The 1099 forms are designed especially for laser printers, and should work without adjustments. If not, the margins can be adjusted by editing the 1099 form's report parameters. Choose Report Parameters from the Utilities menu, which is under the Setup menu. Click once on the 1099 report format, then click Parameters. Q. I adjusted the margins on my 1099 forms but they still are not properly aligned.
Alignment can be tricky with the wide variation in fonts, computers, and printers available today.
All of these variables can cause the spacing to differ enough to throw off the forms. The 1099 form can be difficult to align exactly since the blanks both vertical and horizontal margins are narrow. If you have access to another printer, try it next. Or, try using the same printer from a different computer. The font setup in the two computers may be slightly different, enabling you to print the forms.
