Getting ready to print
Once you have your checks, it's easy to get set up in Money. (Note that changing the printer settings in Money doesn't affect your printer settings in any other program on your computer.)
  1. On the File menu, point to Print Setup, and then click Check Setup.
  2. In the Printer box, click the printer you want to use.
  3. Under Check, select the type and source.
  4. If you want the payee address on all your checks, select the Require address for payee when printing checks check box.
  5. Click OK.
See Money Help to learn how to load blank checks in your printer.

Printing your checks
When you're ready to pay your bills, follow these instructions to print your checks:

  1. On the Accounts & Bills menu, click Account List.
  2. Click the account that contains the checks you want to print.
  3. Enter a new transaction or edit an existing one.
  4. In the Number box, click Print this transaction, and then click Enter.
  5. Do the same for all transactions you want to print.
  6. In the left pane, click Print checks.
  7. Set the options you want, and then click Print.
Money offers several options for customizing your checks. For example, you can choose to list the payee's address on the check, and then use window envelopes (also available through Money Checks and Supplies) to make sending payments a snap. For more information about printing checks in Money, open Money Help, and type "print checks" in the Ask Money box.

Print your payee's address on checks
Printing the payee's address on your check makes it easy to send the check in the mail. If you have window envelopes (also available through Money Checks and Supplies), the address will show, so all you need to do is stamp the envelope and put it in the mail.

  1. Go to the Manage scheduled bills and deposits page. (On the Accounts & Bills menu, click Bills & Deposits List.)
  2. Select the transaction you want to print a check for.
  3. In the left pane, point to See payee details, and then click the payee you want. If you haven't entered the payee address before, enter it now. The payee's address will automatically print on all checks you print for them.
  4. Click Back to return to the Pay bills page.
  5. In the left pane, click Print checks, and then follow the instructions on the screen.
Entering transaction information you don't want printed on checks
There are times when you want information recorded in a transaction that wouldn't be appropriate printed on a check. For example, if you're writing a check to a brokerage firm called Stockpile Brokerage to buy some Widget stock, you wouldn't want Widget stock listed on the Payee line of your checks, but you would want it in your Money file so you can identify it later.

To record information in a transaction that you don't want printed on checks, type the information in curly brackets {}. For example, to prevent Widget stock from being printed on checks, you would type Stockpile Brokerage {Widget stock}.

Wallet Checks

The wallet style is the most popular check. You can print it on the computer or keep it handy in your wallet.

Both laser and continuous checks have detachable stubs, which you can use to track tax-deductible expenses or any other information you choose.

Available in four color choices:

  • check color chipBlue
  • check color chipGreen
  • check color chipRegal* (laser only)
