High-speed demand document printer
with Tri-Trak paper handling system

The FormsPro 4503 is a high-volume printer that automates most paper handling functions. It may even take the place of two or more printers.
Here’s how:

img0004.bmp (82398 bytes) Holds up to three forms. With its patented Tri-Trackä paper handling system, the FormsPro 4503 can keep up to three different-sized forms loaded at all times. Switching forms is accomplished with the push of a button or a computer command.

High-speed for high-volume printing. With draft speed up to 530 cps, the FormsPro 4503 can print a typical 1,000 character document in less that five seconds. That’s over 700 documents per hour!

Waste-free forms tear-off. After you tear off a form, the next form is automatically positioned for printing. No need to reposition forms or waste every other form. Save time and materials.

Superior legibility. The Auto-Gapä feature automatically adjusts the printhead according to form thickness.

Four built-in bar codes. Code 39, 2 of 5, Interleaved 2 of 5, OCR-A and OCR-B fonts are built-in and ready to go in the FormsPro Series printers. Additional codes and fonts are available with the Imager and ImagerPlus options.

Automatic page sensor. Optical sensor keeps printhead from printing beyond the edges of the loaded form.

Trouble free forms handling. Paper jam sensor permits reliable, unattended operation. All three forms flow straight through the printer, to prevent jamming.

Store parameters for up to ten forms. Spacing, margins, font and eleven other parameters can be stored and recalled at any time. For your convenience, the form setups can be transferred automatically to another FormsPro printer (i.e., the 4300, 4500 or another 4503).

Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price:

FormsPro 4503 $3,395.00
