How do I? and Field Help

On the Laser Documents - General Settings tab, select your receipt layout, check stock and source trays, check stub layout, and envelope options.

In the Receipts group box, select the receipt layout from the Layout dropdown list. The valid values are Narrow or Wide.

In the Checks group box, indicate the check stock information and the stub layout.

Column Heading Description
Check Type The type of check.
Original Tray The tray that houses the stock for original checks.
Copy Tray The tray that house the stock for check copies.
Copies The number of copies that should be printed.
Stock Type The type of check stock.

Select the stub layout from the Stub Layout dropdown list. The valid values are Narrow or Wide.

In the Laser Envelopes Option group box, if the selected printer has a separate envelope tray, the Envelope Tray field may need to indicate that specific tray number. If not, leave this field blank. Initially, select a standard #10 envelope from the Paper Size dropdown list. If the name and address do not print in an acceptable location on the envelope, adjust the Top Filler – Blank Lines field and/or Left Side Filler – Spaces field. The Top Filler – Blank Lines field defaults to 10 lines from the top of the envelope based on where the envelope margin is located. The Left Side Filler – Spaces field defaults to 90, which indicates the location from the left side of the envelope in which to begin printing. If the name and address is not positioned correctly, increase the number of spaces in the Left Side Filler – Spaces field. An increase of 30 (changing from 90 to 120) will move the name and address approximately 1 ¼ inches to the right.
