Print Manual Vendor Checks Page

After you add one or more manual checks with the Manual Checks option, you can print the checks using the Manual Check Entry page's Print item. This item activates a wizard process that includes two pages:

Vendor Check Line Up Page

Enables you to run a test to ensure that your check forms are lined up properly in your printer.

Print Manual Vendor Checks Page

Enables you to identify the range of checks you want to print. You can assign new numbers to the checks or use the checks' original check numbers.

If your server has the appropriate Optio software installed, you can use the print feature to generate a PDF copy of the printed check.

If you use Optio or other laser-printing software and do not have preprinted or MICR-encoded checks, do not use letters or symbols in your check numbers. In this case, you can only use numeric check numbers.

Menu Path

From the Fund Accounting menu, select Entry & Processing. From the Vendor Checks menu, select Manual Checks. On the action bar, click Print.
