FormsPro 4300 & 4500

Printers for demanding applications

The FormsPro 4300 and 4500 can solve your toughest printing problems. With the FormsPro 4300 or 4500, you’ll print with greater legibility and unsurpassed reliability.
Here’s how:

Fast printing speed. With a speed up to 530 cps for the FormsPro 4500 and 300 cps for the 4300, you won’t have to wait long for your printed forms.

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

Superior legibility - even on nine-part forms. The FormsPro 4300 and 4500 provide 30% more striking force than conventional printers.

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.

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

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

Stores parameters of up to 10 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 4503, or another 4300 or 4500)
