Question

Vendor Check Print Settings

  • July 22, 2022

When I print vendor checks it prints the vendor name up to high on the "pay to the order" line. From looking into this you can change alignment but it is only letting me change the alignment to the "$" on the far right, which is "alignment grid 2". Is this possible? 

 

I did order my checks thru Costco but the checks were the same.

Thanks for reaching out to us, @MickeyK.

 

I want to help you with this check alignment concern in QuickBooks Desktop. 

 

Please know that QuickBooks has its own checks that are compatible with the program. If you purchased from a different source, it doesn't guarantee that the alignment will match with the grids in QuickBooks.

 

Please let me know if these are the steps you've tried earlier:

 

  1. Go to File , then choose Printer Setup.
  2. From the Form Name drop-down menu, select Check/Paycheck.
  3. For the check style, choose Voucher.
  4. Click the Align button.
  5. Press Print Sample, then compare it to your pre-printed checks.
  6. Using the grid on the sample, adjust the horizontal and vertical settings, then click OK.
  7. Click Align again and print another sample.
  8. Compare the sample to your check stock and adjust the alignment again as necessary.
  9. Repeat steps 4 through 8 until you have the alignment perfect.

 

If yes, I've added some articles that will help you resolve common printing and alignment issues on continuous-feed printers:

 

 

Please update me how it goes. I want to make sure you can print the checks properly. Just mention me or reply to this thread for the details.

Yes, I followed these steps but as mentioned it is ONLY allowing me to change the grid #2. It does not give me the option to change the "pay to the order" line.

Hello, MickeyK.

 

Thank you for taking the time to set up the alignment when printing vendor checks by following the instructions provided above by my colleague. I'll share some troubleshooting procedures to determine if this is an issue with the QuickBooks program or the preprinted checks.

 

Let's download and install QuickBooks Tool Hub. Then, you can run the QuickBooks PDF & Print Repair Tool to resolve any printing-related issues with the program. I'll show you how.

 

  1. Close QuickBooks.
  2. Download the most recent version (1.5.0.0) of the QuickBooks Tool Hub. Save the file somewhere you can easily find it.
  3. Open the file you downloaded (QuickBooksToolHub.exe).
  4. Follow the on-screen steps to install and agree to the terms and conditions.
  5. Once done, double-click the icon on your Windows desktop to open the tool hub.

 

Once installed, run the QuickBooks PDF & Print Repair Tool from the tool hub.

 

Here's how:

 

  1. In the QuickBooks Tool Hub, click Program Problems.
  2. Select QuickBooks PDF & Print Repair Tool. 
  3. Attempt to print, email, or save as a PDF from QuickBooks Desktop again.

 

If the same, the preprinted check you have isn't QuickBooks formatted. I recommend purchasing a preprinted check directly from the IntuitMarket website. 

 

I'm also adding this article for your reference: Create, modify, and print checks.
