The screenshot below displays the output settings for each of the fields (except the MICR line) displayed above. As noted each field uses settings in "inches."



Each field has a default setting which is usually (zero) 0 for horizontal and vertical offsets. To adjust a field to the left or right, you need to subtract or add from the horizontal offset by the amount in inches you wish to move the default position. For example, if you wish to move a half-inch to the left and the horizontal offset is 0, you would change the horizontal offset to -0.5, and if you wish to move it to the right by a quarter of an inch from default position 0, your new setting will be 0.25.

If you needed to move a field up, you subtract from the original position by the amount in inches. One-tenth of an inch up from a default position of 0, would be -0.1. If you needed to move down , you would then be adding to the default value. For example, to move one-eighth of an inch down from 0, would be 0.125.
