LQ-570e Impact Printer

The LQ-570e printer is very similar to the LQ-570+, only better. It's faster, more reliable, and accommodates more copies per multi-part form (4 plus 1 original). It is backward-compatible with the LQ-570+, so you should not have any problems matching the software settings you're already using. The OPERATE and ALT buttons have been removed, along with the OPERATE, DATA, and MULTI-PART lights. This table summarizes the basic specification differences for the two models.
