Installation

Before installation, a suitable site must be chosen. Suitable sites include offices, computer rooms, and most factory environments. The Printek FormsPro 4000se printers have been designed to be rugged, heavy-duty printers. As such, they will handle most harsh environments, but should not be placed in direct sunlight or in areas that will exceed the rated temperature, humidity, or power requirements. For details, refer to “SPECIFICATIONS” on 111.

Once a site has been selected, the printer should be placed on a Printek print stand. The Printek print stand is especially recommended for the FormsPro 4503se and is required to meet the low noise rating of the printer. Of course, another sturdy print stand or table with a slotted top for feeding paper into the bottom of printer may be used.

The print stand should be located in an area large enough to provide easy access to both the front of the printer and the rear for accessing printed output. Unpack the printer as described in the “FormsPro 4000se series Unpacking Instructions” and place the printer on the print stand.
