Back catalogue – EPL-5700L
The Epson EPL-5700L is the ideal laser printing solution for small business and home offices, as well as for personal use in large companies. It gives you exactly what you want from a laser printer - high quality - with highly detailed 1200 dpi class resolution. Plus quick 8 ppm output, convenient operation and a USB interface for compatibility with both Windows and G3/iMac computers.
1200 dpi Class Quality for a Professional Look
Although the EPL-5700L is smaller than you expect a laser printer to be, the print quality will more than meet your requirements. Epson's proprietary technologies, BiRITech (Bi Resolution Improvement Technology) and MicroGray 1200 provide 1200 dpi class output - that means that type and graphs are crisp and clear, while photos are sharp and precisely shaded. For presentations to your boss or client, this is the printer you'll depend on.
The Speed You Need - 8 pages per minute
No matter what the job, one thing never changes - it's always in a hurry. Which is why you'll appreciate getting high quality printouts at 8 pages a minute. Whether you're rushing to a meeting or beating a deadline, this compact printer will have your work ready and waiting on your desk.
USB and Parallel Interface for Full Compatibility
The EPL-5700L is equipped with a USB interface that provides high-speed data transfer with just one connection. This makes it compatible with Windows 98/2000 machines as well as G3/G4 USB and iMac models. There's also an IEEE1284 bi-directional parallel interface with ECP mode compatibility.
Easy Operation with Visual Confirmation
An easy to use and highly intuitive advanced Epson Printer driver. The printer can be used with a minimum of fuss, while Epson Status Monitor 3 provides an easily used display of information such as the amount of paper and toner available.
Reliable Data Transfer Maximizes Quality
The EPL-5700L uses an Epson-developed controller. Providing high-speed, robust data transfer between printer and computer, it allows the print data processing to be handled by the computer, so the printer's CPU can focus on optimising laser printing quality. The controller is compatible with Windows95/98/2000/NT4.0 and Mac® OS 8.1 to 9.X(USB only).
Versatile Paper-Handling Convenience
You can print on a variety of paper sizes, as well as postcards and envelopes. The regular paper tray holds 150 sheets, and you can add the optional 500-sheet tray for a total capacity of 650 sheets. Both of these trays have covers to prevent objects and dust from entering. An optional face-up tray gives you face-up output and prevents curling of thicker sheets such as postcards.
