Checks or paychecks printing in wrong or reverse order

Changes in the printer preferences may cause checks, paychecks, and other transactions such as invoices and purchase orders to not print in the expected order.

To resolve the issue, you need to update the print order preferences:

  1. From File, select Printer setup.
  2. In the Form Name ▼ dropdown, choose the transaction type.
  3. Select Options.
  4. In the Page order field, select either Front to back or Back to front.
  5. Select OK to save the printer settings.
  6. Select OK to close the Printer setup window.
Important:
  • The location of the Page order preference may vary. It's usually found in the Advanced tab after selecting Options. If you have difficulty locating this preference, please consult your printer's manufacturer for assistance.
  • Some printers by default print pages in reverse order (or printing the last page first). Please check the documentation that came with your printer for steps to change your printer Properties settings.
