DFX - 5000 DOT - MATRIX PRINTER
Installation/Support Tips

Physical Installation

The DFX-5000 printer is a very easy printer to set up, but
due to the fact that it is a very high -speed machine, special
care must be taken to ensure that a proper paper path is
established. Epson printer stand model 8501 -A is specially
designed to accommodate the printer, and its use is
recommended but not required. This stand provides a catch
bin and a paper supply shelf large enough to hold paper for
both the front and rear tractors, as well as detents, which
hold the printer securely in place.
If this stand is not used, make sure that the paper supply to
both tractors is properly aligned (no skewing to either side)
and that the paper exiting does not interfere with the rear
paper supply. Also ensure that the power and interface
cables are routed away from both incoming and exiting
paper.

Software Installation

The DFX-5000 is code -compatible with the Epson FX
printer series, and therefore it will perform properly with
virtually all popular software. Most software provides Epson
FX printer support, but programs that do not have an FX
driver should work properly if LX, RX, MX, or Epson drivers
are selected.
