4.4. Printing to a 3 part check.

The following shows you how to setup and print to a 3 part check stock.

First, run the software.  This will show you the main screen.

If you have not already setup a 3 part check in the system, click on the main menu, then select check setup.

If there is not already a 3 part check type in the system, you can create one. Click on the New button.

This will prompt for what type of layout you want. Click on the 3 per page Layout, then click OK.

After you have selected the 3 part check type, you will be back at the main check screen to create your check entries.

 

You can rename the new Check type and check to see if all entries and selections look good to you.  Most are good to go.

Then click on the Select button to select this check style to be used.

You will be brought back to the main screen of the software to start printing checks to 3 part check stock. As you can see in the heading area, you are now using the check style you just created called 3 Per Page, and will print to your selected printer. You will also see there is a new option added to the bottom of the screen.  F8-Batch and F9 Print.

Fill in your first check entry that needs to be printed.  When finished keying the entry, press F8 to add it to the batch.

After pressing F8, the entry will be placed in the batch, it will look like this.

Keep keying the checks to be printed and add them to the batch by pressing F8 again....

When finished, the screen may look like this.

You can then press the F9 key or click on the print option to print them. It will take all the entries and print checks for them.  Your output will look like this.  Of course it will be on your own check stock.

The three checks will be printed to your stock.

If you only have two to print, then load both to the batch.

You will see the two entries to print along with the positions on the check stock it will print to.

Then click to print or F9 for these results.

 

 

Now, if after printing the two, there will be one check left on the page.  You can load that one check back into your printer and it will be used to print the next check.  Then move on to a new sheet.

After printing, the entries will be added to your History and Check Reconciliation screens as normal.  Here are the screen shots for that.

 

Main think to remember, it to add the entries to batch (F8) before printing them (F9). Otherwise it will print one at a time.
