When you want to send scanned data by e-mail,
use the Scan to E-mail feature. You can directly
send the data scanned as an e-mail attachment.
You can choose destination e-mail addresses
from the address book on the printer or server.
Or, you can enter the address from the printer’s
operator panel using the numeric keypad.
For more information, see “Sending an E-Mail
With the Scanned Image” on page 180.

For more information, see “Using a Scanner on
the Network” on page 158.
Scanning to a USB Storage Device
You don’t need a computer to connect your USB
storage device to save the scanned data. Insert
your USB storage device in the port on the
printer, and save the scanned data directly to
your USB storage device.
For more information, see “Scanning to a USB
Storage Device” on page 179.
Making Copies From the Document Glass

scan documents using the ADF, load them face
up.
For more information, see “Making Copies
From the ADF” on page 129.
Sending a Fax from the Driver (Direct Fax)
(Direct Fax from PC)
You can directly send faxes from your PC using
the fax driver. You can specify the fax settings

recipient’s fax number using the numeric
keypad, or the address book or phone book.
For more information, see “Sending a Fax from
the Driver (Direct Fax)” on page 202.
Address Book
Address Book simplifies the recipient
specification. You can use the address book on
the printer as well as on the server. Select the
desired address or fax number from the address
book when using the Scan to E-mail or Scan to
Network feature, or sending faxes.
For more information, see “Address Book
Editor” on page 54.

Connecting Printer to Computer or Network
Connect the printer via Ethernet or USB. A USB connection is a direct connection and is not used for
networking. An Ethernet connection is used for networking. Hardware and cabling requirements
vary for the different connection methods. Ethernet cable and hardware are generally not included
with your printer and must be purchased separately.
The available features for each connection type are shown in the following table.
Connection Type Available Features
USB When connected via USB you can:
Instruct print jobs from a computer.
Scan and print an image into an application.
Scan and print an image to a folder on the computer.
Use the Address Book Editor to manage address book entries.
Ethernet When connected via Ethernet you can:
Instruct print jobs from a computer on the network.
Scan to a computer on the network.
Scan to email.
Use EpsonNet Config to manage address book entries.
USB Connection
A local printer is directly connected to your computer using the USB cable. If your printer is connected
to a network instead of your computer, skip this section and go to “Network Connection” on
page 59.
To connect the printer to a computer:
Epson AcuLaser CX29 Series User’s Guide
Network Basics 58
1. Connect the smaller USB connector into the USB port on the rear of the printer.
Note:
Ensure that you match the USB symbol on the cable to the USB symbol on the printer.
2. Connect the other end of the cable into a USB port of the computer.
Note:
Do not connect the printer USB cable to the USB port available on the keyboard.
Network Connection
To connect the printer to a network:
Epson AcuLaser CX29 Series User’s Guide
Network Basics 59
1. Connect an Ethernet cable.
To connect the printer to the network, connect one end of the Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port on
the rear of the printer, and the other end to a LAN drop or hub.
Setting the IP Address
TCP/IP and IP Addresses
If your computer is on a large network, contact your network administrator for the appropriate TCP/
IP addresses and additional system settings information.
If you are creating your own small Local Area Network or connecting the printer directly to your
computer using Ethernet, follow the procedure for automatically setting the printer’s IP address.
Computers and printers primarily use TCP/IP protocols to communicate over an Ethernet network.
With TCP/IP protocols, each printer and computer must have a unique IP addres s. It is important that
the addresses are similar, but not the same; only the last digit needs to be different. For example, your
printer can have the address 192.168.1.2 while your computer has the address 192.168.1.3. Another
device can have the address 192.168.1.4.
Many networks have a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. A DHCP server
automatically programs an IP address into every computer and printer on the network that is
configured to use DHCP. A DHCP server is built into most cable and Digital Subscriber Line (DSL)
routers. If you use a cable or DSL router, see your router’s documentation for information on IP
addressing.
Epson AcuLaser CX29 Series User’s Guide
Network Basics 60
Automatically Setting the Printer’s IP Address
If the printer is connected to a small established TCP/IP network without a DHCP server, use the
installer on the Software Disc to detect or assign an IP address to your printer. For further
instructions, insert the Software Disc into your computer’s CD/DVD drive. After the Installer
launches, follow the prompts for installation.
Note:
For the automatic installer to function, the printer must be connected to an established TCP/IP network.
Dynamic Methods of Setting the Printer’s IP Address
There are two protocols available for dynamically setting the printer’s IP address:
DHCP (enabled by default)
AutoIP
You can turn on/off both protocols using the operator panel, or use EpsonNet Config to turn on/off
DHCP.
Note:
You can print a report that includes the printer’s IP address. On the operator panel, press the System
button, select Report/List, press the
button, select System Settings, and then press the
button. The IP address is listed on the System Settings page.
Using the Operator Panel

EpsonNet Config, use the link local address. To check a link local address, see “Printing and Checking
the System Settings Page” on page 65 on page 68.
Assigning an IP address is considered as an advanced function and is normally done by a system
administrator.
Depending on the address class, the range of the IP address assigned may be different. On Class A, for
example, an IP address in the range from 0.0.0.0 to 127.255.255.255 will be assigned. For

About Print Media
Using paper that is not appropriate for the printer can cause paper jams, image quality problems, or
printer failure. To achieve the best performance from your printer, we recommend you to use only the
paper described in this section.
When using paper other than that recommended, contact the Epson local representative office or an
authorised dealer.
Print Media Usage Guidelines
The printer tray accommodates most sizes and types of paper and other specialty media. Follow these
guidelines when loading paper and media in the tray:
Envelopes can be printed from the single sheet feeder (SSF) and standard 250-sheet tray.
Fan paper or other specialty media before loading in the paper tray.
Do not print on label stock once a label has been removed from a sheet.
Use only paper envelopes. Do not use envelopes with windows, metal clasps, or adhesives with
release strips.
Print all envelopes single-sided only.
Some wrinkling and embossing may occur when printing envelopes.
Do not overload the paper tray. Do not load print media above the fill line on the inside of the paper
width guides.
Adjust the paper width guides to fit the paper size.
If excessive jams or wrinkles occur, use paper or other media from a new package.
w
Warning:
Do not use conductive paper such as origami paper, carbonic paper or conductively-coated paper.
When paper jam occurs, it may cause short-circuit and eventually a fire accident.

Preprinted paper with chemicals that may contaminate the printer.
Preprinted paper that can be affected by the temperature in the fuser unit.
Preprinted paper that requires a registration (the precise print location on the page) greater than
±0.09 inches, such as optical character recognition (OCR) forms.
In some cases, you can adjust registration with your software program to successfully print on
these forms.
Coated paper (erasable bond), synthetic paper, and thermal paper.
Rough-edged, rough or heavily textured surface paper, or curled paper.
Recycled paper containing more than 25% post-consumer waste that does not meet DIN 19 309.
Multiple-part forms or documents.
Print quality may deteriorate (blank spaces or blotches may appear in the text) when you print on
talc or acid paper.

Using the Stored Print Function
When you send a job to the printer, you can specify in the driver that you want the printer to store the
job in the memory. When you are ready to print the job, go to the printer and use the operator panel
menus to identify which job in the memory you want to print.
The stored print function includes the following job types:
“Secure Print” on page 104
“Sample Print” on page 104
Note:
Stored Print function is available when:
The additional memory module is installed.
The RAM disk is enabled in the operator panel menu.
RAM Disk is set to Available in the print driver.
The data in memory is cleared when the printer is turned off.
Secure Print
You can store print jobs temporarily in printer memory and print them later from the operator panel.
This feature can be used to print confidential documents. A stored print job will be deleted after you
print it or at a designated time.
Note:
Secure Print is available when you use the PCL driver.
Secure Print requires specifying a password for confidentiality.
Sample Print
When you specify multiple copies for a collated job, this feature allows you to print only the first set for
checking, before proceeding to print the remaining copies at the printer. You can select whether the
remaining data is printed or deleted.
Note:
If a print job is too large for the memory available, the print may display error messages.
Epson AcuLaser CX29 Series User’s Guide
Printing Basics 104
If a document name is not assigned to your print job in the print driver, the job’s name will be
identified using the printer’s time and date of submission to distinguish it from other jobs you have
stored under your name.
Sample Print is available when you use the PCL driver.
Storing Print Jobs
In the print driver, you can specify a setting that enables you to store print jobs in temporary memory.
For example, select a job type other than Normal Print or Fax in the Paper / Output tab of the PCL 6
driver. The job will be stored in temporary memory until you request to print it from the operator
panel or turn off the printer.
Printing the Stored Jobs
Once jobs are stored, you can use the operator panel to specify printing. Select the job type you are
using from Secure Print and Sample Print. Then, select your user ID from a list. Secure Print requires
the password you specified in the driver when you sent the job.
To print the stored documents, use the procedure below.
1. Press the Print button.
2. Select Secure Print or Sample Print, and then press the
button.
3. Select your user ID, and then press the
button.
4. Select the document you want to print, and then press the
button.
5. Select the desired job type, and then press the
button.
6. Select Use PC Settings or Input Number of Copies, and then press the
button.
Note:
When you select Input Number of Copies, you can specify the number of copies to be printed
before pressing the
button.
The stored document will be printed.
Specifying Your Password on the Operator Panel (Secure Print)
When you select your user ID for Secure Print, the following prompt appears:
Epson AcuLaser CX29 Series User’s Guide
Printing Basics 105
[_ ]
Use the buttons on the operator panel to enter the numeric password you specified in the print driver.
The password you entered will be displayed as asterisks (*******) to ensure confidentiality.
If you enter an invalid password, the message “Wrong password Re-enter” appears. Wait three
seconds, or press the
button to return to the screen for user selection.
When you enter a valid password, you have access to all print jobs matching the user name and
password you entered. The print jobs matching the password you entered appear on the screen. You
can then choose to print or to delete jobs matching the password you entered. (See “Printing the Stored
Jobs” on page 105 for more information.)
Deleting Stored Jobs
With Secure Print, a job that has been stored will be deleted after printing if entered on the operator
panel or at turning off the printer.
For Sample Print, these jobs remain stored until you delete them on the operator panel or turn off the
printer.
Direct Print Using the USB Storage Device
The Print from USB Memory feature allows you to print files stored in a USB storage device by
operating from the operator panel.
Important:
To prevent damage to your printer, DO NOT connect any device other than USB storage device to the

than 8.5 in. by 14 in. (215.9 mm by 355.6 mm), different sizes or weights together, or booklets,
pamphlets, transparencies, or documents having other unusual characteristics in ADF.
Carbon-paper or carbon-backed paper, coated paper, onion skin or thin paper, wrinkled or creased
paper, curled or rolled paper or torn paper cannot be used in ADF.

Scanning
Scanning Overview
You can use your Epson AcuLaser CX29 Series to turn pictures and text into editable images on your
computer.
The resolution setting to use when you scan an item depends on the item type and how you plan to use
the image or document after you scan it into your computer. For the best results, use these
recommended settings.
Type Resolution
Documents 300 dpi black-and-white or 200 dpi grayscale or color
Documents of poor quality or that contain small text 400 dpi black-and-white or 300 dpi grayscale
Photographs and pictures 100–200 dpi color or 200 dpi grayscale
Images for an inkjet printer 150–300 dpi
Images for a high-resolution printer 300–600 dpi
Scanning beyond these recommended resolutions may exceed the capabilities of the application. If
you require a resolution above those recommended in the above table, you should reduce the size of
the image by previewing (or pre-scan) and cropping before scanning the image.
Installing the Scan Driver
If you plan to import scanned images directly into an application (such as Adobe
®
Photoshop
®
or
Microsoft® Clip Organizer), or scan images directly to your computer, you must install a scan driver.
For Windows
To install the scan driver from the Software Disc:

Clearing Jams
Careful selection of appropriate print media and proper loading allow you to avoid most jams.
See Also:
“About Print Media” on page 86
“Supported Print Media” on page 88
Note:
Before buying large quantities of any print media, it is recommended that you try a sample first.
Avoiding Jams
Use only recommended print media.
See “Loading Print Media in the Standard 250-Sheet Tray and the Optional 250-Sheet Paper
Cassette Unit” on page 92 and “Loading Print Media in the Single Sheet Feeder (SSF)” on page 97
to load print media properly.
Do not overload the print media sources. Ensure that the print media stack height does not exceed
the maximum height indicated by the load-line labels in the tray.
Do not load wrinkled, creased, damp, or curled print media.
Flex, fan, and straighten print media before you load it. If a jam occurs with print media, try
feeding one sheet at a time through the single sheet feeder (SSF).
Do not use print media that you have cut or trimmed.
Do not mix print media sizes, weights, or types in the same print media source.
Ensure that the recommended print side is face up when you load the print media in the standard
250-sheet tray and the optional 250-sheet paper cassette unit. Also, the recommended print side
should be face down when you use the SSF.
Keep print media stored in an acceptable environment.
Do not remove the feeding tray during a print job.
Epson AcuLaser CX29 Series User’s Guide
Troubleshooting 304
Push the tray in firmly after loading.
Ensure that all cables that connect to the printer are correctly attached.
Overtightening the guides may cause jams.
Wipe the feed roll in the tray or SSF with a cloth that is slightly dampened with water if jams caused
by misfeeding paper occur frequently.

Determining Values
On the color registration chart, there are two types of charts: Chart 1 (fast scan) and Chart 2 (slow
scan).
Epson AcuLaser CX29 Series User’s Guide
Troubleshooting 355
The Chart 1 is used to adjust the color registration for the fast scan direction, which is vertical to paper
feed direction. The Chart 2 is used to adjust the color registration for the slow scan direction, which is
horizontal to paper feed direction.
The following sections explain how to determine the adjustment values for the fast scan and the slow
scan using Chart 1 and Chart 2.
Fast Scan
On the Chart 1 of the color registration chart, find the straightest lines where the two black lines and
the colored line are most closely aligned for each color (Y, M, and C). If you find the straightest line,
make a note of the value (-9 to +9) indicated by the straightest line for each color.
When the value is 0 for each color, you do not need to adjust the color registration for the fast scan.
When the value is not 0, enter the value using the procedure in “Entering Values” on page 357.
* Straightest line
Slow Scan
On the Chart 2 of the color registration chart, find the medium line within the range of white area for
each color pattern (Y, M, and C). If you find the medium line, make a note of the value (-9 to +9)
indicated by the medium line for each color.
When the value is 0 for each color, you do not need to adjust the color registration for the slow scan.
When the value is not 0, enter the value using the procedure in “Entering Values” on page 357.

printing, if an error occurs after one side is printed properly, it is counted as one.
When printing color data, which has been converted by using ICC profile on an application, with the
Color (Auto) setting, the data is printed by color even if it seems to be black and white data on the
monitor. In that case, Total Impression is increased.
When doing 2-sided printing, a blank page may be inserted automatically depending on the settings of
the application. In this case, the blank page is counted as one page.
For information about the individual meter, see “Billing Meters” on page 229.
