Features

Thank you for purchasing this SEIKO Precision FB-390 printer.

Combing high speed, high quality output with advanced paper handing capabilities, this versatile, 24-pin, flatbed printer is ideal for a wide range of multi-part and cut-sheet printing requirements. Reliability, flexibility and ease-of-use are key features, making the FB-390 the perfect choice for performing demanding applications in a variety of environments.

Versatile, Reliable, Straight Paper Path

The straight paper path enables paper to feed through the printer without bending, thus reducing the risk of paper jamming. The versatile FB-390 prints on a wide variety of paper types from 7-part forms to labels, envelopes and reports, as well as media up to 0.45mm thick.

Easy Paper Handing

The printer has several other useful features, which help eliminate paper handing problems and ensure quick, accurate results.

Automatic paper loading/ejection with automatic skew detection

The automatic paper load function ensures cut sheet paper fed into the printer is correctly positioned. The FB-390 also has an automatic skew detection function, which ejects forms which are not fed in straight.

At the touch of a button, tractor paper loaded onto the tractor is automatically set to the printing position. When printing is completed, the paper feeds out to the front table for easy tear-off.

Zero tear-off function

This causes tractor paper to be automatically fed to the tear-off position at the edge of the window cover, for easy tear-off at the perforations after printing. This zero tear-off capability helps eliminate paper wastage.

Paper park function

A simple command on the control panel enables the tractor paper to be retracted (parked) outside of the print mechanism so that after switching the paper path select lever, cut sheet paper can be fed into the printer from the front.

After the cut sheet paper has been printed, reverse the paper path lever so that the fanfold stationery can be advanced back into the print mechanism for the next print job.
