CHAPTER 1 - INTRODUCTION

This manual describes the software interfaces supported by your FormsPro 4000

series printer. It is written for a programmer who will be developing software for the

printer, and contains information not normally needed by a printer operator/user.

Basic information on printer operation (setting the printer up, loading paper, replacing

ribbons, etc.) can be found in the "Operator's Manual" that accompanied your printer.

How to Use This Manual

Below is a brief description of the information contained in this manual.

Chapter 1 Introduction

Describes the contents of this manual. Also provides you with an introduction to the

capabilities and operation of the FormsPro 4300. FormsPro 4500, and FormsPro 4503

printers.

Chapters 2 through 7 Emulations

Describe the software interface when using ANSI X3.64, Epson FX, IBM Proprinter,

DEC LA120, Simple TTY, or Printek emulation mode.

Each of these chapters is designed as a stand-alone chapter, capable of providing all

the information necessary to write software for a particular emulation. You may want

to read the chapter for the emulation(s) you are using, and skip the others.

Chapter 8 Hex Dump Mode

Describes the output of hex dump mode, and how it may be used to debug software

problems.

Appendices

Following the above chapters are appendices containing ASCII character tables and

font samples, additional control panel features, how to use the basic bar coding

support, printer specifications, and detailed interface specifications for the optional

interfaces.

Glossary

For your convenience a glossary of printer related terms may be found in the rear of

the manual.

Printer Model Descriptions and Key Features

The Printek FormsPro 4000 Series Printers are high speed, heavy duty serial dot

matrix printers designed especially for printing upon hard to print forms which are

often not printed adequately by other printers. Of course, the FormsPro 4000 series

printers will also print on lighter forms.

All printers provide straight paper paths for jam free paper motion and a zero waste

tear bar for demand document applications.

The operator may permanently record up to ten complete sets of form parameters

which may be later selected either at the printer's control panel or from the host

computer. The FormsPro 4503 provides three sets of tractors, any of which can be

included in the form parameters for a particular form. This allows the printer to

automatically unload one form and load another when selected, without requiring the

operator to touch the paper.

The printers come equipped with an industry standard parallel interface and an RS-

232C serial interface. The printers may optionally be ordered with an RS-422 serial

interface, or a coaxial/twinaxial interface which emulates an IBM 3287 printer or an

IBM 4214, 5225, or 5256 printer.

Other options include a 32K buffer which increases the standard 4K character input

buffer to 28K characters, and internal bar code support which also includes the

optional OCR-A and OCR-B fonts.

A specially designed print stand which holds multiple paper supplies is also available.
