Last modified by Peytience S on 2023/10/31 18:07

Prior to printing the Red SSA copy of the W-2 and the Red W-3 forms you will want to check the alignment first.

  • Click the "Print" button and print pages 1 to 1 so just the first page prints onto plain paper.

Read our guide on printing alignments for red SSA W-2 and W-3 forms.

  • Hold the printout to the Red W-2 SSA copy and check the alignment.
  • If the printing needs to be adjusted to print on the form correctly, then click on the "Page Align" button.
  • Using the scroll bars to the right and below the picture, move them in the direction that the printing needs to move.
    • As you move them the Horizontal and Vertical offsets will change. The movement will be measured in inches and show in the corresponding offset box.
  • Once you have made the adjustments to the Vertical and Horizontal offsets, click 
    • "Finished". 

      NOTE: Do not click the Test Print button in the Page Align box. Click "Finished".

  • Click the "Print" button and print just the first page onto plain paper. Verify the alignment and make any further adjustments following the steps above.
  • Once aligned, print on the form.
