Bitmap Letterhead: SELECT THIS OPTION ONLY IF YOU HAVE SET UP A LETTERHEAD BITMAP IN THE "SET UP LATITUDE" SCREEN. (see the "Setting Up Latitude" section above on how to set up a letterhead bitmap). Select this option to use a bitmap image of your own letterhead. This option is currently only available in the "Invoice GST Tax Invoice" Template.

 

Letter Head: This includes your company name, company information (A.B.N., phone number etc.) using Latitude format. If you wish to use your company's pre-printed letter head paper to print Invoices, then de-select both options.

 

Remit Bitmap: Select to remove the remittance section of the invoice or paste to use your own remittance bitmap

 

Postal Address: Postal address of invoice recipient.
