Assigning Forms to Printer Trays

Use the Forms Loaded program to view, change, and select which forms to load in the printers accessible to a terminal. Select these forms so that system documents print on the printer where the required form is loaded.

When you log on, the system displays the printer location assigned to your terminal and selects the printer in that location to which the PLAIN form is assigned as your default printer. If a slave printer is assigned to the terminal, the system displays the word SLAVE. To print a special form that is not loaded on the default printer, either change your default printer to one that has the special form loaded, or assign the special form to a tray in your default printer.

Before you assign forms to a printer's trays, be sure you have assigned them as loadable forms for that printer.

To assign forms to printer trays:

From the System > Printers menu, select Forms Loaded to display the Forms Loaded screen.

The screen displays the following information:

Field	Description
Printer	Printers defined for the printer location assigned to your terminal.
Tray	Tray number or paper path of the printer.
Form Loaded	Form loaded in each printer tray. The field for each tray is blank until you assign a form. Note: This is the only field on the screen that you can edit.
Printer type	Make and model of the printer.

In the Form Loaded column, place the cursor next to the tray for which to change or assign forms.
Press F10 to select from a list of forms that have been defined as loadable to the system.

If a type of form is assigned as a loadable form for more than one printer in the same printer location, the system prompts you to choose a printer.

Repeat as necessary and press Esc when you are finished.

Note: When you plan to use special forms, such as checks, preprinted invoices, or statements, assign the forms to the intended tray before putting the forms in the printer. This prevents another print job from printing on the special form. When you have finished with a special print job, remove the special forms before assigning a new form to the tray.
