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 even if the ink is not low.  
Checking Ink Cartridge Status  
1. Press the Setup button.  
2. Press l or r to select Ink Cartridge Status, then press OK. You see a screen  
showing the status of the cartridges:  
Replacing Ink Cartridges 71  
The cartridges are identified as follows: Y (Yellow), B (Black), LC (Light  
Cyan), LM (Light Magenta), M (Magenta), C (Cyan).  
If you want to replace the ink cartridge, press l or r to select Change  
Cartridge, then press OK. See page 73 for instructions.  
3. When you are done checking the ink cartridge status, press OK.  
4. Press OK to return to the previous screen.  
When your ink starts getting low, make sure you have replacement cartridges  
available. You cannot print if a cartridge is expended.

To find the nearest reseller, call 800-GO-EPSON (800-463-7766). Or you can  
sales).  
Removing and Installing Ink Cartridges  
Be sure you have a new ink cartridge before you begin. Once you start replacing a  
cartridge, you must complete all the steps in one session.  
Caution:  
Leave the expended cartridge installed until you have obtained a replacement, or the ink  
remaining in the print head nozzles may dry out. To ensure good results, use genuine  
Epson ink cartridges and do not refill them. Other products may cause ink spills or other  
damage to your RX580 not covered by Epson’s warranty.  
Do not open ink cartridge packages until you are ready to install the ink. Cartridges are  
vacuum packed to maintain reliability.  
1. Make sure the RX580 is turned on, the CD/DVD tray is not inserted, and the  
front tray is in the paper (lower) position.

4. Open the cartridge cover.  
Caution:  
Never attempt to open the cartridge cover while the print head is moving. Wait until  
the cartridges have moved to the replacement position. To avoid damaging the  
RX580, never move the print head by hand.  
5. 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. If discomfort or vision problems  
continue after a thorough flushing, see a doctor immediately.  
6. Remove the new ink cartridge from the package.  
Caution:  
Be careful not to break the hooks on the side of the ink cartridge when you remove  
it from the package.  
Always install an ink cartridge immediately after removing the old cartridge. If the  
cartridge is not installed promptly, the print head may dry out and be unable to  
print.  
Do not touch the green chip on the side of the cartridge. This  
can damage the ink cartridge.  
74 Maintaining Your RX580  
7. Remove the yellow tape from the bottom of the ink cartridge.  
Caution:  
You must remove the yellow tape from the cartridge before you install it;  
otherwise, print quality may decline or you may not be able to print. If you have  
installed an ink cartridge without removing the yellow tape, take the cartridge  
out of the printer, remove the yellow tape, and then reinstall it.  
Do not remove the transparent seal from the bottom of the cartridge; otherwise,  
the cartridge may become unusable.  
Do not remove or tear the label on the cartridge; otherwise, ink will leak.  
8. Place the new ink cartridge into the holder and push it down until it clicks  
into place.  
9. Replace any other cartridges that need to be replaced.  
Replacing Ink Cartridges 75  
10. Close the ink cartridge cover and press it until it clicks into place.  
11. Close the scanner unit.  
12. Press OK. The RX580 begins charging ink (for about one minute).  
Caution:  
Never turn off the RX580 while ink is charging or you’ll waste ink.  
Note:  
You cannot continue printing or copying with one ink cartridge expended, even if  
the other cartridges still contain ink. Before printing, replace the expended  
cartridge.  
The RX580 uses ink cartridges equipped with IC chips that monitor the amount of  
ink used by each cartridge. Cartridges are usable even if they are removed and  
reinserted. Some ink is consumed each time cartridges are inserted, however,  
because the printer automatically checks their reliability.  
If you remove a cartridge that is low (for which you have received an “Ink low”  
message), and you temporarily install a new cartridge in its place, you cannot reuse  
the low cartridge.  
Ink is consumed during the following operations: print head cleaning, self-cleaning  
(when the printer is turned on), and ink charging (when an ink cartridge is installed).  
76 Maintaining Your RX580  
Aligning the Print Head  
If your prints look grainy or blurry, or you notice that vertical lines are not aligned  
properly on the nozzle check pattern, you may need to align the print head.  
Note:  
Make sure the front tray is in the paper (lower) position and the CD/DVD tray is not  
inserted.  
1. Make sure the RX580 is turned on and not printing.  
2. Load several sheets of plain, letter-size paper.  
3. Press the Setup button.  
4. Press l or r to select Maintenance, then press OK.  
5. Press u or d to select Head Alignment, then press OK.  
6. Press the x Start button. Four rows of alignment patterns are printed.

Problems and Solutions  
Check the solutions below if you’re having trouble using your RX580.  
Noise Problems  
The first time you install ink cartridges, the printer must charge its print head  
for about 2 minutes. Wait until charging finishes (when you see the message  
“Initialization is complete”) before you turn off the RX580, or it may charge  
improperly and use excess ink the next time you turn it on.  
Turn off the RX580, then make sure the ink cartridges are inserted completely  
and the ink cartridge cover is closed completely. Also make sure no packing  
material remains inside. Wait a moment, then turn the RX580 back on.  
Problems and Solutions 79  
Screen Problems  
If the screen is black, press any button to activate the RX580. Then press the  
button for the feature you want to use.  
If you don’t see your photos on the screen, make sure they are in JPEG or  
uncompressed TIFF format and taken with a DCF-compliant camera. If you  
have used the RX580 to back up photos on a USB storage device, the RX580  
will recognize only the photos in numbered folders on the device.  
Printing and Copying Problems  
Make sure your original is positioned in the top left corner of the glass. Move  
it slightly away from the edges to avoid cropping.  
Make sure your paper is loaded short edge first and is positioned against the  
right edge with the left edge guide against its left side. Don’t load paper above  
the arrow mark inside the left edge guide.  
Make sure the paper size settings are correct for the paper you are using.  
If part of your image is cut off, try turning off the Fit Frame setting. Or, try  
setting Expansion to Mid or Min. See page 37 for more information.  
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, 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 paper or 120  
sheets of plain paper). See your User’s Guide for more information.  
If paper is jammed, follow these steps to clear the jam:  
1. Press the x Start button to eject the jammed paper. If the jammed paper  
is not ejected, go to the next step.  
2. If the paper is stuck near the sheet feeder or front tray, gently pull it out.  
If the paper is stuck inside the RX580, press the POn button to turn it  
off. Open the scanner and remove any paper inside, including any torn  
pieces. Do not pull it backward; this can damage the sheet feeder. Close  
the scanner, then turn the RX580 back on.  
80 Solving Problems  
Print Quality Problems  
If you have any problems with the copy or print quality, try these solutions:  
Make sure the type of paper you loaded matches the paper size and paper type  
settings on the control panel or in your printer software (see page 62).  
Try selecting Best as the Quality setting.  
If you are copying, make sure the document is placed flat against the  
document table glass and the RX580 is not tilted or placed on an uneven  
surface.  
Load the paper printable side up (usually the whiter, brighter, or glossy side).  
Make sure your paper isn’t damp or curled.  
Use a support sheet with special paper or load your paper one sheet at a time.  
Remove sheets from the output tray as they are printed.  
For the best print quality, use Epson special paper (see page 62) and genuine  
Epson ink cartridges (see page 72).  
Set the tray lever to the paper position for paper, then pull out the front tray  
extensions. If you are printing on CDs or DVDs, push in the extensions, then  
set the lever to the CD/DVD position.  
If you notice light or dark lines 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 69 to see if the print  
head needs cleaning. Then clean the print head as described on page 70 if  
necessary.  
If you notice jagged vertical lines, you may need to align the print head. See  
page 77 for instructions.  
The ink cartridges may be old or low on ink; see page 71 for instructions on  
replacing an ink cartridge.  
If a dotted line appears in the image, clean the document table glass with a  
soft, dry, lint-free cloth (paper towels are not recommended), or use a small  
amount of glass cleaner on a soft cloth, if necessary. Don’t spray glass cleaner  
directly on the glass.  
Make sure your paper size and layout settings are correct.  
If part of your image is cut off, try turning off the Fit Frame setting. Or, try  
setting Expansion to Mid or Min. See page 37 for more information.

Important Safety Instructions  
Before using your RX580, read and follow these safety instructions:  
Use only the type of power source indicated on the RX580 label.  
Use only the power cord that comes with the RX580. Use of another cord may cause  
fires or shock. Do not use the cord with any other equipment.  
Place the RX580 near a wall outlet where the plug can be easily unplugged.  
Do not use a damaged or frayed power cord.  
If you use an extension cord with the RX580, make sure the total ampere rating of the  
devices plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the cord’s ampere rating.  
Also, make sure the total ampere rating of all devices plugged into the wall outlet does  
not exceed the wall outlet’s ampere rating.  
Avoid locations that are subject to rapid changes in heat or humidity, shocks or  
vibrations, or dust.  
Leave enough room around the RX580 for sufficient ventilation. Do not block or  
cover openings in the RX580 case or insert objects through the slots.  
Make sure the back of the RX580 is at least 3.9 inches (10 cm) away from the wall.  
Do not place the RX580 near a radiator or heating vent or in direct sunlight.  
Place the RX580 on a flat, stable surface that extends beyond its base in all directions.  
It will not operate properly if it is tilted or at an angle.  
Do not open the scanner section while the RX580 is copying, printing, or scanning.  
Do not spill liquid on the RX580.  
Do not use aerosol products that contain flammable gases inside or around the  
RX580, to avoid fire danger.  
Except as specifically explained in your documentation, do not attempt to service the  
RX580 yourself.  
Unplug the RX580 and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the  
following conditions: if the power cord or plug is damaged; if liquid has entered the  
product; if the product has been dropped or the case damaged; if the product does not  
operate normally or exhibits a distinct change in performance. Adjust only those  
controls that are covered by the operating instructions.  
Notices 83  
When storing or transporting the RX580, do not tilt it, stand it on its side, or turn it  
upside down; otherwise ink may leak from the cartridge.  
Ink Cartridge Safety Instructions  
Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and do not drink the ink.  
Be careful when you handle used ink cartridges; there may be ink remaining around  
the ink supply port. If ink gets on your skin, wash it off with soap and water. If it gets  
in your eyes, flush them immediately with water. If you still have discomfort or vision  
problems, see a doctor immediately.  
Do not put your hand inside the RX580 or touch any cartridges during printing.  
Do not shake cartridges, as this might cause leakage.  
Install a new ink cartridge immediately after removing an expended one. Leaving  
cartridges uninstalled can dehydrate the print head and may prevent the RX580 from  
printing.  
If you remove an ink cartridge for later use, protect the ink supply area from dirt and  
dust and store it in the same environment as the RX580. Note that 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 Screen Safety Instructions  
Only use a dry, soft cloth to clean the LCD panel. Do not use liquid or chemical  
cleansers.  
If the LCD panel is damaged, contact Epson as described on page 82. If the liquid  
crystal solution gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and water. If the  
liquid crystal solution gets into your eyes, flush them immediately with water. If  
discomfort or vision problems remain after a thorough flushing, see a doctor  
immediately.
