How do I ALIGN MY PRINTER TO PRINT CHECKS?
Best Answer
-
Printing checks, ordering checks from Intuit
Click File / Printer Setup / For printing checks to select the correct Check Style.
- For 3-per-page personal size checks choose "Wallet Checks (Check 21 ...)", not "Wallet Checks" (unless you still use some very old stock from many years ago)
- For 3-per-page business size checks choose "Standard Checks", not "Voucher Checks".
- For 1-per-page business size checks with 2 stubs choose "Voucher Checks".
Canadian users need to select between 2 layout styles, e.g., old style "Voucher" vs. new style "Voucher - Image ready".
You may have to scroll the list of check styles up or down to see all available styles.Also be sure to choose and test the proper selections for how to print a partial page in your printer … the settings to choose (e.g., horizontal vs. vertical feed) may depend on the make and model of printer that you use.
Quicken US version only: For a review of Quicken - compatible check styles and perhaps to order new supplies, please see https://intuitmarket.intuit.com/checks (the website talks about checks for use with QuickBooks but the same style checks also work with Quicken)

You can only use Quicken designated check stock, not any other type. With the correct checks, go to File>Printer Setup>For Printing Checks.When I still printed checks, I used plain paper and placed the print out behind a sheet of check stock and held up to a light, so as not to waste checks. Works well to get all aligned.

I can only add that once you get your checks aligned you write down somewhere the settings that you have made. This will save you from repeating the process if you alignment adjustments are lost via a Q update or an update to your printer...
