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