A note for Printing W-2s

Selecting to print will prompt you to prepare your printer with forms.
The first two forms that print are actual W-2's but they are used for an alignment test. After the printing of these first two forms you will beprompted whether you want to continue printing or adjust alignment using the row and column offset (see below). If you select to adjust the alignment you will again print the first two forms and you will be prompted again. This may be repeated as many times as needed (keep in mind that you will use up 2 more W-2s each time you do this. When the alignment is correct, and you click continue, the printing will begin at the third employee.
