HI Steve,
My printer is one of those that the left guide slides in without moving the
other one.
It does pick up the paper, but then I get an error saying that the paper
size is mismatched.
I'll try to see what else I can adjust and any other suggestions would be
very appreciated.
Thanks again.
Kerry

Gary,
Are your slips of paper emulating personal checks or the larger checks. If
you are cutting slips to be the size of personal checks, you may need to
verify that your printer can handle paper that small. If the sides on your
paper try move in far enough to hold the check firmly, there is a pretty
good chance that you are all right there.
Not all printers will print to the very edge of the paper size that is
specified. This is particularly true of top margins. If you are printing
checks using the regular paper size, it is possible that Money Talks is
trying to print in areas that your printer driver thinks can't be used and
generating an error message. Usuallywhen you move in the guides on the
paper tray to use smaller paper, the guides tend to center the paper. In
some cases, though, there is only one guide that moves. How does yours
work? If your printer has a paper tray and moving the left guide moves a
right guide in as well, centering the smaller piece of paper, you will have
to adjust the check template. If the check is being fed with the right end
first, you will have to make certain that your printer prints in "landscape"
mode. That makes the left guide equivelent to a top margin so you will have
to adjust the parameters on the check template to take that into account.
When you print envelopes in Word, microsoft Word takes care of changing your
printer's settings, but that won't happen in this case.
Finally, although I have not seen this, it is conceivable that if your
printer doesn't support printing on something as small as a check that it
may detect that there is paper there but that it is too small. In some
printers, the feed rollers are too far apart to correctly feed personal
checks. In such a case, buying a pack of larger checks to use with your
printer while still keeping the smaller checks in your checkbook is usually
possible unless your bank is a pain about such things.
In particular, making changes to the check template to be sure that all
printing occurs on the check may eliminate the "mismatched paper" message if
your printer supports printing on checks. Knowing more about how your
printer handles paper might help us know what else to suggest.
Best regards,
Steve Jacobson
