Check Printing

Design Manager offers three check layout options - top, middle, and bottom. You may select whichever position check you wish to use and can adjust the alignment Checks can be ordered through our partner Nelco.

You can see examples of the check layout options here.

If you notice, the Top position check has the word Dollars pre-printed on it while the middle and bottom checks do not. Instead, Design Manager prints the word Dollars after the dollar amount is printed, thus not allowing for anyone to write on the check to change the amount. The Top check option is right aligned to avoid a security issue. If you want to avoid the right aligned printing on the check, we suggest using the middle or bottom layout options.

If you would like to change the position of how the check prints on the page follow the steps below:

1. On the left side menu click on Settings and then click on Workflow Settings and go to the Print tab.

2. Click the Check position drop down menu and choose your position.

3. If you need to make adjustments to the top or bottom alignment (move printing up or down), use the Trim Printer Alignment field. To move printing down, use a positive number; start with .25. To move it up on the check, use a negative number; start with -.25.

4. When you are finished making changes here, click on Save.

5. It is recommended to print a sample check from Design Manager on regular paper and hold up to your check paper to see the layout and if adjustments need to be made. Follow the steps below to print a check.

To print a check you will first need to enter the transaction that is being paid for by a check. For example, if you need to print a check to a furniture Vendor, you'll need to enter the Vendor Invoice or bill first and select to pay by check. Then you can follow the steps below to print a check.

1. On the left side menu click on Accounts Payable and then click on Payments.

2. Find the payment shown in the list and tag it by clicking in the box to the left. Note: You can see all checks by clicking on Pay With and selecting A Check.

3. Click on Actions and select Printed Checks.

4. Enter the check information

5. Click on Create PDF. You'll use this PDF to print from your computer onto your check paper. You can download the PDF if needed.

6. When the check has printed successfully, click on Accept Check(s) and this will record the check payment under your Checkbook register.

In order to reprint a check, you must first void the check in your checkbook. Go to Accounts Payable - Checkbook. Tag the check and click on the Actions button and select Void. Then go to your Payments & Checks window. Here, you will see the check payment entry you made awaiting for a check to be re-printed. Follow the steps above to re-print the check.
