Features
In addition to the high-quality printing and ease of operation you
expect from Epson printers, the
DFX-8000
offers the following:
Extra-fast printing speeds of up to
1066
characters
per
second at
10
cpi
(characters per inch) or
960
characters per second at
I.2
cpi,
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,
An automatic paper back-out feature that allows you to switch
between paper loaded on the front or rear tractor without
removing either paper supply.
A short tear-off feature that saves paper. When a sheet of
continuous paper is torn off at the end of a printout, the printer
reverse-feeds the remaining paper so that printing can begin at
the top of the next sheet.
A paper memory feature that produces high quality printing on
your multi-part forms by using stored paper format and
thickness information to adjust the print head.
A width detection feature that automatically adjusts the printing
to match the width of the paper loaded in the printer. This
prevents the printer from printing directly on the platen, which
damages the print head.
