My suggestion is to select “E” print selected bills, print one block and lot on plain paper and check the alignment. You can move the printing on the bill up or down as needed by selecting “A”.




Change the printing alignment and retest a bill on plain paper. If you aligment is good then select “C” print bills for homeowners, then “B” print bills for banks, and last “D” advice copies for home owners. Do not print for Wellsfargo, CoreLogic, Bank of America, Lereta corp, or LSI. (Exclude).
