Hey there FK4,
Welcome to the QuickBooks Desktop family! Getting used to a new software can take a little bit of time, but the good news is I'm here to help. I'm happy to go over cheques in the program.
When you use QuickBooks Desktop, you can create and print both regular and pay cheques to give to your vendors or employees. Keep in mind, the program doesn't create a full cheque for you. It simply prints cheque details like the amount, name, date, and memo on the pre-existing cheque that you'd load into your print.
I can appreciate wanting to run a sample to make sure everything is in line with the cheques you're going to be printing on. You can make sure your alignment is what it needs to be from the Adjust alignment for forms and cheques article. Here's how you can find it.
- Select Help from the top menu in QuickBooks Desktop.
- Choose QuickBooks Desktop Help.
- Select the Help tab.
- Click the Search button.
- Type the title of the article or keywords into the search bar and click Enter.
For the best results with printing on cheques, consider using cheques formatted specifically for QuickBooks Desktop, which you can purchase from a company called D+H. Click the following to visit their website: D+H Business Cheques

I hope that helps!
