RE: Laser printing A/P checks

Bryan,

May I suggest JacanaForms.  It is a full featured forms package that can
easily handle your check printing - including MICR, along with your other
multi-part forms.  Multiple copies can be printed, with Accounting Copy or
other text or differences to identify the copy.  Each part can be sent to a
different printer and/or emailed or sent to a fax application.  All
inclusive package including Mapics form templates with special pricing
through Sept 30th.

We utilize an NT server to offload the forms processing from the AS/400 and
enable us to work in a graphical environment where the graphical nature of
the forms is fully supported.  We do not utilize IPDS, AFP, overlays or
other AS/400 constructs.  You design the form on a Windows PC and it merges
the AS/400 spool file data and prints to standard Laser printers.  Does not
require dedicated servers or printers.

Please contact me off list if you would like more information or a demo.

Subject: Laser printing A/P checks


Looking to replace a Decision Data 6550 line printer with a laser printer
for printing A/P checks.  Laser printing was my suggestion and Accounting is
open to the idea but would like some costs. Presently print about 200
two-part AP checks a week on preprinted forms.   

Do we have to buy a forms package to accomplish this?  We presently hand
stamp the checks. What would be the ballpark price for a bare bones forms
package?

On the other hand, we also line print about 200 two-part invoices a day,
three-part BOL's on preprinted forms, and PO's on preprinted cut sheets for
a laser printer, so perhaps we should buy a package to do it all.

Any recommendations?
