What’s new about the EPSON®LQ-570e?

It’s faster, more

durable, and handles more parts per form. But don’t worry; it

works the same way as the EPSON LQ-570+. Take a few minutes

to read this booklet so you can get up and running quickly.

About Your EPSON LQ-570e

This booklet briefly describes the new features provided by the

EPSON LQ-570e. It is intended for LQ-570+ users who are

upgrading to the LQ-570e. If you are not familiar with the

LQ-570+, please see the LQ-570e User’s Guide for detailed

instructions on using the printer.

Your new LQ-570e printer is very similar to the LQ-570+,

only better. It’s faster, more reliable, and accommodates more

copies per multi-part form (4 plus 1 original). It is backward-

compatible with the LQ-570+, so you should not have any

problems matching the software settings you’re already using.

Be sure to consult the LQ-570e User’s Guide for setup instructions

and detailed information about your printer.

Printer Software

The LQ-570e comes with printer software on a CD-ROM which

includes a printer driver for Microsoft®Windows®and some

helpful utilities. You do not need to install this driver if you are

happy with the driver(s) you are currently using for your

LQ-570+. The LQ-570e printer hardware is backward-compatible

with ESC/P2 software drivers.

If you decide to install the software, you can take advantage of

the following features:

❏A printer driver which lets you control printing.

❏The EPSON Status Monitor 3 utility for Windows versions 95,

98, and NT 4.0 (or later). The Status Monitor displays

information about the printer’s status and lets you know if

there is a problem with a print job.

❏The EPSON Remote! utility, a DOS-based printer setup utility

that lets you change printer default settings from your

monitor screen. (This provides an alternative way to change

the default settings as described on page 9.)

See the LQ-570e User’s Guide for instructions on installing and

using the printer software.

Location of the Knob

The knob (for clearing paper jams) is located on the left side of the

LQ-570e. Use this knob only when the printer is off. Otherwise,

you may damage the printer or lose the top-of-form or tear-off

position.

Paper Handling

While the LQ-570e handles paper much like the LQ-570+, there

are certain differences. Be sure to consult your LQ-570e User’s

Guide for instructions on loading and removing paper, changing

the tractor position, and switching between continuous and single

sheets.

Selecting Fonts

On the LQ-570e, you can select from 12 fonts, 6 of which are

available through the Font button. To choose one of the other 6

fonts, you need to change the default setting by assigning the

desired font as “Others.” (See “Changing Settings Through the

Default Setting Mode” on page 9 for more information.)

The 6 fonts available through the Font button are Draft, Roman,

Sans Serif, Courier, Prestige, and Script. The 6 fonts available

through the default setting mode are OCR-B, Orator, Orator-S,

Script-C, Roman-T, and Sans Serif H.

Adjusting for Different Top and Bottom Margins

The LQ-570e allows for smaller top and bottom margins—4.2 mm

(.17 inch) for both—increasing the maximum printable area on the

page. You will not notice any difference in printing unless you

have specified margins in your software applications that are less

than the minimum allowed by the LQ-570+ (5.3 mm [.2 inch] for

the top and 9 mm [.35 inch] for the bottom). In this case you may

need to adjust your top and bottom margin settings through your

software or by adjusting the top-of-form position. See your

LQ-570e User’s Guide.

Adjusting the Loading (Top-of-Form) and Tear-off

Positions with Micro Adjust

The LQ-570+ micro-feed feature is now called the Micro Adjust

mode on the LQ-570e. To adjust the top-of-form or tear-off

position, make sure paper is loaded in the printer. Then hold

down the Pause button for 3 seconds to enter Micro Adjust

mode. Make sure the Pause light is flashing. Then press the

Load/Eject

Uor LF/FF

Dbutton to adjust the position. When you

are done, press Pause again.

No More DIP Switches

The LQ 570e has no DIP switches. The functions defined by DIP

switch settings on the LQ-570+ are now selected through the

Default Setting Mode on the LQ-570e. See the following section.

Changing Settings Through the Default Setting Mode

The LQ-570e includes a Default Setting mode which lets you set

the functions controlled by DIP switch settings on the LQ-570+,

plus a number of additional features. The table belowsummarizes

the differences. (Default settings are in bold.) To enter the Default

Setting mode, make sure the printer is off and paper is loaded.

Then hold down the Font button and press the power switch to

turn on the printer. Instructions are printed which you can follow

to change any settings. When you are finished, turn off the printer

to exit the Default Setting mode.

Note:

You can also change the default settings using the EPSON Remote!

utility. See Chapter 5 in your LQ-570e User’s Guide.
