= SUMMARY =

This article contains information about how you can select the correct check type to print your checks properly in Microsoft Money.

= MORE INFORMATION =

The first time you print checks, Money compares the check type selected with the printer specified in Print Setup. If your check type and printer type do not match (for example, if you use standard as the check type while you print to a laser printer), you receive one of the following messages in the Select Check Type dialog box.

If you are running Money 4.0 for Windows 95, you receive the following message:

What type of checks will you print?

If you are running Money version 2.0, 2.0a, or 3.0, you receive the following message:

Before printing, please make sure the correct check type is selected below.

Although the Select Check Type dialog box displays the standard check type by default, you can select any of Money’s check types from this dialog box.

NOTE: After you print checks for the first time, Money will no longer prompt you with this dialog box.

The following are the different check types available for each type of printer.

Dot Matrix Laser/Ink Jets ———- ————–

Wallet Laser Wallet Standard (default) Laser Standard (default for Money 4.0) Voucher Laser Voucher

To change the check type in Money

 * 1) On the File menu, click Print Setup.
 * 2) In the Print Setup dialog box, click Check Printing.
 * 3) In the Check Type box, choose the correct check type. Click OK.

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.
