Understanding the Individual Field Adjustments
You can adjust a single box or field on an individual form up, down, left or right, without affecting any other boxes or fields. This includes the following forms:
1099 MISC (S045152)
1099 DIV (S045153)
1099 INT (S045154)
1099 NEC (S045156)
The Write Media program (P04515) creates output for preprinted 1099 laser forms. The Miscellaneous, Dividend, NEC, and Interest forms all print in the standard two-to-a-page format approved by the IRS.
To adjust the box or field on a selected form, you must update the source code to reposition the fields.
The system determines the location of each box on the form based on the horizontal and vertical position in the source code. The following graphic displays the source code layout for the MISC form. In the graphic, the value directly below the Lin column determines the line number; therefore, to move a line up or down, you adjust the line number. The value directly below the Pos column determines the starting position on that line; therefore, to move a value to the right or left, you adjust the position number. By changing these values, a box can be moved to the desired position without affecting any other boxes on the form. If you need to change multiple boxes, you can adjust the position and line of surrounding boxes accordingly.
After you complete the source code changes for the laser form, you must use the compile process to create a new object from the source code. Once you verify that the system created the object from your compile report, you must then compile the Write Media program (P04515) to incorporate the changes on the new laser form.
If you need to move the entire form left, right, up, or down on the paper, you use the processing options in the Laser Form Adjustment program (P045152) to move the form by the lines and spaces that you specify. See Adjusting the Print on the Formsfor more information.
