Computer Settings for Printing Checks

We do recommend Mozilla Firefox but you are still able to use Internet Explorer to print checks. The reason we recommend Mozilla Firefox is because they use a standard process when making any updates to their program. On the other hand, the updates from Microsoft on the different versions of Internet Explorer are not standard, which may cause many compatibility issues.

 

Below we have provided the instructions for both browsers.

1)First click on FILE on your menu bar on the Browser you are using i.e. Firefox, Internet Explorer etc.

2)Next go to PAGE SET UP.

3)The printer you are using will determine the margins you will need. The margins displayed when you open page setup are only a starting point, you may have to adjust the margins for proper alignment. A good base setting when using Mozilla Firefox may be to set the Top, Left and Right margins to 0.3 and Bottom margin to 0.0

Browser and Printer combination may require you to adjust your margins.

 

1)Remove checkmark on the little box-shrink to fit

2)Set to Portrait and Letter

3)Remove all headers and footers

Note:           Checks and vouchers may have a slightly different alignment.

          We recommend you follow the steps above for checks or vouchers.

          On the following pages we show you an example what areas you need to work           with in the page set up.
