Re: A/P check printing w/ MAPICS XA5

Standard MAPICS offers a few form choices for various forms, but the choices
are very limited.  When we migrated to XA, we purchases a forms printing
program called Optio Document Server.  This product will allow you to
manipulate spool files and combine them with an overlay and produce a
finished product.  We have converted all of our printing to laser and saved
significant money on pre-printed forms.  We currently print checks on
pre-numbered stock, but the program has the ability to print the MICR on a
blank stock.


I hate to sound like a salesman for these third-party vendors, but sometimes
the best solution lies outside of MAPICS.
