Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  • What separates the DFX-5000+ model from the legacy baseline DFX-5000?
    The principal hardware upgrade on the DFX-5000+ is the introduction of an Automatic Platen Gap sensor array and slightly enhanced high-speed drive electronics. The built-in thickness tracker reads multi-part carbon stacks dynamically and positions the printhead automatically, eliminating manual platen lever errors. It also improves high-speed draft output to a blistering 560 characters per second and adds a native RS-232C serial connection panel straight out of the box.
  • Can I keep two different multi-part accounting forms loaded inside the machine simultaneously?
    Yes. Thanks to the integrated dual push-tractor mechanisms, operators can keep a front-loading shipping manifest stack and a rear-loading inventory billing stack mounted to the tractor pins at the same time. The front panel interface board allows you to switch data paths cleanly with a single button click, removing the hassle of manual media reloads between work runs.
  • Can I link up this industrial hardware to a modern computer workstation?
    The native interface panel on this motherboard configuration features a traditional Centronics Parallel port connection slot alongside an RS-232C serial port panel. To connect this workhorse printer seamlessly to a modern laptop or desktop computer that lacks a parallel port, you will need a separate, high-quality Parallel-to-USB converter adapter cable or a network print server hub accessory.
