Trust Accounting Q&A: Check Test Pattern

July 2023    Tags: Checks, Printing, Trust Accounting

We just ordered new Trust checks. Before we start printing checks, is there a way to make sure that everything will line up properly?

In Trust Accounting, a check test pattern can be printed that is comprised of “X’s” where the information would be printed. Although the test pattern can be printed on an actual check form, we recommend using a blank sheet of paper and holding it up to the check form so as not to waste checks.

To print a check test pattern

1. In the Quick Launch, search for and select “Print Check Test pattern.”
2. In the Selected Printer section, select your check printer.
3. In the Output To section, select Printer and click OK.
4. Select the Bank and then click OK.

If the information does not line up, adjustments can be made to the margins and printer offset adjustment via Print Setup.
