Page Comparison

Before you print on your real checks (Cheques in Canada), use the sample checks from your Quicken package to make a test print. Then, adjust the text alignment as necessary.

...

• If you have a page-oriented printer, print sample checks on plain paper. Print a sample and then place it on top of a real check. Hold both up to the light to see if the text printed correctly. Printing samples on blank paper saves checks.
• Use the alignment grid on the test printout to measure how far to move the text. One square on the grid corresponds to 10 units or one character. If you're not sure whether to increase or decrease the numbers, use the DOWN ARROW key to move the text down or left. Use the RIGHT ARROW key to move the text up or to the right.
• If Quicken does not print the alignment grid, you can estimate the number to enter by 1/100ths of an inch.
• You may need different values when printing partial pages. Align full and partial sheets of checks separately. Quicken remembers the alignment settings for each page type.
• If there is an alignment issue with wallet checks, change the check style to Wallet checks or Wallet checks (Check 21). 
  • Go to File > Printer Setup > For Printing Checks and in the Check style section, select Wallet checks or Wallet checks (Check 21) from the dropdown. Please note, you may need to scroll down in the dropdown to see these options.
