Back catalogue – DFX-5000+
The Epson DFX-5000+ printer is an advanced dot matrix printer designed for business applications.
It boasts extra-fast printing speeds, of up to 560 characters per second in draft mode. It has two built-in push tractors (front and rear) for convenient paper handling. This dual system lets you switch between different types of continuous paper quickly and easily. The printer remembers separate top-of-form positions for each tractor.
The DFX-5000+ also has an optional pull tractor available, which improves the handling of heavy multi-part forms and labels. It also enhances printing alignment on pre-printed forms.
The DFX-5000+ has 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.
A printer that competes in every event, from sprints to endurance runs. The DFX-5000+ is an all-round winner in the business field.
