Before printing checks, you'll need to complete the print checks setup to ensure alignment between your printer and the checks. This process is easy; you can use your checks formatted for QuickBooks or order QuickBooks-compatible checks from Intuit.
There are two types of checks: standard and voucher. Standard checks come with three checks per page, while voucher checks include check stubs and only have one check per page. During the print checks setup, select the check type you're using. QuickBooks will remember your choice for future use.
While recording a new check, select the 'Print later' checkbox or the 'Print check' option. It adds the check to your print queue, allowing you to print multiple checks simultaneously.
With your checks queued up, it's time to print. Note that if you need to change the check type (standard or voucher), simply open the print setup and alter your check type. Here's how you print your checks:
Load your checks into the printer. Consider a test print on plain paper first to ensure alignment and prevent wasting checks.
Select the checking account from which you've created the check.
In the 'Starting check no.' field, enter the first check number in the printer.
Check the boxes next to the checks you wish to print.
Select 'Preview and print.' If everything is accurate, select 'Print.'
If the checks print correctly, select 'Done'. If not, choose to reprint checks or keep them in the print list, and adjust your alignment settings in the print setup.
