Check Message

Enter a one-line message to be printed on the check. The message only prints on the check if you entered Y in the Print? column for the CHECK MESSAGE field using the Forms Customization feature.

Print checks already printed

Select this check box to include previously printed checks. Clear this check box to exclude checks already printed.

Note When reprinting previously printed checks, you must reenter the check message.

Print in ANSI Format

Select this check box to print checks in the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) format. Printing in this format aids in the use of Optical Character Recognition (OCR) for automatically reading and encoding check amounts by stripping leading asterisks, removing commas in the check amount, and left justifying the amount to the preprinted dollar sign on the check form. Clear this check box if you do not want to print checks in the ANSI format. This field is available only if the Graphical Forms Checks check box is selected in the Payroll Options window.

For more information about printing in ANSI format, see Print a Check in ANSI Format.

Example

A standard check amount of $1,200.50 or $1.00 would print as follows:

* * * * $1,200.50*
* * * * * * * *1.00*

An ANSI check amount of $1,200.50 or $1.00 would print as follows:
