The Start Check Print Confirmation Screen window stores these PDF Print Settings by operator name so the next time that operator prints the job the same alignment applies.

In Open Client there is always a PDF SETTINGS button to maintain statement and check print settings.
 In the Windows Client the MARGINS button is changed to a PDF SETTINGS button when the printer destination is PDF or Email as PDF.

The settings window manages the following values for check and statement printing to PDF:

•Top Margin:
 This is the distance from the top of the page to the first line of text, where a page is 792 units high.

•Left Margin:
 This is the distance from the left side of the page to the first character of text, where a page is 612 units wide.

•Line spacing:
 This is the spacing between the bottom of each line of text.
 This value can be adjusted to correct the check alignment. Most checks/printers align at 12.72 or if the remittance sections is printing too low try 12.5

•Normal font size:
 This is the default font size and should be smaller than the line spacing.

•Statement font size:
 This is the font size used for statement details, which is smaller than normal but not condensed.

•Condensed Print Scaling:
 The font height is not changed.
 Condensed font is printed with the same height as the "normal" font, but compressed width-wise for readability.

•Expanded print size:
 This is the size of expanded print which is used in document headers if not using forms.

To restore the default values displayed in the image above, click on the DEFAULTS button.
