 Overview

If you print dot matrix forms that use custom paper sizes to network printers, you must set up the custom paper size on the print server. The following dot matrix forms use custom paper sizes: Accounts Receivable Remittance Advice statements and Accounts Payable checks. For more information, see Statement Printing and Check Printing and Electronic Payment.

The Accounts Receivable Remittance Advice dot matrix statement form template is 8.5 x 8.5 inches. The standard Accounts Payable dot matrix check template is 8.5 x 7 inches and is defined as a stub and check format.

Note This procedure applies only to Windows XP.

 Before You Begin

• Customize the dot matrix template to use the appropriate font. For more information, see Customize Dot Matrix Form Template.

• The Accounts Payable dot matrix check template is set to print sections b and c only; the remaining sections on the form are suppressed. To print additional sections, clear the Suppress check box for the sections in the SAP Crystal Reports Section Manager window.
