Update Payroll Check Alignment

Follow the steps below to update the alignment of your Payroll checks.

  1. In Payroll, select Options then select Pay Checks
  2. Use the Pay Ck/Dpst Notice 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.

  3. After editing the print position values, press the save button.
  4. Follow the steps in our Review Payroll 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.
