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.
