Page 8 highlights

Adjusting for Different Top and Bottom Margins The LQ-570e allows for smaller top and bottom margins-4.2 mm (.17 inch) for both-increasing the maximum printable area on the page. You will not notice any difference in printing unless you have specified margins in your software applications that are less than the minimum allowed by the LQ-570+ (5.3 mm [.2 inch] for the top and 9 mm [.35 inch] for the bottom). In this case you may need to adjust your top and bottom margin settings through your software or by adjusting the top-of-form position. See your LQ-570e User's Guide. Adjusting the Loading (Top-of-Form) and Tear-off Positions with Micro Adjust The LQ-570+ micro-feed feature is now called the Micro Adjust mode on the LQ-570e. To adjust the top-of-form or tear-off position, make sure paper is loaded in the printer. Then hold down the Pause button for 3 seconds to enter Micro Adjust mode. Make sure the Pause light is flashing. Then press the Load/Eject U or LF/FF D button to adjust the position. When you are done, press Pause again. No More DIP Switches The LQ 570e has no DIP switches. The functions defined by DIP switch settings on the LQ-570+ are now selected through the Default Setting Mode on the LQ-570e.
