Metal vs. Plastic
One touch will tell you that this is not a plastic-component printer. We understand the environments and workload these printers endure, which is why we use solid metal framing, print mechanisms, and components to give this printer rugged and industrial strength to stand up to some of the most challenging environments. See why they call it the "printer you can stand on."

The DLXi offers the most communication interfaces offered on a desktop printer
(Serial, Parallel, Ethernet, USB-B and USB-A). The USB-A Port allows it to host a wide variety of devices as well as offering easy to use updates and stored formats.
