IBM System/34 - Alignment

Alignment

The expensive check forms must be perfectly aligned or all of the numbers won't fit in the little boxes. Therefore, an alignment can be performed using the PRINTER OCL statement:

// PRINTER NAME-PAYCHECK, FORMS-BUXX, DEVICE-P1,ALIGN-YES

The subconsole will now get this message when ready to print checks:

By replying this message AFTER aligning the forms, the operator could be sure that the check information didn't print until the forms were properly aligned.
