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 below summarizes 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.
