Multi-Part Form Printing in Sage 100
Description
Cause

Use multi-part form printing to print documents to multiple locations. For example, with multi-part printing enabled, you can print the following copies of a purchase order: a file copy to your draft printer, a warehouse copy to the printer located in your warehouse, and the original copy to a high quality laser printer. This functionality takes the place of pre-printed multiple-part carbon/carbonless forms.

Resolution
Note: Some printers and drivers aren’t compatible with Sage 100 printing commands. Compatibility issues can affect copy counts, collation, paper trays, or manual feed settings.
Note: Sage 100 Customer Support doesn’t troubleshoot printer compatibility issues. Contact a qualified printer technician if needed.
Note: These steps use Payroll graphical check forms as an example. Use the same process for Accounts Payable check printing.
