I have been working with ACOM's EZPrint for 1-1/2 yrs. It does not matter if you have modified the Mapics forms or not. The GUI portion of the software allows you to transfer an actual spool file from the AS/400 to your PC and use the designer tool to create your form overlay around the spool. We have used ACOM EZPrint to create our own forms overlays for invoices, acknowledgements, purchase orders, AR Statements and more. We are now printing most of our special forms documents on laser printers. You will love it. P.S. We do not use EZPrint for A/P or Payroll checks. Marsha S.

We have heavily modified some MAPICS forms (e.g. the fields on PO's have been moved around quite a bit to make thinks fit). Our director thinks this may problematic. After reading about the packages, however, I am led to believe that the strengths of the packages is that making forms changes is easy using a PC GUI tool. Nobody asked to laser print forms and I am trying to sell it to management. If it is going to problematic to go from our modified MAPICS forms to laser printing, I don't think my boss wants something like this on his plate right now. Thanks in advance for any input. -----Original Message----- From: Michael.Huber@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:Michael.Huber@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, September 16, 2003 3:36 PM To: MAPICS ERP System Discussion Subject: Re: Laser printing A/P checks We currently use the Acom Ezprint/400 for all forms and checks. It cost roughly $10k, depending on the modules you wish to use. One neat thing I found, is that you can change the form depending on content of the spool file. An example is when a duplicate invoice is printed, a "duplicate" blurb is print on the invoice. We determined that we would save about $9k in a year just in paper, this don't include the additional time of bursting and collating the form. Good luck in your search. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------- Michael K.

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?
