Problems and Solutions

Check the solutions below if you are having trouble 
using your EPSON STYLUS PHOTO RX.

Copying Problems

Make sure your original is positioned in the top 
left corner of the document table.

If the edges of the copy are cropped off, move the 
original away from the corner slightly.

Make sure your paper is loaded short edge first, 
all the way to the right, with the left edge guide 
against its left side. Do not load paper above the 

c

arrow mark inside the left edge guide.

Paper Feeding Problems

Remove the paper from the sheet feeder. Flip 
through the stack to separate the sheets. 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. 

&

 page 4 for 

information about the number of sheets you can 
load.

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 on to the 
next step.

2.

If the paper is stuck near the sheet feeder or output 
tray, gently pull it out then press the 

x

 

Start

 

button.

If the paper is stuck inside the EPSON STYLUS 
PHOTO RX, press the 

P

On

 button to turn it off. 

Open the scanner unit and remove any paper 
inside, including any torn pieces. Do not pull it 
backward; this can damage the sheet feeder. Close 
the scanner unit, then turn the EPSON STYLUS 
PHOTO RX back on.

Print Quality Problems

If you have any problems with the copy or print 
quality, try these solutions:

Make sure the document is placed flat against the 
document table and the EPSON STYLUS PHOTO 
RX 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 is not damp or curled.

Load your paper one sheet at a time. Remove 
sheets from the output tray so not too many collect 
at a time.

Make the paper size and paper type settings on the 
control panel match the type of paper you loaded 
(

&

 page 4)

For the best print quality, use Epson paper (

&

 

page 4) and genuine Epson ink cartridges (

&

 

page 19).

Set the paper thickness lever to the 

m

position for 

most paper types. If you are printing on 
envelopes, set the lever to the 

^

position.

If you notice light or dark bands across your 
printouts or they are too faint, you may need to 
clean the print head. Run a nozzle check as 
described on page 21 to see if the print head needs 
cleaning.

Clean the print head as described on page 21.

If you notice jagged vertical lines, you may need 
to align the print head. 

&

 page 22 for instructions.

The ink cartridges may be old or low on ink. 

&

 

page 22 instructions on replacing an ink cartridge.

If a dotted line appears in the photo, clean the 
document table 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. 

Do not spray glass cleaner directly on 

the document table.

If you notice smears on the paper, make several 
copies without placing a document on the 
document table.

Make sure your film or slides are placed on the 
scanner correctly and the film holder is properly 
positioned on the document table (

&

 page 17).

Printing film or slides in a low-temperature 
environment can cause discoloration in the 
scanned or printed image if the EPSON STYLUS 
PHOTO RX is not fully warmed up. If this 
happens, leave the EPSON STYLUS PHOTO RX 
for approximately 10 minutes without turning it 
off or changing the scan mode, and then try again.
