Loading Paper 7
Loading Paper
Follow the steps here to load paper in your
EPSON STYLUS CX5700F 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.

8Loading Paper
You can load up to 100 sheets of 64 g/m2plain 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 will want to use one of Epson’s
special ink jet papers designed for your printer. For example, your photos will look great
printed on Epson Premium Glossy Photo Paper. See page 31 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 mLposition.

Copying a Photo or Document 9
Copying a Photo or Document
Follow the instructions in this section to:
■Position your photo or document correctly on the glass (see below)
■Make copies of a photo or document (on page 11)
Placing the Original on the Glass
1. Open the document cover and place your original face-down on the glass,
in the upper left corner.
2. Close the document cover gently so you do not move the original.
Caution:
Never open the document cover beyond where it stops and do not place heavy objects on
top of the EPSON STYLUS CX5700F all-in-one.
If the edges of the copy are cropped off, move the
original away from the corner slightly.

10 Copying a Photo or Document
If you need to copy or scan a thick or large document, you can remove the
document cover. Just open it and pull it straight up.
If you need to press the document flat while you copy or scan it, do not press
too hard and be careful not to move it.
Caution:
Do not use excessive force on the document cover, and do not twist it. You may damage the
document cover.
When you are done, replace the document cover by inserting the tabs back into
the slots.
