Connecting Your Camera Directly
PictBridge and USB Direct Print let you print your photos by connecting your 
digital camera directly to the Stylus Photo RX700. 
Make sure your photos meet these requirements:
■JPEG files or uncompressed Tiff files only
■Resolutions ranging from 120 × 120 to 4600 × 4600 pixels 
■No more than 999 photos on your camera (you can have additional photos, 
but the printer can read only the first 999)
1. Remove any memory cards from the RX700. (If you leave a card in the 
RX700, photos will be read from that card instead of the card in your camera.)
2. Connect the USB cable that came with your camera to the 
EXT. I/F port on 
the front of the Stylus Photo RX700. 
3. If necessary, turn on the Stylus Photo RX700 and your camera. After a 
moment, the RX700 reads and counts your photos.
4. Load the type of paper you want to print on (see page 31).
5. Press the 
Setup button.
6. Use the d button to highlight 
PictBridge Setup or Direct Print Document 
Setup
 (depending on how your camera is enabled), then press OK.
7. Use the RX700 screen to select default print settings, such as 
Paper Type, 
Paper Size, and Quality. You may have to scroll down to see all the settings.

8. When you have finished selecting your print settings, press OK.
9. Use your camera to select the photos you want to print, adjust any necessary 
settings, and print your photos. See your camera’s manual for details. 
Note: 
Be sure to make the desired print settings on your camera, because its settings 
generally take precedence over those on the RX700. If your camera is not 
compatible with PictBridge or USB Direct Print, you’ll see a message saying that 
the connected device cannot be used. Epson cannot guarantee the compatibility of 
any cameras. 
Cropping a Photo
If you have a photo with a subject in it you want to emphasize, you can crop out 
the rest of the photo. Then you can print just the main subject by itself. 
Note: 
You can crop and print only one photo at a time. Cropping does not change the original 
file on your memory card; it changes only the way the photo is printed.
1. Load the type of paper you want to print with in the rear sheet feeder (see 
page 31).
2. Press the 
Memory Card button.
3. Select 
Custom Print then press OK.
4. Select 
Crop then press OK.
5. Adjust the print settings for the type of paper you’ve loaded and your desired 
layout, then press 
OK (see page 30).
6. Use the l and r buttons to select the photo you want to crop, then press 
OK.

then press the x

Tip: 
For best results, press the 
x Color button even if you’re printing black-and-white 
photos. Color inks can be combined for improved results over black ink alone. 
If part of your photo is unexpectedly missing when you print, select with Border 
as the Layout setting and turn off Fit to Frame (see page 37).
Creating Photo Greeting Cards
You can easily create photo greeting cards that 
combine one of your favorite photos and a 
personal, handwritten message. After printing 
your cards, send them to family and friends for 
the holidays or other special occasions. 
First you’ll select your photo and print a template selection sheet on plain paper. 
When you’re ready to print your cards, you’ll need to load one of these papers:

Printing on CDs and DVDs
Your RX700 includes a special tray that lets you print customized text, graphics, 
and photos directly on any ink-jet printable CD or DVD. You can use both 
regular 12-cm disks and 8-cm mini CDs. 
Caution: 
Use only ink jet-printable CDs or DVDs for printing. Do not use thermal-printable or 
regular CDs or DVDs.
You can order CDs and DVDs with an ink-jet printable surface from your local 
retailer or a web site such as www.pcmall.com, www.cdw.com, 
www.warehouse.com, www.zones.com, www.macconnection.com, and 
www.pcconnection.com.
The EPSON Print CD software included with your RX700 makes it easy to print 
CDs and DVDs. Import your own photos, add text, and modify your designs with 
a variety of special effects. If you’re not using a computer, you can also print 
photos and designs without text directly onto CDs and DVDs from your RX700.

Loading a Disk
Make sure the data, music, or video is burned on your ink-jet printable CDs or 
DVDs before you print. Otherwise, dirt or scratches on the surface may cause 
errors when you burn the data. If you plan to print large numbers of disks, it’s a 
good idea to print a small sample, then wait a day and check the quality to make 
sure it is satisfactory.
Caution: 
Use only CDs or DVDs designed for printing with ink jet printers. 
1. Turn on the RX700 and open the front cover.
2. Press the 5 open tab. The CD/DVD guide slides out.
3. Place your disk on the CD/DVD tray with the 
label surface up.
Note: 
For small 8-cm disks, place the included adapter on 
the tray first.
