The information in this article applies to:

 Microsoft Money 98 == Microsoft Money versions 4.0, 4.0a, 5.0 for Windows 95 == 

= SYMPTOMS =

When you attempt to print continuous feed checks to an Epson ESC/P2 or Panasonic KXP-2023 printer, no text is printed. The printer only feeds a blank sheet of checks.

= WORKAROUND =

Print the checks using a non-ESC/P2 driver, such as the Epson LQ 850 or the Epson LQ 2500.

Make sure the driver is configured as an additional printer connected to the same port; do not replace the current driver. Choose this alternate driver for check printing. For other printing, such as Report and Chart Printing, use the ESC/P2 driver to access specific printer features and allow better printing performance.

To set a printer for check printing, follow these steps:


 * 1) On the File menu in Money, point to Print Setup and then click Check Setup.
 * 2) In the printer list, click the non-ESC/P2 printer.
 * 3) Select the correct Check Type and Source. Click OK.
