About Your Printer
Your printer is the latest in EPSON’s advanced line of laser
printers.
The printer’s 600/300-dpi (dots per inch) resolution is enhanced
by EPSON’s Resolution Improvement Technology (RITech),
which smooths the jagged edges of diagonal and curved lines in
both text and graphics. This gives your documents a clean, crisp
professional appearance.
The printer is easy to install and use. You simply set up the printer,
connect it to your computer, and install the printer driver as
described in the
Getting Ready
guide.
The printer supports ECP mode in Windows 95/98 and Windows
NT 4.0. ECP mode is useful for high-speed data transfer and
bidirectional communication with your computer.
Features
The printer comes with a full set of features that contributes to
ease of use and consistent, high-quality output. The main features
are described below.
2
Getting Started
High-quality printing
Your printer provides 600/300-dpi printing at a speed of up to
eight pages per minute. You’ll appreciate the professional print
quality produced by your printer and its quick processing speed.
Toner Save Mode
To reduce the amount of toner used in printing documents, you
can print drafts using the Toner Save Mode.
Options
The printer comes with built-in bidirectional parallel interface,
USB interface, and 2 MB of memory, which can be expanded up
to 13 MB. The 500-Sheet Lower Cassette Unit (C81287✽ for A4 size
paper, C81288✽ for Letter size paper), automatically feeds up to
500 A4 and Letter size sheets without reloading. The Face-up Tray
(C81286✽) is recommended for printing on media such as labels
and transparencies that require a straight-through paper path.

Using Your Printer
Accessing the printer driver
You can access your printer driver directly from most Windowsbased applications, or from your Windows operating system, as
explained below. The printer driver settings made from many
Windows applications override settings made when the driver is
accessed from the operating system, so in most cases you should
access the driver from your application to make sure you get the
results you want.

Note for using shared printers in Windows NT 4.0
If you are using a shared printer in Windows NT 4.0, it is
important that you follow the instructions below carefully,
especially “Accessing the printer through a network,” which
describes how to install the printer driver on NT 4.0 clients. If you
do not follow these instructions, you may not be able to properly
install or use the printer driver.
First, you need to set up the printer as a shared printer on the
computer to which the printer is connected. Then, you must
specify the network path to the printer from each computer that
will use it, and install the printer software on those computers.
Setting up your printer as a shared printer
Follow these steps to share a printer that is connected directly to
your computer with others on a network.

Using Your Printer
Using the DMA
Faster printing with a Direct Memory Access (DMA) is possible
if your printer is connected to your computer through an
Extended Capability Port (ECP), a type of parallel port with
expanded specifications. With the DMA and the ECP, you can
send print-job data directly to the printer without going through
the CPU, which increases the effectiveness of data flow.
Before using DMA to transmit a print job confirm the following
points.
Check if your computer supports DMA. To confirm if your
❏
computer has an ECP chip installed, contact the manufacturer
or look in the computer’s documentation.
Confirm the parallel port setting is “ECP” or “ENHANCED”
❏
through the BIOS Setup. Refer to your computer’s
documentation to set the BIOS. However, before setting the
BIOS, uninstall the EPL-5700L/EPL-5700i printer driver.
After setting the BIOS, re-install the printer driver.
Confirming if you can use DMA
Using DMA increases your printing speed. You can confirm if
your computer can use DMA by checking the
tab under
Properties
in your Printer driver.

Paper Handling
The printer can feed paper from either of two sources: the
standard paper-tray or the optional lower cassette.
Please note the following points:
Paper should be high quality and relatively smooth with a
❏
weight between 60 and 90 g/m² (16 to 24 lb).
The printer is extremely sensitive to moisture. Be sure to store
❏
your paper in a dry environment.
Use of colored paper is acceptable, but coated paper should
❏
be avoided.
You may use paper with preprinted letterheads, provided
❏
that the paper and ink are both laser-printer type.
Loading the paper-tray
You can load up to 150 sheets of plain paper into the paper-tray.
To load paper, follow these steps:
1. Lift off the tray cover.

Using Your Printer
2. Fan a stack of paper and tap it on a flat surface to even the
edges. Insert the paper printable side up into the tray and
adjust the paper guides.

Note:
Before printing make sure the Paper Size setting in your printer
driver matches the paper you load.
3. Place the cover on the paper-tray.

4. Raise the extension output tray.
Note:
❏
If you want to print on paper heavier than 90g/m2 (24 lb) or on
special paper (such as envelopes, labels, or transparencies), see
“Printing on special media” on page 1-13.
❏
When you feed paper manually, be sure to change the

feed slot. Insert a single sheet with the printable side up, as far as it
will go into the manual feed slot above the paper-tray cover. Adjust
the paper guides to match the paper size you are using.

Using Your Printer
Printing on special media
Note:
Since the quality of any particular brand or type of paper may be changed
by the manufacturer at any time, EPSON cannot guarantee the quality
of any type of paper. Always test samples of paper stock before purchasing
large quantities or printing large jobs.
The EPL-5700L/EPL-5700i Laser Printer can print on special
paper stock such as heavy paper, envelopes, labels, and
transparencies.
Envelopes
You can load five to ten envelopes depending on thickness (60 to
90 g/m²) in the paper-tray. Load envelopes with the flap side
down and short edge first.
The printing quality on envelopes may be irregular because
different parts of an envelope have different thicknesses. Print one
or two envelopes to check the print quality. If the printing is too
light, adjust the print density as described in “Adjusting print
density” on page 1-15.
Do not use window envelopes unless they are specially designed
for laser printers. The plastic on most window envelopes will melt
when it comes into contact with the hot fuser.
1
Labels
You can load five to ten sheets of labels in the paper-tray.
However, you may need to feed some types of labels one sheet at
a time in the paper-tray.
Use only labels designed for laser printers or plain-paper copiers.
To prevent the adhesive from coming into contact with printer
parts, always use labels that completely cover the backing sheet,
with no gaps between the individual labels.
Using Your Printer
1-13
You should test the label sheet for leaking adhesive by pressing a
sheet of paper on top of a sheet of labels. If the paper sticks, do
not use the labels.
Transparencies
You can load up to five transparencies in the paper-tray.
However, you may need to feed some types of Labels one sheet
at a time in the paper-tray.
You can use only overhead projector transparencies and adhesive
drafting film made for use with laser printers or plain-paper
copiers.

.
If the pattern still needs to be improved, you may also have to
change the print density setting. See the next section for more
information.
Adjusting print density
Do not change the print density unless it is necessary. Changing
the print density affects all text and graphics, so check the new
setting by printing several pages with various kinds of text and
graphics.
If your printout is too light or too dark, adjust the print density
by using the printer driver. Change the Density setting on the
Panel menu in the printer driver.
Note:
Increasing the print density increases toner consumption. If you select
darker print, you may need to replace the developer cartridge more often.
