At 560 characters per second, EPSON's DFX-5000+ is undeniably fast and smart. It detects paper thickness of up to six part forms and adjusts the print head automatically to prevent paper jams. The DFX-5000+ stops itself in the unlikely event of a paper jam and knows better than to print off the sides of the paper.
