Changing Forms/Tractor Paths
As mentioned above, the FormsPro 4000 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 4503, 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 "Setup: FORMS" menu using Setup

If you are using an emulation other than Epson or Printek, you may temporarily
change emulations as described above, 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.
