The FormsPro 4600 Dot Matrix Printer, with Standard Serial/Parallel Interfaces and the ImagerPlus Graphics Interface, can solve your toughest printing problems and automate most paper-handling functions. With the 4600 you will print with greater legibility and unsurpassed reliability.

The FormsPro 4600 printer features:

A draft speed up to 530 cps, which prints a typical 1,000-character document in less than five seconds.
Auto-switching power supply-which can work domestically and internationally.
FormsPro 4600 has single set of tractors
Superior legibility-even on 9-part forms. Auto-Gap feature adjusts the printhead according to form thickness.
Easy-load, tilt-up top to simplify loading, and straight-up paper path eliminates the problem of forms buckling and jamming.
A paper jam sensor to permit reliable, unattended operation.
Optical sensor prevents printhead from printing beyond the edges of the loaded form.

FormsPro 4600 printers have 30% higher impact force than other brands, making them the preferred choice for situations where thick forms (up to 9 part) and multi-part legibility are an issue. The increased readability helps to increase the accuracy and efficiency of your staff in accounting and operations.
