Copying a Photo
To print long-lasting photos with a professional finish, choose an Epson paper 
specially designed for printing photos. Many different sizes and paper types are 
available (see the inside back cover). To print beautiful photos without white 
borders around the edges, try using a borderless layout (available only when 
printing on 4 × 6-inch, 5 × 7-inch, 8 × 10-inch, and letter-size Epson paper).
1. Load your paper, then place your original on the scanner glass (see page 9).
2. Press the 
Copy button. You see this screen:
3. Check the layout setting at the top of the screen and make sure it’s the one you 
want to use (see pages 13 and 14 for layout options). If you want to print your 
photo without white borders, make sure 
Borderless Copy is shown.
If necessary, press the 
Copy Options button and change Copy Layout to the 
desired setting. Then press 
OK to apply the setting. 
4. Use the u, d, l, and r buttons to select these settings: 
■Copies: Print from 1 to 99 copies. 
■Reduce/Enlarge: For borderless printing, select Auto Fit Page. 
Otherwise, select 
Actual to print your photo at its original size; or resize 
the image to fit various common paper sizes: 
■Zoom In/Out: Resize the original by a specific amount (25% to 400%).

Making Prints From Slides or Negatives
You can use the film holder that came with your Stylus Photo RX620 to scan 
35-mm slides or strips of negative and positive film. To get professional results that 
look and feel like traditional photos, try one of these special Epson papers:
■Premium Glossy Photo Paper—available in sizes perfect for displaying in your 
photo album or sharing with family and friends

a beautiful satin finish

Placing 35-mm Slides in the Holder
1. Fit the holder’s tabs into the two small holes at the rear edge of the glass. 
Make sure the cutouts for 35-mm slides are in the middle of the glass (not at 
the rear edge) to align them with the fluorescent lamp when you close the lid.
2. Place your slides in the film holder as shown.
Note: 
The photos should be mirror-imaged when viewed from overhead. (The shinier 
side faces down; the duller side faces up.)
To avoid unnecessary cropping of your photos, always place your slides with the 
wider part of the film width-wise on the glass (in landscape orientation).
Continue with the steps on page 18 to scan and print your photos.

Restoring Color From Faded Slides, 
Negatives, and Photos
If you have slides, negatives, or 4 × 6-inch photos that have become faded over 
time, you can restore their color with Color Restoration. 
Restoring Slides or Negatives
To restore color from faded slides or negatives, 
follow the instructions on page 15 to place your 
film on the scanner and adjust the settings for the 
type of paper you’ve loaded. 
Before printing, make sure 
Restoration is set to 
On, as shown.
Restoring 4 × 6 Photos
Follow these steps to restore faded 4 × 6-inch photos. You’ll need to have some 
4 × 6-inch Epson Premium Glossy Photo Paper before starting. You can place two 
photos on the scanner at once; a separate print will be made of each photo.
1. Place one or two photos on the scanner glass, aligning them with the edges of 
the glass as shown. 
Note: 
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.
