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.

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.
