Charging out of the gate comes a swift and superbly reliable performer for high volume, heavy duty business printing: the Epson DFX-8500 impact printer. In the toughest environments, the DFX-8500 speeds through demanding print jobs at up to 1120 characters per second. Day after day, you can count on it to race through everything from accounting reports, spreadsheets and seven-part forms to shipping documents, and mailing labels. The DFX-8500 runs fast on most network tracks, too. Its built-in Type B interface slot accepts optional interface boards to connect with your Ethernet, Twinax and/or Coax network. That means this printer fits in whatever business you're in.

Windows 9x users can even program this hard-running workhorse to remember up to eight different forms and two special paper types. Simply preset the form utility and the printer recalls which paper, paper size and paper path goes with a particular printing task.

The DFX-8500 also adjusts automatically for varying paper thickness and, using the optional perforation cutter, cuts pre-perfed forms far more precisely. All of these features are so reliable that the DFX-8500 carries the Epson one-year limited on-site, one year carry-in warranty. Isn't that the kind of thoroughbred confidence you look for when you lay your money down on a printer? It's the fast-running workhorse for heavy-duty business printing.
