* DFX-9000, LQ-680 Pro and DLQ-3500 have automatic platen gap adjustment to ensure optimum settings when changing between different media types with the minimum of user intervention.
Automatic platen gap adjustment also allows printing on forms with varying thickness, such as multipart courier forms that also include a label.
