Printing checks

I’ve got you covered, ammtec.


Based on the information, it looks like your using QuickBooks Desktop. We’ll have to configure the Alignment Grid to adjust the horizontal/vertical settings. This is to fine-tune the adjustments and position of printed text on your checks.


I’m here to help make sure the process is a breeze for you. Here’s how:

 

  1. Press the File menu at the top bar and choose Printer Setup.
  2. In the Printer setup window, click the Form Name drop-down menu to select Check/Paycheck.
  3. Go to the Check Style section and tick the radio button for Voucher.
  4. Tap the Align button to open the Fine Alignment window.
  5. From there, press the Print Sample button and compare it to your pre-printed checks.
  6. Review the alignment grid that QuickBooks printed on the sample.
  7. In the Vertical and Horizontal fields, tell QuickBooks by how much and in what direction to move the printed text and press OK.
  8. Click Align again and print another transaction using a sheet of paper.

 

Compare the sample to your check and adjust if necessary. If you continue to get the same result, use the QuickBooks PDF & Print Repair Tool to resolve the issue. Here’s an article that will walk you through the process: Troubleshoot PDF and Print problems with QuickBooks Desktop.


For future reference, the following resource contains solutions on how to set up and make adjustments to the print alignment: Fix print alignment of continuous-feed printers.


Stay in touch if you still have questions about printing transactions. I’m more than happy to answer them for you. Wishing your business continued success.
