Check Print Control F/M (PRF958)

This program allows the user of the FACTS system to create and maintain check parameters that determine the print positions of information on payroll checks.

The check parameter file enables the user to control, within broad limitations, the print positions of payroll check information without requiring program changes. One record is stored for each bank, which allows different checks for each bank. If the standard payroll check is to be used, the user should allow each field to default to its preset value. This produces a check print that matches the standard Aperum™ check.

The check print program verifies that check print controls are on file for the chosen bank. Therefore, this record must be set up prior to printing checks.

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 cbilello@transformtech.net or Dottie Ward at dward@transformtech.net.

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.
