Check printing alignment

jeanderson

Have been using Quicken to print checks for decades. I use the 3 per page wallet checks and laser printer. I have not changed checks (Deluxe DLW001-1). Starting a few weeks ago, checks were printing too low. Date was where amount should be. Don't know if this had something to do with the new software version (it happened around the same time).

So, I played around with the alignment and ended up adding a vertical offset of 25. I used this offset for 2 checks and 1 check per page as well as 3 per page. Now, the first check prints fine. The checks further down the page are printing way too high. It's like all the lines on a page have been squeezed. I've never really understood the alignment settings and why there's a different setting for 3, 2 and 1 checks. Are these only for when a feed a partial sheet, or are they the offset for the 2nd and 3rd check? Totally confused at this point.

Those settings are only for partial sheets of 1 or 2 checks. They allow for fine adjustment when the top check(s) are already torn off. I find it takes some experimentation & wasted checks, but I can get it to work. I use Intuit QuickBooks wallet checks.
