Both the W-2 Federal copy and W3 Summary can be printed using the preprinted red scannable Federal Copy A, but it can also be laser printed in black. Check your software for the capability to print black Federal Copy A. You are required to use the preprinted red scannable copy A on both the 1099 Federal Copy A and the 1096 Summary form.
