Heavy-duty, reliable printing
The 4247-Z03 is a professional industrial heavy-duty printer with metal covers and a workload
capacity of up to 64,000 pages per month. The 18-wire print head provides reliable printing on up
to 8-part carbonless forms in Data Processing (DP), Data Processing Text (DP Text), Near Letter
Quality (NLQ), and OCR print modes.
Flexible forms handling
The InfoPrint 4247 printer provides exceptional forms-handling flexibility. The base printer
includes one continuous-forms tractor path; a second continuous-forms front tractor paper path
is optional.
This dual front paper path capability can translate into a single printer performing work that
formerly required two or more printers. Users can load different forms into each tractor path and
then enable the path that corresponds to the desired print job.
Print quality comparison
Print modes include Fast Draft, Data Processing (DP), Data Processing Text (DP Text), Near
Letter Quality (NLQ), OCR-A, and OCR-B. Print qualities on the 4247-Z03 are equivalent
in character size, shape, and resolution to the print qualities available on the previous 4247
printers.
The following table summarizes the print quality for Fast Draft, DP, DP Text, and NLQ at 10
characters per inch.
