Third check not printing correctly

Brad Jude

I'm using Quicken 2020 on Windows 10 with a new printer and third check only partially prints. The printer prints the date and numerical amount but nothing else (no name, spelled amount, or memo). Cannon Imageclass MF642Cdw set up for partial page printing from Multi-purpose tray, centered, check number goes in first (the printer requires portrait orientation, and on the third check that means check number goes in first). On the Quicken print menu I specify this is the 3rd check and later that it has a tear off strip. It prints only the date and numerical amount and it wants me to feed another check, which I do and it prints the same thing. I've reset both my printer to factory defaults and reset Quicken check printing options per instructions on this web site. Very frustrating - worked fine on my old HP.

Try printing this "3rd check" rotated sideways, like an envelope. See the Style settings in Printer Setup, Edge or Centered.

Workaround:

If you can't resolve the issue, you can try to use form leaders to feed your printer with a proper 8.5x11 sheet while printing a partial 1- or 2-checks page in normal portrait orientation.

See https://intuitmarket.intuit.com/fsg/businesschecks/formleaders.aspx for an example of form leaders. Check your local office supply store, search on the Internet or order from Intuit.

 

My 2cents' worth:
I use Voucher checks (1 business size check + 2 stubs on an 8.5x11 sheet). My printers do not have a manual feed tray or 2nd paper tray that can easily be reconfigured to feed partial pages (1 or 2 checks left from a 3-checks-per-page sheet), so for my occasional check printing needs voucher checks are easiest to use.
When considering your own check stock to use, consider how easy or difficult it is to feed special forms or odd-size partial pages into your printer when making a purchase decision for a new supply of checks.

Thank you, 3rd check is printing OK now, but printer is signaling paper size mismatch and trying to print it again. It won't take the custom paper size I enter on printer console. I think I need to take this up with Canon or take your Form Leader suggestion.

How are you feeding this check? In normal portrait orientation? Or sideways like an envelope?

Brad Jude

Took your advice and fed the 3rd check long side (8 1/2") first rather than the 4" side as I had been doing. Set up Quicken for Portrait as in the screen shot you gave me.
