Help with E-Doc printing

Need some help. How can you tell when printing e-docs whether to use letter or legal size paper?

Sometimes the packages are mixed, and if you have 2 trays you can print both. I had one company that I printed out mixed copies for and in their final email (which I wish I had read first) said do this all in legal size - so I re-ran. You might want to check your instructions, but if nothing special is specified you are probably safest to do all in Legal size. IMHO

Just use legal sized paper 100% of the time and you should be fine.

I think our industry is going to change and by the end of 2005 many signing companies, title, etc. are going to want a dual tray capability from us. www.123Notary.com now highlights a "dual tray" next to your name on their website.

I'm not suggesting you won't get signings if you don't have a dual tray but if you have the 2nd tray it could be a way to capture new business or keep old business in 2005!!

I agree that there may be more requesting dual tray capability, but I have noticed now a trend by the recording clerks to accept 8½ x 14 (legal) size documents without additional cost. The big concern initially was with scanning hardware and software for the recordings. Now that the newer scanners are accepting large size (11 x 17) documents, legal paper is no longer a problem.

I have 2 trays, but e-docs don't always print out right. I started printing all docs on legal size, then when making borrower copies, I sort out those that are letter size and copy them as such. Give all legals to the borrowers and send the mixed back to the lender.

Make sure you get the files/docs. in .pdf format, and your printer is set correctly.

I burnt thru a rem of paper once before it dawned on me the lender had sent the darn docs in landscape format. That was a fun 1 1/2 hour print job.

Re: The Industry might be changing

That's a lot of unnecessary effort. Unless you're specifically told to print some of the documents on letter sized paper you should just print on all legal. I always print on all legal and it's never once been a problem.
