Troubleshooting Printer Adjustments

Home tab> Print >Printer Adjustment

Printing problems can be frustrating.  Every printer has different issues.  The following trouble shooting tips try to address the common printing issues, why they happen and what can be done to fix them.  

Try 11pt or 10pt Courier New Font.  If the data is close but still on the lines in some places, you can try a smaller font. 

If Box 33a and 33b numbers are printing on the line, confirm you are using 'Normal Spacing' for the 'Bottom Margin Setting.'  Both 'Tight Spacing' and 'Smaller Font' will force the numbers to move up and print on or above the line.  Vertical Adjustment may be used as well (see below).


The date is printing on the hash marks.  This is normal if using a 4-digit year in the format MMDDYYYY.  Most insurance companies require a 4-digit year and if so, it must be in the MMDDYYYY format.

Data prints ok on the top of the form but is too low or high on the bottom of the form.  Check the Vertical Adjustment.  Most users can have a setting of 0 in this field.  If a value is required, it is usually between -25 and 25.
