Page 83: Form Construction
FORM CONSTRUCTION Form Construction Although the FormsPro 4000se series printers have been designed to handle difficult forms, y ou may come across a form that does not feed reliably or provide adequate print quality on all copies. One of the main causes of paper misfeeds is a form that is “tented”. Tenting is a tent-like bulge at the perforation when forms are unfolded from the box. -

Page 91: Using Remote Setup
Remote Setup via Windows Application Printek provides a remote setup program for Windows 95, 98, 2000 and NT users. This provides a convenient method for graphically configuring the printer. Visit www.printek.com... - Page 92 The I/O interface to be used for remote setup must be configured appropriately to communicate with the host system, and printer must be placed in remote setup mode. This is done by sending a 3- byte escape sequence to the printer. This sequence is ESC; or hexadecimal 1B 1B 3B.
- Page 93 U S I N G R E M O T E S E T U P *Note that the 3-byte escape sequence can be included as the first 3 bytes in the remote setup file.

Introduction The optional Setup Module is a small cartridge that plugs directly into the RS-232 Serial connector on the rear of any FormsPro 4000se series printer. This module is used to store a second copy of the current Setup configuration of the printer. This may then be used to restore settings after a printer is serviced or to copy the same configuration settings to another printer. - Page 100 Setup Module. If the data is not an exact match, proceed with step 8. If the data in the printer and the data in the module are an exact match, installation is complete and the printer will complete its power up procedure.
