Follow the steps below to update the alignment of your Budget checks.
- In Budget, select Options then select Accts Payable
- Use the Print Positions section to adjust the position of printed check elements
The print positions are entered in inches. The Top value is number of inches from the top of the check form and the Left value is number of inches from the left edge of the check form. You can use a ruler to measure as a starting point but you will need to use the Check Alignment tool to ensure the check elements print correctly.
- After editing the print position values, press the save button.
- Follow the steps in our Review Budget Check Alignment to print a test check.
The print button on the options screen does not print a test check. It prints a screenshot of the options screen.
