To test the Reminder Notice printing
The Reminder Notice printing can be tested using the same customer record that was used to test the billing data generation:
- Make sure the report destination (select Files> Report Destination) is set to the printer (not to screen) to be used to print the notices during a live run. To avoid layout and text placement distortions, never test the renewal notice by first printing it to the screen and then printing the screen output to the printer.
- Print the Initial Bill. As a guideline, see To run individual dues renewal billing. If billing data already exists as a result of testing the generation of the billing data, leave all Billing Options unselected.
- To experiment with a different format choice, select a different format from the Forms drop-down list on the Set up billing cycles window. If there is a problem with the text or the placement of the overlay text, edit the Report Specs parameters text. If a change is made in either of these areas or in the Billing and Reminder Title or the notice-specific text area, repeat to check the output.
- Repeat, testing the First and Second Reminder Notices.
