Adjust Check Printing

Sometimes, it may be necessary to adjust the placement of printed items on a check to match the check paper being used. Follow the steps below to make these adjustments. For specifications on checks supported by CustomBooks™, see Printing Checks in CustomBooks™ knowledgebase article.

To Adjust Print Settings for Checks

  1. Make a copy of a sheet of checks for testing.
  2. Verify the accuracy of the copy by holding it up to the light with the original sheet. Ensure the printed portions align exactly. If they do not, create another copy, ensuring the paper is properly aligned in the copier.
  3. Insert the copy into the printer, ensuring the printing side is facing the correct way.
  4. Open the Bill Payment or Payment document. Click the Print drop-down > Check Printing, then select a print template to use.



  5. Examine the printed copy and note any necessary adjustments.
  6. From the Print Preview window, go to Print Settings, adjust the Check and Stub Spacing, and save the changes.



  7. Using another copy of the check sheet, print the check again. Repeat the adjustments as needed until the fields align properly.
