Media Loading Guidelines

❏ See page 2 for a list of Epson papers that can be used with

this printer.

❏ Load paper short edge first, even when printing landscapeoriented pictures.

❏ Always handle sheets by the edges, and don’t touch the printable surface.

❏ Be sure to load the printable (whiter) side of the media face up in the sheet feeder.

❏ Do not load paper higher than the arrow mark on the left edge guide. (Some papers should be loaded just one sheet at a time. Make sure you check any instructions included with the paper.)

❏ In addition to the

Media Type (or Paper Type ) setting, remember to select the correct Paper Size for your media.

❏ If the package includes protective sheets between the sheets of media, be sure to remove the protective sheets before printing.

❏ Some special media have a cut corner that you need to position in the upper right when loading.

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 or type 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.

Loading Paper

1. Open the paper support and raise the extension.

2. Place your paper short edge first against the right edge of the feeder, under the tab, with the printable (whiter or glossier) side up. If you are loading multiple sheets, fan the stack of paper before loading it to prevent paper jams.

Note: Don’t load paper above the arrow mark inside the left edge guide. Some special papers can be loaded only one sheet at a time. See your on-screen User’s Guide for details.

4. Open the output tray and pull out the extension.

You should also follow these guidelines:

❏ Always load the short edge first, even when you’re printing landscape-oriented pictures.

❏ When using special papers, check the paper package for additional instructions. Some papers require using a support sheet included in the package.

Note: Always keep unused paper in the original package and store it flat to prevent curling.

For instructions on loading special papers and envelopes in the printer, see your on-screen User’s Guide.

❏ In a digital camera

❏ On a USB data storage device, such as a CD-R drive, thumb drive, or an Iomega ® Zip ® drive

❏ On a Bluetooth

® -enabled device with the optional

Bluetooth Photo Print adapter

Make sure the image files meet these requirements:

❏ JPEG files or uncompressed Tiff files only

❏ The file storage device complies with DCF (Design rule for

Camera File systems) Version 1.0

❏ Resolutions ranging from 160 × 160 to 4600 × 4600 pixels

3. Insert the tray into the printer carefully, making sure it is level, not tilted up or down.

1. Press the P power button to turn on your Epson Stylus

Photo R340.

2. Open the memory card door.

3. Insert the memory card into one of the three slots, as shown below.

CompactFlash or

Microdrive

(left)

Memory Stick,

SD (Secure Digital), or

MMC (MultiMediaCard)

(middle)

SmartMedia or xD Picture Card

(right)

Note: Insert just one card at a time. See your on-screen User’s

Guide for supported photo file formats.

4. Push the card in carefully until it stops (it doesn’t go in all the way). When it is in, the card light comes on.

Connecting a Digital Camera or External

Storage Device

If you have one of the following devices, you can connect it directly to your printer using a USB cable:

❏ Digital camera with PictBridge ®

or USB DP (USB Direct

Print

™

) support

❏ USB thumb drives (see http://support.epson.com for a list of compatible drives)

❏ USB CD/DVD burners and drives (see http:// support.epson.com for a list of compatible drives)

❏ 100 or 250MB Iomega Zip drive, AC or USB powered

❏ Memory cards with a commercially available USB adapter

(such as the MicroTech

™

ZiO!

™

)

Note: Epson cannot guarantee the compatibility of any cameras or drives. If you’re not sure about your camera or drive, you can try connecting it. If it’s not compatible, you’ll see a screen saying that the connected device cannot be used.

If you are using a Zip disk or a thumb drive, it must be formatted as a FAT16 disk. If you insert a Macintoshformatted Zip disk or thumb drive, you see an error message saying that the inserted card cannot be used with the printer.

Tip: When you connect a CD drive, you can also print photos from Picture CDs that you get from your photo lab.

When you connect a digital camera or storage device, the printer treats it like a memory card. Follow these steps to connect it:

1. Remove any memory cards from the printer.

If you leave a card in the printer, images will be read from the card instead of your camera or storage device.

2. Connect the USB cable from your camera or storage device to the EXT I/F USB port on the front of the printer. Some digital cameras require a special USB cable; if so, be sure to use the one that came with the camera.

Caution: Do not eject a card while the card light is flashing, or you may lose data on the card.



3. Turn on the printer and your camera or storage device.

After a moment, the printer reads and counts the number of images. When it’s done, your images are available for printing.

Note: If you used the Stylus Photo R340 to back up your images on a

Zip disk, CD, or another storage device (see Printer Basics), they’re stored in folders (001, 002, etc.). Use the u and d buttons on the printer’s control panel to highlight the folder you want to open, then press OK to open it.

Testing the Printer

You may need to run a printer check to see if a problem comes from the printer itself or some other source.

1. Make sure any memory cards are removed (page 7), then

disconnect the printer cable from the printer.

2. Make sure that letter size paper is loaded in the sheet feeder, the CD/DVD tray is not inserted in the printer, and the

CD/DVD guide is up.

3. Press the Setup button.

4. Press d to choose Nozzle Check . Press the r button, then press Start . The printer prints the nozzle check pattern.

5. Compare the quality of the printed check page with the sample shown below. If there are no print quality problems, such as gaps or missing segments in the test lines, the printer


Epson Stylus Photo R340 itself is fine. The problem probably lies with the printer driver settings, the application settings, the interface cable

(be sure to use a shielded cable), or the computer itself.

If the check page does not print satisfactorily, as shown below, or if it doesn’t print at all, there is a problem with the printer. For example, if any segment of the printed lines is missing, this could mean a clogged ink nozzle.

Replacing an Ink Cartridge

You can check the status of the ink cartridges by looking at the icons on the control panel.

1. Press Setup .

2. Press d to choose Ink Levels , then press OK .

The level of ink shown on the icons indicates the approximate amount of ink remaining. If an ink cartridge is low, you see a caution symbol. This is a good time to make sure you have a replacement cartridge.

If an ink cartridge is empty, you see a message on the display telling you that the cartridge needs to be replaced.

3. Press OK , then press Setup to exit the Setup menu.

Caution: You cannot print if any ink cartridge is empty. Leave the empty cartridge installed in the printer until you have obtained a replacement, or the ink remaining in the print head nozzles may dry out. To ensure good results, use genuine Epson ink cartridges and do not refill them. Other products may cause damage to your printer not covered by Epson’s warranty.

When an installed cartridge is more than six months old, you may need to replace it if printouts don’t look their best. If the quality doesn’t improve after cleaning and aligning the print head, you can replace the cartridge.

Use these Epson ink cartridges within six months of installing them and before the expiration date on the package:

Removing and Installing Ink Cartridges

Be sure you have a new ink cartridge before you begin. Once you start the ink cartridge replacement procedure, you must complete all the steps in one session.

1. Make sure the printer is turned on and not printing, then open the printer cover.

2. If you see an Ink Out message, press OK. If you don’t see a message, press the Setup button, then Press d to choose

Ink Cartridge Replacement , then press OK . Press OK again. The print head moves to the replacement position.

3. Open the cartridge cover.



4. Press in the tab on the back of the cartridge and lift the cartridge out of the printer. Dispose of it carefully.

Warning: Keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children and do not drink the ink.

If ink gets on your hands, wash them thoroughly with soap and water. If ink gets in your eyes, flush them thoroughly with water.

5. Unwrap the new ink cartridge.

Caution: Don’t touch the green circuit board or remove any labels.

6. Lower the cartridge into the holder, with the green circuit board facing the front. Then gently push the cartridge down until it clicks into place.

7. If you need to replace another ink cartridge, repeat steps 4 through 6 before continuing with step 8.

8. Close the ink cartridge cover.

Cleaning the Print Head

If your printouts are unexpectedly light or faint, or dots or lines are missing from the image, you may need to clean the print head. This unclogs the nozzles so they can deliver ink properly. Print head cleaning uses ink, so clean it only if quality declines.

You can clean the print head either from the printer’s control panel or using your printer software. To clean it using the printer software, the printer must be connected directly to your computer (not over a network); see your on-screen User’s

Guide for details.

Caution: When you don’t turn on your printer for a long time, the print quality can decline, so turn it on at least once a month to maintain good print quality.

Follow these steps to clean the print head from the printer’s control panel:

1. Make sure the printer is turned on but not printing.


3. Press d to highlight Head Cleaning , then press OK .

4. To begin cleaning, press Start . The printer makes noise and you see a message on the LCD screen. Cleaning takes about

30 seconds.

Caution: Do not turn off the printer or interrupt the cleaning process.

5. When cleaning is done, press OK to run a nozzle check to confirm the print head nozzles are clean.

Make sure letter-size plain paper is loaded in the printer, then press Start . The nozzle check pattern prints.

6. Examine the nozzle check pattern you printed. Each staggered horizontal and straight vertical line should be complete, with no gaps in the pattern, as shown below:

9. Press OK and close the printer cover.

The printer begins charging the ink delivery system.

10. When you see a message that charging is complete (after about a minute), press OK .

8/05

❏ If your printout looks okay, you’re done. Press

Back to finish.

❏ If there are any gaps (as shown below), press

OK and then Start to clean the print head again.

Epson Stylus Photo R340 - 11


If you don’t see any improvement after cleaning three or four times, check the solutions in your Printer Basics. You can also turn the printer off and wait overnight—this allows any dried ink to soften—and then try cleaning the print head again.

Aligning the Print Head

If your printouts contain misaligned vertical lines or horizontal banding, you may need to align the print head.

You can align the print head either from the printer’s control panel or using your printer software. To align the print head from the printer software, the printer must be connected directly to your computer (not over a network); see your onscreen User’s Guide for details.

Note: For the best results, load letter-size Epson Photo Quality Ink

Jet Paper in the printer whenever you check the print head alignment.

Follow these steps to align the print head using the control panel:

1. Make sure the printer is turned on but not printing, and lettersize paper is loaded.


3. Press d to choose Head

Alignment , then press OK .

4. Press the x Start button to print the alignment pattern.

5. Once the pattern is done printing, examine the first row or set of boxes (marked #1). Select the box (1-9) which is most evenly printed, with no noticeable streaks or lines. You may need to use a magnifying glass.

6. Press r, press u or d to choose the box number, then press

OK .

7. Repeat step 6 to select the best box for sets #2, #3, and #4.

8. When you’re finished, press OK , then press OK again.

Caution: To avoid damage, always leave the ink cartridges installed when transporting the printer.

1. Turn on the printer, wait until the print head locks in the far right position, then turn off the printer.

2. Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.

3. Remove any memory cards from the printer and close the memory card cover.

4. Remove any paper from the printer, push down the paper support extension, and close the paper support.

5. Open the printer cover. Secure the ink cartridge holder to the printer with tape as shown, then close the printer cover.

6. Make sure the CD/DVD tray guide is closed, then push in the output tray extension and close the output tray.

7. Repack the printer and its attachments in the original box using the protective materials that came with them. See your Start Here sheet.

Keep the printer level as you transport it. After transporting the printer, remove the tape securing the print head and test your printer. If you notice a decline in print quality, clean the

print head (see page 11); if output is misaligned, align the

print head (see page 12).
