Re: Laser printing A/P checks -- MAPICS-L

Bryan,
    You are right,  you would be working with whatever is in the spool file
    regardless of what program created it.
You merge data from the spool file with the form.
It is done with the GUI and you are in complete control of the final printed
result.
We no longer buy any preprinted forms, plus we don't modify our print
programs
  plus you can even control the font, forms, logos and signatures virtually
on the fly.
