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. DFX-5000 4 12/12/88 9 - Pin Printers
