Hi Eileen, The easiest way to find a signature line is to find the line using the camera. You will notice on the side of the camera, in line with the aperture, is a little line. If you can align something with that then you are on the correct vertical level for the signature. I had to sign a lot of documents at work. What I ended up doing was a bit experimental. I took a paper weight and placed it on the paper. I discovered how far I had to set it above the signature line so I could use it as a top guide for signing forms. There is about an inch from the top of the camera to where the aperture is, so if you find the signature line, you can place the paperweight on the top edge of the camera, read along the bottom of the paperweight to make sure it is aligned horizontally, then adjust the paperweight down slightly if the signature area is smaller. Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.
