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.
