Correct a Check

You can correct and print checks again using a variety of combinations. Deciding which combination to use typically depends on whether you use pre-printed check stock or blank check stock, and whether or not you can use the same check number again.

Note: You can correct and print single and multiple checks.

To use a new check number, void and recreate the check. Do this when:

  • The physical checks are no longer good and you need to start with the next check number.

  • You use pre-printed check stock that prevents you from re-using certain numbers.

To use new check numbers, delete the check, reset the starting number, and then recreate it. Do this when:

  • You can re-use all check numbers in the range.

  • You use pre-printed stock, but accidentally print checks on blank paper.

  • Your checks didn't print and you can re-use the same numbers.

  • You print to blank check stock and you can re-use the same numbers.

Note: Deleting a check number from the bank register clears the number out of the register and allows you to re-use it again. When you select Delete payments on the Payment printing status screen, the starting check number defaults to the first number in the deleted range. If you don't want to use it, enter a different starting number.

Print the check again when it prints incorrectly due to alignment or other printer issues.

Tip: When reprinting a check, you don't need to enter the starting and ending check number again.
