Unconventional Disclosure

Question

    Is there an option available to create an unconventional disclosure?

Answer

    Laser Forms - To create a form, go to DISPLAY FORMS (01.15.14.20.01). Choose an LX number from 1 to 200 that is not currently being used and write it down. Press <ESC> and go to ADD FORM (01.15.14.20.02). Enter the number previously chosen to create this document. Enter a description of the form and enter the size of the form. The number 2 is for letter size and 3 is for legal. Enter the number of copies to default each time the document is printed. The duplex option is not available at this time. PCL Filename is the name of the background to be added to the form if available. Press <ENTER> and the cursor will move down to SELECTION. Press <F1> twice to return to the Maintenance menu and go to FORMS CONSTANT FIELDS (01.15.14.26). Enter 201 and press <ENTER> to search for available fields from 201 to 899. If no fields are available, enter 1000 to search for available fields from 1000 to 9499. All others are reserved for use by MC.

    The term forms constant simply means data that is used constantly on forms. Each sentence must be entered into a field, which will be pulled into the LX form in the downs and overs.

    For example, if the form being created begins in Field F0201, the first down and over would call in Field F0201. Any fields being pulled from Forms Constants must begin with an F, to distinguish between the Master Record fields and the Forms Constant fields.

    Once all the data has been entered in the Forms Constant fields, press <F1> to exit to the Maintenance menu. Go to MODIFY FORM (01.15.14.20.03) and enter the LX form number that was previously set up. For example, you would enter LX100.01 to begin entering the information into page 1. At SELECTION, press <F8>INPUT-MODIFY to begin entering data into the downs and overs. The page begins with 8 down and 1 over and ends at 544 down and 85 over if using a standard pitch of 10.

    For example, if you wanted to enter the page number at the very bottom of the page and all the way over to the right, the page number would be entered into 544 down and 85 over. However, the higher the pitch, the more characters per inch. The downs are counted in 8's and whenever you begin a new line, 8 must be added to the down. For example, if 8 was the first down, 16 would be the next down and so on. The overs are counted individually.

    Calculations can be found at (01.15.14.27.3). Press <ENTER> to display all products created. The Master Record fields can also be pulled into the form created. For example, to add the loan amount to the form, call Field 32 in the downs and overs.

    Once the form has been completed, press <ESC> to return to Laser Forms. Then go to PRINT FORMS (01.15.14.20.10). A blank LX form cannot be printed because it consists of data only. Enter the system number and the system will collect data. When it is 100% complete, press <S> to select the form. Press <F3>FORWARD to advance or <F4>BACKWARD to return to the previous page. Enter the sequence number of the LX form to print and press <ESC> to return to the print menu. Press <P> to print.
