To print a test form

 

Tip:  Don't waste preprinted forms when you print test forms!

  1. Load the paper you intend to use to print your forms into your printer. If you're using a continuous-feed printer, be sure the paper is as straight as possible.


  2. Click the Print Alignment button. (This button will also display the type of form you're printing.)


  3. Depending on the type of computer you use and the settings you've established for your printer, the alignment form may begin to print immediately, or a print window may appear on your computer screen. If a print window appears, make your selections in the window, then click the button in the window that begins the printing process. (The button is usually labelled "OK" or "Print')


  4. After the form is finished printing, review it to see whether the sample text was printed in the proper locations on the paper. If the information isn't displayed the way you want, you may need to either change the position of the paper in your printer or customize the form layout so the information is printed where you want it on the paper. (Opening a form in the Customize window)


  5. You can print as many alignment forms as you want. If your first attempt at aligning the information on the page wasn't successful, make the necessary changes, then follow steps 1 through 4 until you're satisfied with the way the information will be printed.
