3 parts fit into 7"? The advices must be small...

Adagio can print to dot matrix printers and 7" forms, but we don't guarantee that it will work and we don't guarantee that it will be easy to set up. This is because the process relies on what the printer can do. And we can't recommend a different dot matrix printer if theirs doesn't work.

In short form, you have to:
- Edit the check spec and set the page size to Custom and the page height to 7", from the File / Specifications menu.
- Change all field fonts to Courier or something not True Type or proportional.
- Print preview within the designer to see that the layout appears to be 8.5 x 7". This determines that the printer driver can deal with the custom page size.

- You may need to set up a generic / text printer driver rather than the factory printer driver, and define this as the 'Specific check printer' in Adagio Payables within the File / Options screen.

- **Ensure that the dot matrix printer supports a 7" form size. If you cannot click the form feed on the printer to eject 7" worth of paper, it is a deal breaker and not worth moving forward on this. This is because dot matrix printers deal with page breaks differently that the Windows / Laser printer world.

Tech Support is used to hearing of consultants spending hours of their time in trying to tweak the spec and/or printer to get the forms to print on a dot matrix, sometimes without success. Just so you are aware of what you may be getting into in order for the client to save a little bit on pre-printed dot matrix forms - they may potentially spend even more on the spec then what they are saving in the forms. That's why Andrew asked for the size of the stack - how much $$ are they trying to save there and can that be justified in the consulting cost?
