7 Copying You can use your Epson Stylus® Photo RX620 to copy materials such as newspaper clippings, scrapbooking elements, and 4 × 6 photos, without using a computer. Make beautiful color copies of your existing photos—or use the included film holder to make photo reprints directly from 35-mm slides and negatives. If you have photos that have become faded over time, you can even bring them back to life with Color Restoration. See these sections: ■“Loading Paper” below ■“Copying Text and Graphics” on page 9 ■“Copying a Photo” on page 11 ■“Making Prints From Slides or Negatives” on page 15 ■“Restoring Color From Faded Slides, Negatives, and Photos” on page 20 Loading Paper Epson® offers an extensive line of specialty papers that provide outstanding results when used with Epson printers and ink. See the inside back cover for a complete list of papers that work with your printer. If you need help making a selection, see the Start Here sheet for some useful tips, or check online at www.epson.com. Note: Epson paper is designed to work with Epson printers and ink. If you use different brands, you may not get the results you expect. 1. Open the output tray. Output tray
8Copying 2. Flip the feeder guard forward. 3. Slide the edge guide to the left. 4. Load your paper and slide the edge guide lightly against it. Never load more sheets than can fit under the arrow mark on the edge guide. Note: If you’re using special Epson paper, follow any instructions that came with it. For example, some types of paper should be loaded only one sheet at a time. See your on-screen Reference Guide for details. To ensure good results, always: ■Load paper with the printable side up (it’s usually whiter or brighter). ■Check the RX620’s Paper Type setting before printing to make sure it matches the type of paper you’ve loaded (see page 12).

Copying Text and Graphics9 Copying Text and Graphics Here’s how to copy materials that include a combination of text and graphics. You can copy black-and-white materials such as books, forms, and newspaper clippings—or materials with colorful graphic designs such as magazine articles, school projects, and scrapbooking elements. Tip: Plain photocopier paper works well for making everyday copies. For crisper text and more vivid colors, try Epson Premium Bright White Paper or Photo Quality Ink Jet Paper. These papers provide superior yet affordable results for day-to-day business and personal printing needs. 1. Press the POn button to turn on the RX620. 1. Load several sheets of letter-size (8.5 × 11 inch) paper, as described on page 7. 2. Open the scanner lid and place your document face-down as shown. 3. Close the scanner lid. Tip: If the edges of your original are important, slide the document about 1/8 inch away from the edges of the glass to ensure that the entire document is copied. To copy a thick document, such as a book, lift or remove the scanner lid. Make sure your original lies flat on the glass. Place against this corner of glass
10Copying 4. Press the Copy button. You see this screen: Note: The RX620 retains the last settings you used, so always check them to make sure they’re the ones you want to copy with. 5. Check the layout setting at the top of the screen and make sure Borderless Copy does not appear. You cannot make plain paper copies using a borderless layout (it’s only for printing on selected types of Epson photo paper). If necessary, press the Copy Options button and change Copy Layout to a different option, such as Copy w/Borders. (See page 13 for more layout options.) Then press OK to apply the new setting. 6. Use the u, d, l, and r buttons to select these settings: ■Copies: Print from 1 to 99 copies. ■Reduce/Enlarge: Print your scanned material at its original size (Actual) or adjust it to fit the selected paper size ( Auto Fit Page). ■Zoom In/Out: Resize the original by a specific amount (25% to 400%). ■Paper Type: Select Plain. ■Paper Size: Letter is automatically selected. (You can’t change this setting when plain paper is chosen as the Paper Type.) ■Quality: Make quick copies (Draft) or quality copies of text and graphics ( Text). 7. Press the x Color button (for color copies) or the x B&W button (for black- and-white copies). Your document is copied. To cancel a copy job in progress, press the y Stop button. Tip: If you need to make your copies lighter or darker, press the Copy Options button and adjust the Copy Density. Press OK when done to apply the setting. Arrow buttons Confirm the layout setting at the top of the screen (see step 5 below)
