The FormsPro 4000 Series printers can solve your toughest printing problems
and automate most paper handling functions. With the FormsPro 4300, 4500, and 4503, you'll print with greater legibility and unsurpassed reliability.
- Tractor System. The FormsPro 4300 and 4500 have a single set of straight-up tractors. The FormsPro 4503 has the Tri-Trak System with
three sets of straight-through tractors.
- High-Speed for High-Volume Printing. With a draft speed up to 530 cps, FormsPro printers can print a typical 1,000 character document in less than five seconds.
That's over 700 documents per hour!
- Waste-Free Forms Tear-Off. After you tear off a form, the next is automatically positioned for printing.
- Superior Legibility-Even on 9-Part Forms. Auto-Gap feature adjusts the printhead according to form thickness.
- Trouble-Free Forms Handling. Easy-Load tilt-up top simplifies loading, and straight-up paper path eliminates the problem of forms buckling and jamming. Paper jam sensor permits
reliable, unattended operation.
- Automatic Page Edge Sensor. Optical sensor prevents printhead from printing beyond the edges of the loaded form.
- Stores Parameters for Up to 10 Forms. Spacing, margins, font and 11 other parameters are
set using four front panel buttons. Options are displayed on a 16-character LCD. Once you've set the parameters for a form, they can be stored and recalled at any time.
- Ruggedly Built for Reliable Operation.FormsPro printers are designed to withstand 100% duty cycles. The printhead carries a two-year limited warranty when used in combination with a
Printek brand ribbon - longer than any printhead in the industry. A one-year warranty is offered if a non-Printek brand ribbon is used
