Printing on special media Note: 1 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. 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

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.
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.
