Loading Epson 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 inside back cover for suggestions, or check online at www.epsonstore.com.
Note: 
Load specialty Epson papers in the rear sheet feeder only. Plain paper may also be 
loaded in the rear sheet feeder, but you have to specify Plain(Back) as the Paper Type 
when printing (see page 15).
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. Extend the paper support.
2. Open the front cover.

							Loading Paper13 3. Extend the output tray.
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 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 short edge first.
■Load paper with the printable side up (it’s usually whiter or brighter).
■Check the RX700’s Paper Type setting before printing to make sure it matches the 
type of paper you’ve loaded (see page 16).

Copying Text and Graphics
Here’s how to make basic copies 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. It’s okay to load up to 100 
sheets of this type of paper in the front tray instead of plain paper.
1. Press the POn button to turn on the RX700.
2. Load several sheets of letter-size (8.5 
× 11 inch) paper in the front or back 
tray, as described on page 10. Remember, you can load plain paper in either 
tray—but other types of paper must be loaded in back.
3. Open the scanner lid and place your document face-down as shown. 
4. 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.

Making Prints From Slides or Negatives
You can use the film holder that came with your Stylus Photo RX700 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
■ColorLife Photo Paper—lets you create framable, fade-resistant portraits with 
a beautiful satin finish
Removing the Document Mat and Film Holder
1. Open the scanner lid and

2. If you’ve stored the film holder 
in the scanner lid, remove it as 
shown.

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 of the film faces down; the duller side faces up.)
To avoid 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 22 to scan and print your photos.
