Options

The following options are available for use with your DFX printer. For detailed information on the installation and use of these options, see Chapter 6.

Pull tractor

This option improves the handling of heavy multi-part forms and labels. It also enhances printing alignment on preprinted forms.

Optional interface boards

A number of optional interface boards can be used to supplement the DFX-5000’s built-in parallel and serial interfaces. Guidelines for choosing the right interface and instructions for installing an interface board are given in Chapter 6.

Coax and Twinax interface boards

Two other interface boards on the market (Coax and Twinax) let you use the DFX-5000 as a local printer for your IBM@ mainframe or minicomputer. These boards connect directly to the printer and allow it to function as a local IBM printer without the addition of any other circuitry or components.

Printer stand

The DFX-5000’s printer stand conveniently holds both front and rear paper supplies as well as stacks of printed output. The stand is on casters so you can move the printer easily.
