Check Print Control F/M (APF975)

Voucher controls  Check controls  Back to top

Use the Check Print Control F/M program to create and maintain print parameters for AP checks. These parameters determine the print positions for information that appears on AP checks. The Check Print program refers to these settings; so make sure you set up at least one record in this program before you print checks.

The check parameter records enable you to control the print positions of AP check information without requiring modifications (talk to your Affiliate about preprinted FACTS forms). Create one record for each bank to allow different checks for each bank. If you want to use the standard AP check, use the defaults for each entry. This produces a check that matches the standard FACTS check.

Access this program by choosing Accounts Payable-->Infrequent File Maintenances-->Check Print Control F/M.

Laser Check Driver Print Parameters

The laser driver, HPCHECK, prints to laser printers in 12 pitch. Using the correct settings in FACTS and the correct forms, this driver accommodates printing laser checks in FACTS. Contact TransForm Technologies directly to order checks or to request samples at (800) 226-2564 or email Chris Bilello at chris.bilello@thetransformgroup.com or Dottie Ward at dottie.ward@thetransformgroup.com.

To use the HPCHECK laser driver, associate a link file for the laser printer with the HPCHECK printer. You can set it up as an additional printer in FACTS if other users make use of the laser printer for normal printing tasks. Use the settings below in Check Print Control F/M for Accounts Payable and Payroll laser check forms.

Note that these settings are only for the laser check forms (Accounts Payable and Payroll) provided by Transform Technologies. Laser check forms provided by any other forms vendor may not comply with the set up parameters given below.
