PRINT: When all information has been entered and all selections are made you may Print.
- Click PRINT to allow default to your default printer/use PRINT WITH SETUP to select the printer and options.
- Test print the first two vendors (enter control number in Starting/Ending control field) to plain paper (or on an extra form) hold it up to a form to see if it is aligned. If the form is not printing in the boxes properly, use the adjustments. Horizon recommends test printing the 1099 IRS Red Copy and other pre-printed forms not purchased from Horizon.
- Review your pages for any alignment problems. Increase or decrease the adjustment values until the printing aligns within the boxes.
- Once you are satisfied with the test print, print the information on the tax forms.

- Using Adjustments
- There are 2 sets of adjustments: Top form and Bottom form.
- If both forms need to move the same amount, then use the same amounts for both forms.
- Entering an amount in the Top form will not move the bottom form.
- Up/Down - If printing to low on page enter -25, if printing to high enter 25.
- Left/Right - If printing to far to the right enter -25, If to far to the left enter 25.
- Test print, increase or decrease the adjustment values until the printing aligns within the boxes.
- When plain paper copy looks to align, print once more on the IRS Red - Copy A.
- If not aligned, go back to adjustments.
- If aligned correctly print all: remove the Starting and Ending Control numbers then print.
- You may make Starting Control the third Vendor to start there.
