Standard checks have three checks per page, and voucher checks have one check per page. Voucher checks also include check stubs. Select the check type you want to use when you go through the print checks setup. QuickBooks saves your settings for future use.

Print checks from the print queue

Now that your checks are in the queue, you can print them.

Note: If you need to change the type of check you’re printing (standard or voucher), open the print setup and change your check type.

  1. Select + New.
  2. Select Print checks.
  3. Load your checks into the printer.
    Tip: you can do a test print on plain paper first to check the alignment so you don’t waste checks.
  4. Select the checking account that you created the check from the drop-down ▼.
  5. In the Starting check no. field, enter the check number of the first check in the printer.
  6. Select the checkbox next to each check you want to print.
  7. Select Preview and print.
  8. If everything is correct, select Print.
  9. If your checks print correctly, select Done.

If you need to adjust any of your checks, select some checks need reprinting or keep checks in the Print checks list. You may need to open the print checks setup and adjust your alignment settings.

If you have spare checks,  print a leftover check the same way as a regular check.

To avoid paper jams in your printer, check out Intuit’s reusable Forms Leader. Attach your leftover checks to the form, and print a full sheet.
