Being able to guide you on how to do your payroll is our top priority, BEGSCHLEG.

 

QuickBooks allows you to print checks which saves time and reduces data input error. You'll have to buy and use pre-printed checks for your payroll. To print paychecks, follow the steps below: 

  • The first step is to set up your printer in QuickBooks 

     

    1. Go to File menu. Then select Printer Setup.
    2. Under Form Name, select Check/Paycheck.
    3. Under Settings tab, select the following:
      1. Printer Name: should be your printer
      2. Printer Type: should be your printer
      3. Check Style: select the 3-part checks (paycheck with two pay stubs)
    4. Select OK

 

  • You may want to test print a check on blank paper to determine which direction to load your check stock in your printer. 

    1. On the blank piece of paper, write Top, Bottom, then flip the paper over and write Back.  
    2. Load the test paper in your printer and follow the steps below to test print one check.  
    3. Review how the check info prints on the paper and load your check stock accordingly.
