We recommend checking the design of the form you will print with MergePrint Utility with PrintFlex before starting your print production process. This check can be performed with printed copies of the form and the ScanFlex Forms Design "Rules for Success" Checklist.
Perform these checks before you create your ScanTools application and before you start your print production process.
