Physical installation

The DFX-5000+ printer is very easy to set up, but because it is
a very high-speed machine, take special care to ensure that a
proper paper path is established. EPSON printer stand model
8502 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.
The following illustration shows three ways to position the
printer and paper supply: with the front tractor loaded, with
the rear tractor loaded, and with both tractors loaded.
