Epson RX620 Product Information Guide - Page 15

Epson Stylus Photo RX620 If you don't see any improvement after cleaning three or four times, check the troubleshooting solutions in the on-screen Reference Guide. You can also turn the RX620 off and wait overnight-this allows any dried ink to soften-and then try cleaning the print head again. Caution: When you don't turn on your RX620 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. Replacing Ink Cartridges When you print with low or empty ink cartridges, you'll see a message on your RX620 screen. When your ink starts getting low, make sure you have replacement cartridges available. You can't print if a cartridge is empty. Check the icon in the upper right corner to see which cartridge is low or empty: Ink levels If you can't see the icon clearly enough, press the Setup button, then press the d button to select LCD Contrast Adjustment then press the OK button. Use the l and r buttons to decrease or increase the contrast as necessary to see the icon clearly, then press the OK button. 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 may need to replace the cartridge. Checking the Ink Supply To check your ink supply, do the following: 1. Press the Setup button to enter setup mode. 2. Press the u and d buttons to select Ink Levels, then press the OK button. You see a graphic with the amount of ink available in each cartridge: B (Black) C (Cyan), LC (Light Cyan), M (Magenta), LM (Light Magenta), and Y (Yellow). 3. When you're done checking the ink levels, press the OK button. When your ink starts getting low, make sure you have replacement cartridges available. You can't print if a cartridge is empty. Ink Cartridge Precautions 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. Caution: To avoid damaging the printer, never move the print head by hand. You can't print if an ink cartridge is empty. Leave the empty cartridge installed in the RX620 until you have obtained a replacement. Otherwise the ink remaining in the print head nozzles may dry out. 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. 1. If an ink cartridge is empty: Look at the icon in the upper right corner of the LCD screen to see which cartridge is empty, then press the OK button. If an ink cartridge is low: Press the Setup button to enter setup mode. Press the u and d buttons to select Ink Cartridge, press OK, then press OK again. Look at the icon in the upper right corner of the LCD screen or check the ink levels as described in "Checking the Ink Supply" above. 2. Lift open the scanner section, as shown, making sure to keep the scanner lid closed on top. 11/04 Epson Stylus Photo RX620 - 15
