How To: Print Checks
1. BackgroundIn The Logger's Edge you can print Checks for vendors. This feature is useful for those users that do not have a Check writing program as part of their accounting system.
2. Steps InvolvedSet Cull Support Flag
In the Basic Setup Window, the flag that enables 'Check Printing' needs to be turned on.
This action can only be performed by someone logged in as an administrator.
Design Check Template
Next, go to the menu item: File | System Configuration. On the miscellaneous tab there is a button called 'Template Design'. This button allows you to set the layout for your voucher Checks.
Click the button:
This action brings up a window that allows you to set the location of the printed items for your voucher Check. You can move any of the turquoise items by dragging and dropping them. The 'Left' and 'Top' entry boxes at the bottom of the form show the exact location (in inches) where an item will be printed. This template assumes that you are using 3-part preprinted voucher Checks that already contain your own company's information and your checking account information. You only need to fill in the blanks. For example, some voucher Checks have the main Check as the middle part of the Check instead of the top. In this case, you would just move the entries from the top to the middle part of the template.
If you do not
want to drag & drop to set up your template, you can (1) click on an item,
(2) enter the left & top locations (in inches) you need, and (3) click the
green arrow.
.
This will move the item to the location you have specified.
You may have to experiment a bit in order to get every item lined up exactly right. You must remember to take into account any left gutter/margin that is set for your printer. For example, on an HP Laserjet, you may have a left gutter of about 1/4".
Printing Vendor Checks
In order to print vendor Checks, navigate the vendor statement grid and click on the Summary button.
The 'Print Checks' button is available in summary mode.
The 'Print Checks' button allows you to:
- Select the vendors whose Checks you want to print
- Set the number of the first Check to be printed. The Logger's Edge does not actually print the check number (this should already be preprinted on your Checks). But, The Logger's Edge does save the Check number with the vendor statement so that you can obtain the Check number for ant previously issued statement.
- Set the date for the Check(s).
Once you have made your selections, click OK
The Logger's Edge will then prompt you to make sure you have your Checks loaded into your printer. Your printing will start when you click OK.
