If the Increment Next Check No. When Changed During Printing check box is selected in the Accounts Payable Options window, the next check number entered in Bank Code Maintenance is incremented when you change the check number in this field.

Select this check box to print the checks with general ledger distribution information. Clear this check box if you do not want to print the general ledger distribution information.

 

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