PRINTEK

Printek FormsPro 4503se Tri-Trak Forms Printing System
Is a Multi-track Printer Right for Your Printing Needs?
Printek's Tri-Trak feature is unique in its ability to feed up to three continuous forms in a straight through paper path. Tens of thousands of users enjoy the convenience and increased productivity that Tri-Trak brings to their printing operations. Perhaps you, too, could benefit from Tri-Trak.
If you answer yes to any of these questions, a multiple-track printer will likely save you time and money.

Do you change forms at least three times a day?
The time spent loading forms, resetting printers and performing test prints can be virtually eliminated with Printek's Tri-Trak feature. All printhead and forms alignment adjustments are performed automatically regardless of the length and thickness of the forms.

Do you dedicate one printer to each form because of the hassles of loading forms?
With the Printek Tri-Trak feature you can change forms with the push of a button or software command. When you do need to load new forms, Printek printers open to give you quick and easy access to the tractors.

Does downtime for changing forms ever cause bottlenecks or errors printing?
With Printek Tri-Trak there is virtually no downtime to change forms. Forms can be switched automatically in five seconds.

Do your printers take up too much room... or too many computer ports?
Printek's Tri-Trak feature allows consolidation of multiple forms into one printing unit, saving users valuable space and computer ports.

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 form 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.
