*The figure given is based on continuous printing after ink replacement. The actual print capacity may vary. The ink charging process reduces the print capacity of the initial cartridge, even though it contains the standard amount of ink.

**Ink thaws and is usable after approximately 3 hours at 77 °F (25 °C).

Caution:

To ensure good results, use genuine EPSON cartridges. Other products may cause damage to your printer not covered by EPSON’s warranty.

Don’t use an ink cartridge if the date on the package has expired.

Do not refill the ink cartridge. An IC chip on the cartridge calculates the amount of remaining ink based on the initial supply. Adding ink does not increase the amount available for use.

Paper

In addition to the requirements for single sheets and envelopes listed below, the Stylus Photo RX500 supports a variety of EPSON special media. See page 1 for details.

Note:

Since the quality of any particular brand or type of paper may be changed by the manufacturer at any time, EPSON cannot attest to the quality of any non-EPSON brand of paper. Always test samples of paper stock before purchasing large quantities or printing large jobs.

Poor quality paper may reduce print quality and cause paper jams and other problems. If you encounter problems, switch to a higher grade of paper. Do not load curled, folded, or wrinkled paper.

Use paper under normal environmental conditions: 59 to 77 °F (15 to 25 °C) and 40 to 60% RH (relative humidity).
