Rock-Solid Reliability...
The Epson DFX-8500 brings a new level of reliability to high-speed dot matrix printing. Offering the rock-solid reliability you need for high-volume printing, and speed that rivals that of a low-end line printer, the DFX-8500 is surprisingly affordable and compact. To top it off, it offers class-leading networking flexibility and paper handling versatility.
High Speed Reliability
The DFX-8500 is ultra-fast, and can deliver draft mode output at a speed of 1120 cps - a level that compares favourably with dedicated line printers that cost several times as much. Yet it offers this speed without any sacrifice in dependability, and is durable enough to withstand heavy use in demanding environments.
Unrivalled Networking Flexibility
Flexibility is another big advantage of the DFX-8500. Fully networkable in multi-platform environments, it supports Windows™ 3.1, Windows™ 95, Windows™ NT, Netware® and Unix® operating systems.
Optional ethernet connectivity extends your networking capabilities even further, making the DFX-8500 an ideal choice when multiple users need to access its high-speed printing power.
Ultra-Versatile Paper Handling
You know it's an Epson with this kind of ultra-versatile paper handling. Featuring both rear and front paper paths, the DFX-8500 can handle everything from single sheet paper to seven-part forms. A built-in memory module allows Windows™ 95* users to store settings for as many as eight different forms and two special paper types. You can select the one you want right from your PC via the user-friendly Status Monitor. To expand functionality further, you can also choose from a full range of optional extras - including a pull tractor, a paper cutter and a foolproof new perforation cutter. However you cut it, the DFX-8500 is one of the most versatile printers in its class.
