How do I print checks?

Printing checks is simple, just follow the steps below.

1. From the Dashboard click Payroll then click Print Checks.
   
   
2. If you’ve never printed checks before, you’ll be taken to the "Check Templates" screen where you can select the template you want to use. If you have printed checks before, skip to step 8.
   
   
3. Select the check template design you want to use from the pre-printed or blank check stock options based on check stock you already own or plan to purchase.
   • Pre-printed stock, check on top, 7.5" stub
   • Pre-printed stock, check on bottom, 7.5" stub
   • Pre-printed stock, 2 stubs, check on top
   • Blank stock, check on top, 7.5" stub
   • Blank stock, check on bottom, 7.5" stub
   • Blank stock, 2 stubs, check on top 
4. If you select a blank check stock template, you’ll also need to select if you want your company’s Legal Name or DBA (Doing Business As) Name to display on the check.
   
   
5. Once you’ve made your template selection, click on the "Print Test Check" button. A PDF will generate that you should print on plain white paper. Hold the test print up to your check stock to make sure the fields line up correctly with your check stock. 
   • If the fields are aligned correctly, click on the "Save Template" button and skip to step 8.
   • If the fields are misaligned, click on the "Adjust Alignment" button so you can adjust the alignment so the fields will align correctly.
     
     
6. On the "Adjust Templates" screen, you may adjust your template in any direction by clicking on the up, down, left or right buttons. You can adjust a maximum of 8 positions (1/3 inch) in any direction.
   
   
7. Once you have made your adjustments, print a test check to ensure your changes have fixed your alignment issues.
   
   
8. Once everything is aligned correctly, click on the "Save Template" button.
   
   
9. Once you’ve completed steps 1 – 5 you’ll be taken to the Pay Period selection screen. Please note, once you’ve saved your check template selection, you will be taken to the Pay Period selection screen by default each subsequent time you click the Print Checks button.
   
   
10. Click on the "Print" button for the pay period you want to print checks for.
    
    
11. Enter the starting check number (this must be a number).
    
    
12. Select the check(s) you want to print using the checkboxes to the left then click on the "Print Selected" button. If you wish to print all of the checks, simply click on the "Print All" button.
    
    
13. A PDF will generate. Open this file and print it to your check stock.
    
    
14. You will be taken to the "Reprint Checks" screen so you can reprint any checks if needed. You are now done printing checks. 

Note: When printing, ensure your PDF reader is printing in “Actual Size,” not “Fit to Page.” Fields will not align correctly when not printed in actual size
