Using the Evergreen Check Laser Format

Payables provides the Evergreen Check Laser Format program and corresponding Evergreen Long (Laser) Format to support your check laser printing needs. This format supports the following features:

Before you use the Evergreen Long (Laser) payment format, you need to customize the automatic payment program used by the Evergreen Long (Laser) payment format. By customizing the program, you can enable MICR encoding, enforce signature controls that you define, and have full control over what Payables prints on the check. After you customize the program, associate the payment format with a payment document for a bank account and you're ready to laser print your checks.

If you want to enable the MICR line, verify that you have correctly entered the bank routing number and bank account number for your disbursement bank account in the Banks window. The bank routing number is stored in the Branch Number field. See also: Payment Formats, and Defining Banks.

   To customize the Automatic Payment Program

p_printer_code_ mask Controls which objects associated with these printer codes are enabled. Payables defaults 101 and 102 to activate printing of the check number on the remittance and check, 111 to activate the MICR line, 121 and 122 to activate the first and second signatures and 141 to activate a special font for the address portion of the check. You can add additional printer codes you require or remove printer codes you don't need by editing this option.
Suggestion: The escape sequences corresponding to these printer codes are defined in the printer driver file located in $FND_TOP/$APPLREP/APLASP.prt. The printer driver definition that Payables provides works with Evergreen's HP LaserJet 4 printer cartridge. If you want to use a different printer cartridge, you simply modify the escape sequences contained in the printer driver file. If you want to define a new printer driver file for use with a different printer, see: Setting Up Additional Printer Driver Files.

p_sig2_amount Check amount threshold to get 2nd signature
p_sig3_amount Check amount threshold to get 3rd signature
p_sig1_vendnum The supplier number associated with the supplier record for the person with signature #1. This feature prevents the check signer from signing their own check.
p_sig2_vendnum The supplier number associated with the supplier record for the person with signature #2. This feature prevents the check signer from signing their own check.
p_sig3_vendnum The supplier number associated with the supplier record for the person with signature #3. This feature prevents the check signer from signing their own check.
p_continuous_ stationery = "N" Do not change this option: it imbeds a new page escape sequence after each check which is necessary for laser printing to function properly.

Setting Up Additional Printer Driver Files

If you have multiple bank accounts, you may need to define additional printer driver files to support different check images. Linking a new printer driver file to the Evergreen Format (Laser) check formatting program requires you to perform the following steps.
