    This manual provides information on how to install and operate your FormsPro 4000 series printer. Below is a brief description of the information that is presented in each section. For your convenience, a glossary of printer related terms is included at the back of this manual.

  • Page 6: Printer Model Descriptions And Key Features

    The Printek FormsPro 4000 series printers are heavy duty serial dot matrix printers. The FormsPro 4300 is a medium speed printer and the FormsPro 4500 and FormsPro 4503 are high-speed printers. They have been specifically designed for printing on hard to print forms which are often not printed adequately by other printers.

  • Page 7: Chapter 2 - Installation And Quick Setup

    SELECTING AN APPROPRIATE INSTALLATION LOCATION The FormsPro 4000 series printers are designed to be installed on a Printek print stand, or on an open-top print stand that allows paper to be fed through the paper supply slot on the bottom of the printer. Since the printer also draws air through this slot for cooling, make sure that no part of the print stand obstructs this slot.
