and specifications. To set up your Stylus CX and install your software, see the Start

Caution: Cautions must be observed to avoid damage to your equipment.

Note: Notes contain important information about your Stylus CX.

Tip: Tips contain additional hints for better copying, printing, and scanning.

About Your Stylus CX

Your Stylus CX all-in-one is great for all your everyday projects and photos. It

provides you with these advanced features:

■Epson’s revolutionary DURABrite®Ultra pigment inks. These quick-drying inks

are resistant to water, fading, and smudging on plain and photo paper so your

prints stand the test of time.

Note: The light resistance of prints is rated up to 100 years on specialty papers,

and 70 years on plain paper. The light resistance rating is based on accelerated

testing of prints on Epson®special media, displayed indoors, under glass. Actual

print stability will vary according to media, printed image, display conditions, light

intensity, humidity, and other atmospheric conditions. Epson does not guarantee

the longevity of prints. For maximum print life, display all prints under glass or

lamination or properly store them.

■True BorderFree®frame-ready prints on select 4 × 6 (102 × 152 mm), 5 × 7

(127 × 178), 8 × 10 (203 × 254), and letter-size (216 ×279) papers.

■Built-in Epson Easy Photo Fix™technology to quickly restore faded color photos

while you scan so they look as good as new.

About Exif Print

The Exif (Exchangeable Image File) Print format includes information about your

digital camera settings in JPEG files so your printer and application can use them to

create accurate print settings. Most digital cameras store Exif Print information such

as shutter speed, metering, flash, and exposure settings, resolution, and lens use in the

JPEG image file. Your printer—along with ArcSoft PhotoImpression—uses the

information to ensure the most accurate image reproduction.

About Your Software

The CD-ROM that came with your Stylus CX all-in-one includes all the software you

need for printing and scanning. See your Start Here sheet for installation instructions.

■Your printer driver lets you control how your documents look. You can’t print

from your computer without it.

■Your scanner software lets you scan from your computer and control how your

scans look. You can’t scan without it.

Tip: It’s a good idea to check Epson’s support web site periodically for free

updates to your Stylus CX printing and scanning software. Visit

http://www.latin.epson.com.

■ArcSoft PhotoImpression™ lets you edit, retouch, or enhance images and print

them with templates, frames, and borders. Supports Exif Print. See the

PhotoImpression Help utility for instructions on using the program.

■ABBYY FineReader®Sprint lets you scan a document and convert the text into

data that you can edit with a word processing program.

■Epson PhotoCenterSM is Epson’s free photo-sharing web site where you can store,

organize, and share your photos; print high-resolution photos straight from the

web; and create free online postcards with your photos. Your printer software

installer lets you add a link to the Epson PhotoCenter on your desktop.

■Epson Print LabSM is Epson’s free photo project web site where you can combine

your favorite photos, Epson papers, and your printer to create unforgettable

personalized craft projects. Your printer software installer lets you add a link to

the Epson Print Lab on your desktop.

■Epson Web-to-Page™automatically adjusts web pages to fit your printed page.

No more cut-off edges! All you have to do is select Print on the Web-To-Page

toolbar in Internet Explorer (requires Windows 98, Me, 2000, or XP with

Internet Explorer 5.5 or later).
