Why my Epson LQ-570e does not load continuous paper properly?
- C
  Carlos GravesSep 8, 2025
  If your Epson printer isn't loading continuous paper, the paper release lever might not be set correctly; set it to the tractor position for the paper source you want to use. If single-sheet paper is in the paper path, set the paper release lever to the single-sheet position and press the Load/Eject button to eject the sheet, then return the lever to the tractor position. Also, ensure that the paper thickness lever is correctly set to match the thickness of your paper.

Why Epson LQ-570e Printer does not print when computer sends data?
- A
  Austin KellerAug 22, 2025
  The Epson printer might not be printing because it is paused. Try pressing the Pause button. Another reason could be that the interface cable is not securely plugged in; ensure both ends of the cable are firmly connected between the printer and the computer. Also, the interface cable might not meet the printer or computer specifications, so use a compliant cable. Finally, your software might not be properly set up for your printer; select your printer from the Windows desktop or in your application.

  If your Epson printer does not fully eject a single sheet, your paper may be too long. Press the Load/Eject button to eject the sheet.

  If part of the printout is missing, or dots are missing in random positions on your Epson printer, the ribbon may have too much slack, be loose, or the ribbon cartridge may not be installed properly.

What to do if Epson LQ-570e has extra blank lines?

  Kevin BoothAug 29, 2025
  If your Epson printer's printout has extra blank lines between lines of text, it could be because two line feed commands are being sent at the end of each line. Turn off the auto line feed setting using the printer’s default-setting mode or the EPSON Remote! utility. Additionally, the line space setting in your application software might be incorrect; adjust it accordingly.
