= SUMMARY =

Microsoft Money automatically prints information in the proper position on checks. However, because of printer and check variations, it may be necessary to adjust print alignment.

= MORE INFORMATION =

To adjust check alignment, follow these steps:

  Start Money.   On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Print Checks tab.   Under Printing Alignment, type the needed adjustments in the appropriate edit boxes. NOTE: The numbers are in sixteenths of an inch, and can be positive or negative. The first number controls vertical positioning on full sheets in portrait mode. A positive number causes information to print lower on the sheet. A negative number causes information to print higher. The second number controls horizontal positioning on full sheets in portrait mode. A positive number causes information to print farther to the right. A negative number causes information to print farther to the left. The third number controls vertical positioning on partial sheets in landscape mode. A positive number causes information to print lower on the page. A negative number causes information to print higher on the page. The fourth number controls horizontal positioning on partial sheets in landscape mode. A positive number causes information to print farther to the right. A negative number causes information to print farther to the left. </li></ol>

NOTE: When printing Partial Sheets or Single Checks with HPLJ Printers, try printing one check at a time using the Envelope Tray w/Center Feed Options if the Manual Tray is not available or will not print a partial sheet of laser checks correctly.

The checks should print correctly if the following conditions are met:


 * The printer is correctly installed.
 * The correct settings (Check type, Printer, Check Source) in the Print Setup dialog box were selected.
 * Checks are feeding correctly into the printer.
