Printing checks

You can print a check when you enter it, or you can print it at a later time. You can print and reprint individual checks, or you can print and reprint several checks at the same time -- the choice is yours.

You can print and reprint a single check at the Spend Money window, and you can print and reprint a batch of checks by clicking the Print Checks button at the command center. If you wish to reprint a batch of checks, be sure the Unprinted Checks Only selection isn't marked when you choose information in the Forms Selection window. (The Forms Selection window is displayed when you click the Print Checks button.)

Customizing the look of your forms

Choose a form layout for your checks

Access the Forms Selection window by clicking the Print Checks button at the command center. Here you can print your checks on a continuous feed or laser printer, and you can customize your checks so they'll look the way you want them to look. Collectively, these choices are called form layouts in AccountEdge.

The Continuous Feed Check form layout allows you to print checks on connected sheets of check forms. One check form is followed by one check stub.

The Laser Check form layout allows you to print checks one page at a time on a laser printer. The Laser Check form layout is also set up so two check stub forms are printed after the check form.

You can also customize the look of your printed checks. (Customizing checks)
