In Payment format, select one of the following formats:

• Double stub laser check (Blank paper)

Note: If you use a different check format, you can change to one of these accepted formats or print your check from the database view.

To include the payment number on your checks, select Payment number. This option is available only for pre-printed checks.

To enter a note or to select an existing note, select Note on check stub. This option is available only for single stub checks.

In Transit ABA number, enter the number supplied by the bank. This field is not available for pre-printed checks.

Note: To include your logo on blank check stock, you must print from the database view.

To include your organization name on the check, select the checkbox and enter the name. This field is not available for pre-printed checks.

To include an address on the check, select the address to use and where you want it to display. You can select to print the address on the check only, check stub only, or check and stub. This field is not available for pre-printed checks.

Under Print this on the check stub, select the checkboxes for the information to print on the stub.

Define the default MICR Line settings. For more information, see Format MICR Settings.

Under Print format, select Print transaction detail sheet or Total per check printing.

• For detail sheets, you can select to have all transactions appear on the detail sheet, regardless of the number of transactions paid by the check, or you can select to have the transactions print on the check stub with additional transactions on the detail sheet.

• If you select Total per check printing, the transactions print on the check stub and the check is printed for that amount. If a vendor has too many transactions to fit on the check stub, additional checks print based on the number of remaining transactions.

Note: The number of transactions that prints on the check stub depends on the check format. Single stub formats can fit 35 transactions. Double stub blank paper can fit 11 transactions. Double stub pre-printed can fit 15 transactions before printing additional checks.

Select Alignment to make sure the check is aligned properly. Use the arrows to specify the alignment. To specify the address alignment, select Only vendor address. To revert back to the original position, select Restore to default in the All content drop down.

Before saving your default settings, select Test check to print a check with the defined settings. This helps to make sure checks are formatted and aligned correctly before your actual check run.
