Using Your Stylus CX6300
You can use your EPSON Stylus®CX6300 to make color or black-and-white
copies without turning on your computer. All you have to do is place your original
on the glass and press the button.
You can also print photos directly from your digital camera’s memory card—just
insert the card, select the settings you want to use, and print. You don’t have to be
connected to a computer. Your CX6300 lets you share images in other ways, too—
by scanning to a card, or by copying images to and from your computer.
To set up your CX6300 and install its software, see the Start Here sheet.
For instructions on printing and scanning from your computer, see your online
Reference Guide. An icon for the CX6300 Reference Guide is automatically placed
on your desktop when you install the software.
Please follow these guidelines throughout:
Warning:
Warnings must be followed carefully to avoid bodily injury.
Caution:
Cautions must be observed to avoid damage to your equipment.
Note:
Notes contain important information about your CX6300.
Tip:
Tips contain hints for better copying, scanning, and printing.

Using the Security Lock 7
Using the Security Lock
If you want to prevent unauthorized use of your CX6300, you can activate its
security lock feature. The security lock requires you to enter a PIN (Personal
Identification Number) whenever you turn on the CX6300. If you forget your
PIN code, you can still regain access to your CX6300 (see page 9).
To enable the security lock, you must first run the Security Lock program on a
computer connected to the CX6300.
Follow these steps to activate the security lock:
1. Press the On button until the green lights flash to turn on your CX6300.
2. Insert your English software CD-ROM.
3. Windows: If you see the Software Installation screen, click Exit. Open the
SecurityLockTool folder on your CD-ROM, then double-click the program
file located in that folder.
Macintosh: The EPSON folder automatically opens (if it doesn’t, double-
click the EPSON CD-ROM icon). Then double-click the EPSON Security
Lock icon.

You can also copy the program to your
