Introduction
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. Of course, the FormsPro 4000 series
printers will also print on lighter forms.
All models provide straight paper paths for jam-free paper motion and a zero waste tear bar
for demand document applications.
You can permanently record up to ten complete sets of form parameters, which may then be
selected either at the printer's control panel or from the host computer. The FormsPro 4503
provides three sets of tractors, any of which may be selected in the form parameters for a
particular form. This allows the printer to automatically unload one form and load another
when it is selected either via the front panel buttons or a software command from the host
computer. When loading forms, the printer will automatically adjust the print head position
to match the thickness of the newly loaded form.
The printers come equipped with basic bar code capability, an industry standard parallel
interface and an RS-232C serial interface.
You can also order the printers with an optional RS-422 serial interface, or a
coaxial/twinaxial interface which emulates an IBM 3287 or 3262 printer, or an IBM 4214,
5225, or 5256 printer.
Other options include a 32K buffer, which increases the standard 4K character input buffer to
28K characters, the Imager and ImagerPlus bar code capabilities, and the FormsCutter which
may be used to cut each form as it is printed or to separate reports.
A specially designed print stand, which holds multiple paper supplies, is also available.
