Checks are printing in reverse order how do I change it?

I can help with this. @marta10.

 

To resolve the issue, you need to update the print order preferences. Here's how:

  1. From File, select Printer setup.
  2. In the Form Name ▼ dropdown, choose the transaction type.
  3. Select Options.
  4. In the Page order field, select either Front to back or Back to front.
  5. Select OK to save the printer settings.
  6. Select OK to close the Printer setup window.

Important:

  • The location of the Page order preference may vary. It's usually found in the Advanced tab after selecting Options. If you have difficulty locating this preference, please consult your printer's manufacturer for assistance.
  • Some printers by default print pages in reverse order (or printing the last page first). Please check the documentation that came with your printer for steps to change your printer Properties settings.

Let me know if you have other questions on this! I'm always around to help.

Can you help with checks that print upside down. I made sure that the most recent version of acrobat is installed.

Also, from where are you accessing this File menu you mention. Is this for Mac? We are working from a Windows 10 system here. Thank you.

Hey there, @Lawpractice101.

 

Since you already updated your Adobe, you could check the printing alignment setting in QuickBooks and make sure it's set up correctly. The steps below will guide you on how to do it:

  1. Select the Plus icon (+) on the Toolbar.
  2. Under Vendors, choose Print Checks.
  3. At the bottom of the page, select Print Setup.
  4. The window changes to Print checks setup. Choose Nocontinue setup at the bottom of the page. On the next screen, select Nocontinue setup.
  5. Now you’re on Fine-tune alignment. Drag the grid inside the large square to the place where it appears on your printout. This lets QuickBooks figure out how to adjust the alignment.
  6. Select View preview and print sample in the lower left and choose Print at the bottom.
  7. After the sample is printed on plain paper, hold it up to the light against a check and see if the alignment is correct.
  8. If you still need to do some fine-tuning, close the sample and then go back to the grid to make adjustments, then print a fresh sample.
  9. Select Finish Setup when your sample’s alignment looks correct.

I'm also including this article for more information about this process: Setup to print checks.

 

That should do it. Let me know if this provides the solution for you! I'll be around.
