    If this is the first time you are printing a document of this type, enter a folio prefix and a number to initialize a series for this type of document. For example, IN – 000001 for an A/R invoice. If you have already printed documents of this type, you can no longer change the folio prefix.

    The Folio Number Confirmation window appears, in which you can confirm the folio number after you have checked whether your printout was successful. If the printout was not successful, for example, due to a paper jam, assign a folio number at a later stage. For more information, see Assigning Folio Numbers After Documents Are Printed.

  5. If the printout was successful, make sure that the number and prefix are correct and choose OK.
