Notes

  • The Standard AP Check Formats collection include the following forms:

    • 03620L - Laser Check Form

    • 03620D - Continuous Check Form

    • 03620S - Multiple Stub Laser Check Form

    • 03620SR - Remittance Laser Check Form

    • 0362SP - Project Multiple Stub Check

  • There are several check printing options that can be set in the Solomon.ini file. Microsoft DynamicsSL will always check the Solomon.ini file on the workstation first and, if it does not locate the entries, it will check the Solomon.ini file where Microsoft DynamicsSL is installed second.

  • The stub lines on checks default to 12 lines for each stub.

  • The maximum number of lines for the Multiple Stub Laser Check form (03.620S) is set to 12 lines. The bottom stub is not changed if you change the Solomon.ini file.
