How do I convert a diskette file to PC disk? |
|
|
|
Simply take menu option 5 to build a PC diskette file or E-file. Run option 6 to transfer the file to your PC. This step requires the installation of the PC components that were included on your
installation media. It was designed to function with, and requires the installation of Client Access on the PC running this step. If you have Client Access installed on your PC, yet are running a different form of
emulation, this option may not function properly. We have also included a Client Access transfer request with our PC Components. This file is named IRSTAX.TTO and is located in the MM1099 directory on your PC. If you
experience difficulties in running this menu option, you may use open the `transfer request' file and manually run the transfer from within Client Access.

After importing, if you discover errors in the field positions that you input to the import program generator, you may wish to reset the file using menu option #11, recreate the import program, and run the
import again.

The amount codes that are chosen in the payer entry are the amounts that are displayed for entry, and are printed on the forms. If you have amounts that are not printing, check the amount codes for that
payer (menu option #1).

Can I print on laser forms? |
|
|
|
We have added an option to print on preprinted laser tax forms and on blank perforated tax forms. Our tests were performed using HP and NEC laser printers connected with Client Access and TCP/IP.
To print 1099 forms on blank perforated tax forms, you must have a printer configured to print overlays. There are two ways to configure a printer
to print overlays. You must either have an IPDS printer configured as AFP "YES" or a PCL-compatible laser printer configured for Host Printer Transform (HPT). Just check the device description and, if need be,
change the TRANSFORM parameter to *YES. you should also make sure you have the latest PTFs installed on your system, especially any AFP-related PTFs. Due to the numerous connectivity options, we
suggest that you test your laser printer prior to making your decision to use this option. |
