Description

Mnemonic: FMFDSC

This field is used to enter a brief description of the format you are setting up. For example, you could enter "LIP Check to Payee" or "LIP Check with Contractor." This information will appear in the Format field on the Loans > Check Printing > LIP Checks and/or Reserve Checks screen.

Width

Mnemonic: FMCWTH

The Width and Height fields are used to enter the size of the check paper you will be printing on, using decimals if necessary. For example, "8.5" for the width and "11" for the height.

Height

Mnemonic: FMCHGT

The Width and Height fields are used to enter the size of the check paper you will be printing on, using decimals if necessary. For example, "8.5" for the width and "11" for the height.

Image Path

Mnemonic: FMPATH

When you want to scan a check, logo, or signature and save it to a file, this field allows you to locate the scanned file and import it to the format. Click the browse button to the right to open the Open dialog to locate the file.

Scanning checks provides you with the ability to see an image of the actual check. Scanning logos and signatures allows you to have the items actually print on a check, which lets you use blank check paper.

The system can open the following file types: BMP, JPG, GIF, TIFF, and PNG.

	Note: For checks, this feature is helpful when you are determining where data should be placed on the format. The system does not print the scanned check; it just displays it on the grid so you can see where to place the data fields.

Format is Available to Office

Mnemonic: N/A

This field is used to control which offices can access specific formats. This helps to reduce the risk of employees accessing formats they shouldn't. This does not control the printing of checks; it only controls the setup of the format. Employee security controls who is able to print checks. See the Security topic on the Checks screen for more information.

This reads the office name, which is set up in the GOLD Services > Office Information screen.
