Introduction

Changing Forms/Tractor Paths

As mentioned above, Printek FormsPro 4000se, FormsMaster 8000se and PrintMaster 850 series printers have ten complete sets of forms parameters. These different parameters, or forms, may be selected either from the front panel or with escape sequences. In the FormsPro 4503se and FormsMaster 8003se series printers, selecting a different form may also select a different tractor path. The tractor path is one of the parameters which may be set for each of the ten forms in the forms menu using Setup as described in the FormsPro 4000se or FormsMaster 8000se Series Operator's Manual.

Escape sequences for loading forms are only available in the Epson and Printek emulations. In either chapter refer to the “Load Form” escape sequence in the “Forms and Tractors” section.

If you are using an emulation other than Epson or Printek, you may temporarily change emulations, load the new form, and then return to the previous emulation. An example of this may be found in the “Emulations” section at the end of each of the emulation chapters.
