Cheques To Print

The Cheques To Print menu item will bring up a list of all cheques that need to be printed (see screenshot below). These include payroll cheques, payments to vendors and other, miscellaneous cheques.

Cheques To Print

To begin printing the cheques, select the cheques to print from the list. To select multiple cheques, drag over the cheques to select them. To select the entries one by one, hold down the command key while clicking on a cheque to add or subtract it from the selection.

When the cheques to print have been hilited, click on the Print Cheques option. There will be two options: Payroll and Standard.

Payroll will print the cheques with deduction information included with the remainder of the cheque.

Standard will simply print the cheques without the payroll information.

After printing, a dialog box will ask, Did the cheques print correctly? If they did, answer Yes and the cheques that have just printed will be removed from this list (since they no longer need to be printed). Otherwise, if the printing was not successful, the cheques will stay on the list until it is indicated that they have printed properly.
