Add or Change A Signature on Budget Checks

Budget Manager can automatically print signatures on printed checks. The signature file must be a Bitmap Image file (BMP). Once setup and enabled, signatures will print on Budget checks automatically.

Create A BMP Signature File

If you need assistance creating a BMP image file, please reach out to our support team!

1. Use a black or dark ink pen to sign a blank piece of paper. (8.5x11 paper is best.)
2. If there are multiple signatures, sign one right below the other.
3. Scan the paper with a photocopier. Most copiers and scanners allow you to scan as an image (choose BMP if it's an option) or PDF.
4. If you cannot scan the signatures as a BMP file, you will need to convert the file to BMP.
   There are a number of free tools can do this for you (like MS Paint or Photopea) or reach out to our support team.
5. You can use the same file for both Budget and Payroll Checks.

Add Signatures to Checks

1. Save the signature BMP file to your Budget folder.
2. In Budget, go to Options then select Accts Payable
3. On the Accts Payable Options screen, make sure the Signature box is checked.
   
4. Enter the name of the signature file in the Check Signature File box or use the File Select button to select the signature file.
5. If you want a border around the signature, check the Enclose signature in a box option.
6. Press Save.

Next, follow the steps in the Review Budget Check Alignment article to ensure the signature prints in the correct position on the check.
