GDI Target Printer Group
This group displays a list of forms specific to the tax form on which you are working. For illustrative purposes, those specific to Form W-2 are shown below. Notice that some forms are displayed in red, others in black.
Designated Forms for Form W-2
Forms displayed in red require a preprinted form. Account Ability prepares preprinted forms by filling in the boxes.
Forms displayed in black require ordinary copy paper or blank perforated forms. Account Ability prepares these forms by drawing the form and filling in the boxes simultaneously. Although ordinary copy paper can be used, blank perforated paper is suggested. The Account Ability Forms Division (see below) carries a complete line of blank perforated laser forms and companion envelopes.

If this indicator is checked an Information Copy is drawn in black and white on ordinary copy paper. Otherwise, a preprinted form is required. The Information Copy is generally for the filer's use and should not be filed with IRS.
If this indicator appears in place of the Info Copy indicator shown above, the IRS will accept a substitute copy of Form 1096 drawn by Account Ability on ordinary copy paper. Sub. Copy will only appear for certain forms (e.g. 1099-CAP, 1099-LTC, 1099-Q, 1099-SA, 5498-SA. 5498-ESA).
If checked, Account Ability automatically sets the printed indicator on each return printed.
If checked, the first five digits of the payee's social security number (SSN) or employer identification number (EIN) will be replaced with an X (e.g. SSN 123-45-6789 would be replaced with XXX-XX-6789; EIN 12-3456789 would be replaced with XX-XXX-6789).
Place a check mark in front of each form to print and click the Print button at the bottom of the GDI Print Options dialog. If you are using the free IDMSPDF writer, the next section describes how to print recipient's returns to distinct PDF files.
