Introduction
The Epson
®
DFX-5000 printer is an advanced dot matrix printer
designed for business applications. The printer combines high
performance and reliability with a wide range of features
including high-speed printing and automatic paper handling.
Here are some of the features that make the DFX-5000 unique:
Extra-fast printing speeds of up to 533 characters per second in
draft mode.
Two built-in push tractors (front and rear) for convenient
paper handling. This dual system lets you switch between
types of continuous paper quickly and easily. The printer
remembers separate top of form positions for each tractor.
A front tractor that combines bottom feeding with easy front
access.
Automatic thickness adjustment for various paper types,
including multi-part forms and labels.
An improved control panel design that lets you select almost
any feature with a single button.
An automatic paper handling system that lets you control all
operations from the control panel. For example, you can
switch between paper loaded on the front and rear tractors
with the push of a button. Another button feeds the paper
forward so you can tear it off, and then reverses it to the top of
the page so it is ready to print.
Compatibility with the EPSON ESC/P commands used by
Epson FX printers.
