In order to ensure that the cases you file can be properly
read by the optical scanner, we ask that you observe the following
guidelines: |
Matrix must be typed in one of the following standard fonts,
in a 10- or 12-point size:
- Courier
- Courier New
- CG Times
- Letter Gothic
- Times New Roman
|
Matrix should be typed in a single column, down the center
of the page. |
Each address should not exceed a total of (five) 5 lines.
|
Each line in the address should not exceed 40 characters.
|
Matrix should have at least one blank line between each
address. |
Use upper and lower case letters (capital and small letters).
Do not use all capital letters. |
Nine-digit ZIP codes should be typed with a hyphen separating
the two groups of digits. |
Things to Avoid:
The following will prevent your list from being read by the optical
scanner, requiring you to resubmit your creditors list:
Non-address data:
- debtor
- joint debtor
- attorney for debtor(s)
- account number
- attention line
- page numbers
|
Extra marks: letterhead, dates, coffee stains, handwritten
marks, lines, symbols, etc. |
Non-standard paper: onion skin, half-sized paper, colored
paper. |
Poor quality type, unreadable fonts or print styles: photocopy,
carbon, exotic fonts, proportionally-spaced fonts, script
fonts, non-office quality printer (dot-matrix print with less
than 360 dpi). |
Misarranged list: paper incorrectly inserted into the printer
causing list to be skewed. |
Text attributes: bold, italics, underline. |
Sample Fonts:
- Courier: The Quick Brown
Fox Jumps Over the Lazy Dog.
- Courier New: The Quick Brown Fox Jumps
Over the Lazy Dog.
- CG Times: The Quick Brown Fox Jumps
Over the Lazy Dog.
- Letter Gothic: The

Note:
A creditor matrix may be filed on a high density floppy
disk. The diskette must be clearly labeled with the case
number and title (if filed after petition). The creditors'
names and addresses must be saved in ASCII format for
our automated system to recognize the characters and convert
to the court's database. The diskette will then become
part of the official case file, similar to a paper matrix,
and will not be returned.
Important Note:
If you
are using WordPerfect versions 6 through 8, save the
document as file type "ASCII DOS Text".
If you are using Microsoft Word, save the document
as type "MS-DOS Text".
If you are using WordPad, save the document as type
"Text Document - MS-DOS Format".
If you are using notepad, save the document as type
"Text Documents".
