Thanks, Dan.
It's nice to know that we're not going crazy. I'll give those revised settings
a try, but I'm skeptical that it will work, since I've pretty much tried all
kinds of combinations of set-up, and the line-up wasn't pretty. If payers use
scanning equipment to read in the data from the form, and if the line-up is not
close, this could cause claim denials/rejections.

Gary: Your right...I had not entered info for the third value code
field. I had the same issue, last digit did not print.
We've been tweaking the setup and here's our new settings:
Electronic Forms Setup:
CPI - 10.12
Left Margin - 0.20
LPI - 5.98
Top Margin - 0.099
Printer Configuration:
X1 Shift -8
X2 Shift 0
Y Shift 0
These settings are as close as its going to be. However, for the amount
of paper claims we send out, this will work.
Also we are Magic 5.5 SR1.
Let me know how you make out with the above settings.
