APPENDIX 1 REVISED FORMAT FOR CREDITORS MATRIX In order to insure that the cases you file can be properly read by the optical scanner, we ask that you observe the following guidelines. Your cooperation is essential if we are to make any major improvements in our existing system. 1. Lists must be typed in one of the following standard typefaces or print styles:  Courier 10 pitch  Prestige Elite  Letter Gothic 2. List should be typed on a single page in a single column rather than in three columns (see examples attached). The reason addresses must be in a single column is because the optical character reader scans the material automatically from left to right, line by line. If on the current matrices being submitted to the court, the first column has an address with three lines, the second column has an address with four lines and the third column with five lines, the optical character reader will see the blank line after the first address and not read any further. Thus, we will feed into the OCR single column addresses that will be read automatically and completely. 3. List must be typed so that no letters are closer than ½ inch from any edge of the paper. 4. Each name/address must consists of no more than 5 (five) total lines with at least one blank line between each of the name/address blocks. 5. Each line must be 40 characters or less in length. 6. DO NOT include the following people (who were formerly required on creditor matrices). They will be retrieved automatically by the computer for noticing.  Debtor  Joint Debtor  Attorney for the Debtor(s). THINGS TO AVOID Although the court is using sophisticated equipment and software to insure accuracy in creditor list reading, certain problems can still occur. By following these guidelines, the court will avoid delays or additional effort in mailing notices. The following problems can prevent your lists from being read by the optical scanner, requiring you to re-submit your creditor list in an acceptable form: 1. Extra marks on the list – such as letterhead, dates, debtor name, coffee stains, handwritten marks. 2. Non-standard paper such as onion skin, half-sized paper, or colored (such as yellow) paper. 3. Poor quality type cause by submitting a photocopy or carbon, using an exhausted typewritten ribbon, or using a typewrite with a fabric ribbon. 4. Unreadable typefaces or print styles such as proportionally spaced fonts, dot matrix printing, or exotic fonts (such as Olde English or script). Use only Courier 10, Prestige Elite, or Letter Gothic. 5. Misaligned list caused by removing the paper from the typewriter before completing the list or inserting the paper into the typewriter crookedly. 6. Incorrect typewrite settings will cause unreadable lists. Make certain that your typewrite is set for 10 pitch if you are using a 10 pitch type style. 7. Stray marks should be avoided. Do not type lines, debtor name, page number, or anything else on the front of a creditor list. Any identifying marks you choose to-add can be typed on the back of the list. 8. Upper case only (all capital letters). Should be avoided. Type in upper and lower case as you would on a letter. 9. Zip Code must be on the last line. Nine digit zip codes should be typed with a hyphen separating the two groups of digits. DO NOT type attention lines or account number on the last line; put these on the second line of the name/address if needed. (The zip code must be at the end of the zip code sorting equipment to find it.) 10. Fabric Ribbons should be avoided. They produce letters which are fuzzy to be properly scanned.
