Follow the steps here to load paper in your  
Epson Stylus CX5800F all-in-one.  
1. Open the paper support and output tray,  
then slide out the extensions.  
2. Flip the feeder guard forward. Then slide  
the left edge guide to the left.  
3. Insert the paper, printable side up, against the right edge guide. Always load it  
short edge first, even for landscape printing.  
The printable side is often whiter or brighter than the other side.  
Narrow paper  
Place paper  
beneath the  
tabs and  
arrow mark  
Loading Paper 7  
 
You can load up to 100 sheets of 17 lb plain paper or up to 20 sheets of photo  
paper. See the User’s Guide for capacity guidelines on other paper types.  
Note:  
The type of paper you choose affects the way your printout looks, so be sure to  
select the correct paper for your job. If you are just making a copy or printing a  
rough draft of an image, plain paper is fine. However, for the best results, you’ll  
want to use one of Epsons special ink jet papers designed for your printer. For  
example, your photos will look great printed on Epson Premium Glossy Photo  
Paper. See page 29 for details.  
4. Slide the left edge guide against the left edge of the paper (but not too tightly).  
Then flip the feeder guard back.  
5. Make sure the paper thickness lever is set down to the m L position.

Printing From a Memory Card  
or Camera  
The Epson Stylus CX5800F all-in-one lets you print color photos directly from  
your digital camera’s memory card; just insert it into a memory card slot on the  
Epson Stylus CX5800F and you’re ready to print.  
If your digital camera supports DPOF(Digital Print Order Format), you can  
pre-select the photos you want to print while the card is still in the camera. Then,  
when you insert the card in the Epson Stylus CX5800F, it knows which photos to  
print and how many copies of each.  
If your camera is PictBridge®- or USB DIRECT-PRINT-compatible, you can  
print your JPEG photos by connecting your digital camera directly to your Epson  
Stylus CX5800F. Your photos must be sized from 80 × 80 to 9200 × 9200 pixels.  
See these sections:

CX5800F and a computer or other device, see the User’s Guide.

When you want to remove the card, make sure the memory card access light is not  
flashing, then pull the card straight out of its slot.  
Note:  
You can print only in color when printing directly from a memory card; you cannot print  
in black and white.  
Caution:  
Do not remove the card or turn off the Epson Stylus CX5800F while the memory card  
access light is flashing; you may lose data on the card.  
Printing an Index Sheet to Select Photos  
You can print an index sheet (which is like a photographer’s contact or proof sheet)  
to see small “thumbnail” images of all the photos on your card. Then you mark the  
photos on the index sheet that you want to print, scan the sheet, and let the Epson  
Stylus CX5800F automatically print the selected photos.  
Printing the Index Sheet  
1. Make sure your Epson Stylus CX5800F is not connected to your computer  
(or your computer is turned off).  
2. Load several sheets of letter-size, plain paper. (Use only letter-size paper to  
print the index sheet.) Up to 30 images are printed on each page, so if there  
are more than 30 photos on the memory card, you’ll need enough sheets for  
all the index pages to be printed.  
3. Insert the memory card if it is not already in the slot. See page 17 for details.  
4. If the light in the Memory Card button is not lit, press the Memory Card  
button. The Epson Stylus CX5800F counts the images on your card and you

are printed first. If you want to cancel printing more sheets, press  
the y Cancel/Back button.  
Now follow the instructions below to select which photos to print.  
Selecting Photos on the Index Sheet  
1. Once you have printed the index sheet, use a dark pen or pencil to fill in one  
of the ovals beneath each photo you want to print to indicate how many  
copies you want (1, 2, or 3).  
OK:  
No  
good:  
Make sure just one oval is filled in for each selected photo and mark the sheet  
carefully; once it has been scanned you will not be able to change your  
selections.  
Note:  
If you want one copy of all the photos on the index sheet, fill in the ALL oval at the  
top of the page.

1. Insert the memory card. See page 17 for details.  
2. Load up to 100 sheets of plain paper or up to 20 sheets of photo paper at a

You can also check the print head nozzles using software when the Epson Stylus  
CX5800F is connected to your computer. See the User’s Guide for instructions.  
Cleaning the Print Head  
If your printouts are unexpectedly light or faint, or you notice light or dark bands  
across your printout, you may need to clean the print head. This unclogs the  
nozzles so they can deliver ink properly. Run a nozzle check as described on  
page 47 to see if the print head needs cleaning.  
Note:  
Print head cleaning uses ink, so clean it only if quality declines and the nozzle check  
indicates that the print head needs to be cleaned.  
If you see an ink error message on the display, you cannot clean the print head. In this  
case, press the OK button and replace the appropriate ink cartridge first. See page 50  
for details.

Caution:  
Never turn off the Epson Stylus CX5800F while head cleaning is in progress. You  
may damage it.  
5. When the display returns to 4.Head Cleaning, run a nozzle check to verify  
that the print head is clean. See page 47 for details.  
6. If there are still gaps or lines, or the test patterns are faint, run another  
cleaning cycle and check the nozzles again.  
48 Maintaining Your Epson Stylus CX5800F  
   
Note:  
If you don’t see any improvement after cleaning the print head four or five times,  
turn off the Epson Stylus CX5800F and wait overnight. This lets any dried ink  
soften. Then try cleaning the print head again. If quality still does not improve, one  
of the ink cartridges may be old or damaged and needs to be replaced. See  
page 50 for details.  
Caution:  
If you do not use your Epson Stylus CX5800F often, it is a good idea to print a few  
pages at least once a month to maintain good print quality.  
Checking the Ink Levels  
You can check the approximate level of ink in your cartridges using the control  
panel.

Problems and Solutions  
Check the solutions below if you have trouble using your Epson Stylus CX5800F.  
Copying Problems  
Make sure your original is positioned in the top left corner of the glass. Place  
it 0.04 inch (1 mm) from the edges to avoid cropping.  
Make sure your paper is loaded short edge first and is positioned against the  
right edge guide with the left edge guide against its left side. Don’t load paper  
above the arrow mark inside the left edge guide.  
Solving Problems 57  
 
Faxing Problems  
If you have problems sending a fax, make sure the phone cable is connected  
correctly and verify that the phone line works by connecting a phone to it.  
Also make sure that your recipient’s fax machine is turned on and working.  
If you have problems receiving a fax, make sure paper is loaded, the phone  
cable is connected correctly, and the phone line works. To automatically  
receive faxes, make sure you see a Y on the first screen display. (See page 41 for  
details.) If you see Receiving on the display but nothing prints, the fax data  
may be too large. Tell the sender to resend the fax in smaller sections.  
If you connected the Epson Stylus CX5800F to a DSL phone line, you must  
install a DSL filter to the line or you won’t be able to fax. Contact your DSL  
provider for the necessary filter.  
If your phone line has static or other noise problems, turn off the ECM (Error  
Correction Mode) setting and try faxing again. See page 34 for details.  
Paper Feeding Problems  
If paper doesn’t feed, remove it from the sheet feeder. Flip through the stack to  
separate the sheets a little. Then reload the paper against the right edge guide,  
and slide the left edge guide against the paper (but not too tightly). Make sure  
the paper is not in front of the feeder guard.  
Do not load too many sheets at once (up to 20 sheets of photo paper or  
100 sheets of plain paper). See the User’s Guide for more information.  
If paper is jammed, you see a paper jam message on the display. Follow these  
steps to clear the jam:  
1. Press the OK button to eject the jammed paper. If the jammed paper is  
not ejected, go to the next step.  
2. If the paper is stuck near the sheet feeder or output tray, gently pull it out.  
If the paper is stuck inside the Epson Stylus CX5800F, press the P On  
button to turn it off. Open the scanner and remove any paper inside,  
including any torn pieces. Do not pull it backward however; this can  
damage the sheet feeder. Close the scanner, then turn the Epson Stylus  
CX5800F back on.  
58 Solving Problems  
 
Print Quality Problems  
If you have any problems with the copy or print quality, try these solutions:  
Make sure the document is placed flat against the document table glass and  
the Epson Stylus CX5800F is not tilted or placed on an uneven surface.  
Load the paper printable side up (usually the whiter, brighter, or glossy side).  
Make sure your paper isn’t damp or curled.  
Use a support sheet with special paper or load your paper one sheet at a time.  
Remove sheets from the output tray as they are printed.  
Make sure the type of paper you loaded matches the paper size and paper type  
settings on the control panel or in your printer software. See page 29 for  
details.  
For the best print quality, use Epson special paper (see page 29) and genuine  
Epson ink cartridges (see page 50).  
Set the paper thickness lever to the m L position for most paper types. If you  
are printing on envelopes, set the lever to the ^ H position.  
If you notice light or dark bands across your printouts or they are too faint,  
you may need to clean the print head. This unclogs the nozzles so they can  
deliver ink properly. Run a nozzle check to see if the print head needs  
cleaning. See page 47 for details.  
Clean the print head. See page 48 for details.  
If you notice jagged vertical lines, you may need to align the print head. See  
your User’s Guide for instructions.  
The ink cartridges may be old or low on ink. See page 50 for instructions on  
replacing an ink cartridge.  
If a dotted line appears in the image, clean the document table glass with a  
soft, dry, lint-free cloth (paper towels are not recommended), or use a small  
amount of glass cleaner on a soft cloth, if necessary. Don’t spray glass cleaner  
directly on the glass.

Important Safety Instructions  
Before using your Epson Stylus CX5800F all-in-one, read and follow these safety  
instructions:  
Be sure to follow all warnings and instructions marked on the Epson Stylus  
CX5800F.  
Use only the type of power source indicated on the Epson Stylus CX5800F label.  
Use only the power cord that comes with the Epson Stylus CX5800F. Use of another  
cord may cause fires or shock. Do not use the cord with any other equipment.  
Place the Epson Stylus CX5800F near a wall outlet where the plug can be easily  
unplugged.  
Placez l’imprimante près d’une prise de contacte où la fiche peut être débranchée  
facilement.  
Do not let the power cord become damaged or frayed.  
If you use an extension cord with the Epson Stylus CX5800F, make sure the total  
ampere rating of the devices plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the  
cord’s ampere rating. Also, make sure the total ampere rating of all devices plugged  
into the wall outlet does not exceed the wall outlet’s ampere rating.  
Avoid locations that are subject to rapid changes in heat or humidity, shocks or  
vibrations, or dust.  
Leave enough room around the Epson Stylus CX5800F for sufficient ventilation. Do  
not block or cover openings in the Epson Stylus CX5800F case or insert objects  
through the slots.  
Do not place the Epson Stylus CX5800F near a radiator or heating vent or in direct  
sunlight.  
Place the Epson Stylus CX5800F on a flat, stable surface that extends beyond its base  
in all directions. It will not operate properly if it is tilted or at an angle.  
Make sure the back of the Epson Stylus CX5800F is at least 3.9 inches (10 cm) away  
from the wall.  
Do not open the scanner section while the Epson Stylus CX5800F is copying,  
printing, or scanning.  
Do not spill liquid on the Epson Stylus CX5800F.  
Notices 61  
Except as specifically explained in your documentation, do not attempt to service the  
Epson Stylus CX5800F yourself.  
Unplug the Epson Stylus CX5800F and refer servicing to qualified service personnel  
under the following conditions: if the power cord or plug is damaged; if liquid has  
entered the product; if the product has been dropped or the case damaged; if the  
product does not operate normally or exhibits a distinct change in performance.  
Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions.  
When storing or transporting the Epson Stylus CX5800F, do not tilt it, stand it on its  
side, or turn it upside down; otherwise ink may leak from the cartridge.  
Ink Cartridge Safety Instructions  
Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and do not drink the ink.  
Be careful when you handle used ink cartridges; there may be ink remaining around  
the ink supply port. If ink gets on your skin, wash it off with soap and water. If it gets  
in your eyes, flush them immediately with water.  
Do not put your hand inside the Epson Stylus CX5800F or touch any cartridges  
during printing.  
Install a new ink cartridge immediately after removing an empty one. Leaving  
cartridges uninstalled can dehydrate the print head and may prevent the Epson Stylus  
CX5800F from printing.  
If you remove an ink cartridge for later use, protect the ink supply area from dirt and  
dust and store it in the same environment as the Epson Stylus CX5800F. Note that  
there is a valve in the ink supply port, making covers or plugs unnecessary, but care is  
needed to prevent the ink from staining items that the cartridge touches. Do not  
touch the ink cartridge ink supply port or surrounding area.  
Telephone Equipment Safety Instructions  
When using telephone equipment, you should always follow basic safety  
precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury, including  
the following:  
Do not use the Epson Stylus CX5800F near water.  
Avoid using a telephone during an electrical storm. There may be a remote  
risk of electric shock from lightning.  
Do not use a telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.  
Caution:  
To reduce the risk of fire, use only a No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunication line cord.

Epson America, Inc., Limited Warranty  
What Is Covered: Epson America, Inc. (“Epson”) warrants to the original retail purchaser  
that the Epson printer covered by this limited warranty statement, if purchased and

specifications and will be free from defects in workmanship and materials for a period of  
one (1) year from the date of original purchase. For warranty service, you must provide  
proof of the date of original purchase.  
What Epson Will Do To Correct Problems: Should your Epson printer prove defective  
during the warranty period, please call the Epson ConnectionSM at (562) 276-4382 (U.S.)  
or (905) 709-3839 (Canada) for warranty repair instructions and return authorization. An  
Epson service technician will provide telephone diagnostic service to determine whether  
the printer requires service. If service is needed, Epson will, at its option, exchange or  
repair the printer without charge for parts or labor. If Epson authorizes an exchange for the  
defective unit, Epson will ship a replacement printer to you, freight prepaid, so long as you  
use an address in Canada or the U.S. (excluding Puerto Rico and U.S. Possessions).  
Shipments to other locations will be made freight collect. You are responsible for securely  
packaging the defective unit and returning it to Epson within five (5) working days of  
receipt of the replacement. Epson requires a debit or a credit card number to secure the  
cost of the replacement printer in the event that you fail to return the defective one. If your  
printer is being repaired, Epson will direct you to send your printer to Epson or its  
authorized service center, where the printer will be fixed and sent back to you. You are  
responsible for packing the printer and for all costs to and from the Epson authorized  
service center. When warranty service involves the exchange of the printer or a part, the  
item replaced becomes Epson property. The replacement printer or part may be new or  
refurbished to the Epson standard of quality, and, at Epson’s option, may be another  
model of like kind and quality. Epson’s liability for replacement of the covered printer will  
not exceed the original retail selling price of the covered printer. Exchange products and  
parts assume the remaining warranty period of your original product covered by this  
limited warranty.  
What This Warranty Does Not Cover: This warranty does not apply to refurbished or  
reconditioned products. This warranty covers only normal use in the United States and  
Canada. Using this product for continuous production or similar high duty purposes is  
not considered normal use; damage, maintenance or service from such use will not be  
covered under this warranty. This warranty is not transferable. This warranty does not  
cover any color change or fading of prints or reimbursement of materials or services  
required for reprinting. This warranty does not cover damage to the Epson product caused  
by parts or supplies not manufactured, distributed or certified by Epson. This warranty  
does not cover ribbons, ink cartridges or third party parts, components, or peripheral  
devices added to the Epson product after its shipment from Epson, e.g., dealer or user-  
added boards or components. Epson is not responsible for warranty service should the  
Notices 67  
Epson label or logo or the rating label or serial number be removed or should the product  
fail to be properly maintained or fail to function properly as a result of misuse, abuse,  
improper installation, neglect, improper shipping, damage caused by disasters such as fire,  
flood, and lightning, improper electrical current, software problems, interaction with non-

cannot be identified or reproduced, you will be held responsible for the costs incurred.  
THE WARRANTY AND REMEDY PROVIDED ABOVE ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN  
LIEU OF ALL OTHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES INCLUDING, BUT  
NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY,  
NON-INFRINGEMENT OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. SOME  
LAWS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES. IF  
THESE LAWS APPLY, THEN ALL EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARE
