Automatically Print Check Stub Overflow Information To a Different Paper Source

This isn't hard to do, but you're going to need both Formtastic Fusion5 for forms as well as Formtastic Checks. Here are the basic steps:

1. Start by creating your MICR check as usual using the Formtastic Checks.

2. Using Formtastic Fusion5, create a FORM that looks identical to the stub from your check.

3. Once you have completed your form definition link it to your check spool file and map the data from the stub portion only.

4. Now go back to Formtastic Checks. When you merge your newly created check, you will notice a function key labeled "F14=Check Overflow". Press this function key to display the Check Overflow Definition screen. (see screenshot below)

5. Fill in the information that defines an overflow condition. Also enter your new FORM name and source drawer where the 8 ½ x 11 paper resides. Press "Enter". (see screenshot below)

That's it. The check and form definitions will be merged with the spool file and print out from their appropriate source drawers automatically every time without wasting any valuable blank check stock.

Let me know of you have any more questions about this procedure. Just email me at pservices@quadrantsoftware.com.
