FormsPro 4500
The FormsPro 4500 can solve your toughest printing problems. With the FormsPro 4500, you'll print with greater legibility and unsurpassed reliability. Here's how.
- Fast printing speed. With speed up to 530 cps for the FormsPro 4500, you won't have to wait long for your
printed forms.
- Wastefree forms tear-off. After you tear off a form, the next is
automatically positioned for printing. No need to choose between
repositioning forms after each tear-off or wastLng every other
form so you save time, money and material.
- Superior legibility -- even on nine-part forms. The
FormsPro 4500 provide 30% more striking force
than conventional printers. They can print up to vAne-part
forms that are legible to the last sheet, reducing the chance of
costly errors due to unreadable copies.
- Trouble-free forms handling. Easy-LoadTM flit-up top
simplifies loading, and straight-up paper path eliminates the
problem of forms buckling and jamming. Paper jam sensor
pen~ts reliable, unattended operation.
- Automatic page edge sensor. Optical sensor keeps printhead from
printing beyond the edges of the loaded form.
- Ribbon-wear indicator. When Printek brand ribbon is used, the
printer automatically tracks ribbon wear and displays message to
user when to change ribbon.
- Stores parameters for up to 10 forms. Spacing, margins, font and 11
other parameters are set using four
from panel buttons. Options are
displayed on a 16-character LCD. Once you've set the parameters
for a form, they can be stored and redled at any time. For your
convenience, the form setups can be transferred automatically to
another FormsPro printer (i.e., the 4503, or another 4500).
- Ruggedly built for reliable operation- The FormsPro 4500
are designed to withstand 100% duty cycles. They carry a two-year
limited printhead warranty when Printek brand ribbons are used --
longer than any prknthead in the industry. When non-Printek brand
ribbons are used, the printhead warranty is one year.
Other features like bar code capabilities, IBM Coax and Twinax interfaces,
and an optional Forms Cutter are even more reasons why the FormsPro
4500 is the best choice for your forms printing needs.
