HIGH-SPEED PERFORMANCE AND
RUGGED RELIABILITY.

Built to handle all your multipart forms printing
needs, the EPSON LQ-570e has the speed and
durability to keep up with the most demanding
workload. An innovative design enables its print head
to move faster than in most impact printers: printing
up to 400 characters per second (cps) in high-speed
draft mode, it races through all your critical tasks.
And, if you’re replacing an existing impact printer, the
LQ-570e is the right choice to make—with state-of-the­art technology, application flexibility and lasting Epson
quality.

This energy-efficient printer represents narrow
format, EPSON 24-pin technology at its best. With
exceptional paper handling capabilities, including
5-part forms printing and multiple loading options, the
LQ-570e tackles daily forms printing requirements with
ease. With its font versatility and optional film ribbon
cartridge, the LQ-570e produces high quality,
professional text.

It’s great for the busy back office where you need
a high performance impact printer to print tickets,
purchase orders, mailing labels, packing slips, contracts
or invoices. And, made with legendary Epson reliability,
the rugged LQ-570e boasts a durable 10,000 power­on-hours (POH) mean-time-between-failure (MTBF)
rating.

The LQ-570e is compatible with most software
applications and integrates easily into nearly all
network platforms. From the world leader in impact
printing, the EPSON LQ-570e delivers the performance
you’re looking for, with superior
reliability and support.
