A professional printer for professional applications, the DFX "system" printer is a high-performance machine built for heavy-duty, high-throughput data processing tasks. This brings EPSON paper handling, performance and durability to "mission-critical" applications. The DFX-5000+ comes equipped with twin high-speed tractor feeds allowing continuous paper to be loaded both in front and rear. At 560 characters per second the EPSON DFX5000+ is undeniably fast and smart. It detects paper thickness up to six part forms and adjusts the print head automatically to prevent paper jams. The DFX-5000+ stops itself in the unlikely event of a paper jam and does not print off the sides of the paper.
