Check Printing

Printing Checks on Preprinted Stock

In RunPTO, you have the convenience of printing checks on preprinted stock. The recommended format for the preprinted check stock is one check per page in the check-on-top format. The preprinted stock usually includes important details such as:

• Organization’s Name, Address, and Logo
• Bank Name and Address
• Check Number
• MICR line, which includes the Bank Routing Number and Account Number already printed

By using preprinted check stock, you can ensure that your checks are professional-looking and include all the necessary information for banking purposes.

When using RunPTO’s check printing feature, the following check details will be printed on your preprinted check:

• Check Date: The date of the check.
• Pay To Name: The recipient’s name or the entity being paid.
• Amount: The monetary value of the check.
• Amount in Words: The written form of the check amount.
• Memo: Additional notes or description for the payment.

These check details will be automatically retrieved from the Expense transaction for which the check is being printed. To access and print the check, simply retrieve he Expense transaction in the Withdrawals section. Then, click on “Display/Print Check” to generate the check with the associated details.
