- From the Bank account dropdown ▼, select the account the cheque withdraws money from.
- Complete the cheque fields you need.
- Select the Print option.

How to print your cheque
If you're just recording a hand-written cheque, once you save your cheque, you're all done. Everything is in QuickBooks.
