7.4.3 Check Print
Previous Topic  Next Topic 

The Check Print program will print the checks for the Vendors who are selected to be paid. Only those Payable selected will be paid.


The Printer Number will default to the printer set up in "Port Entry" in POINT OF SALE (1.1 field 8) under "AP Check Printer."


It is now time to Load the Checks in the Printer.  The prompt will tell you which checks should be loaded in the printer. Put the correct checks into the printer.


Check Alignment - If you are using Perfection Software standard checks and printing on an Okidata printer, the tops of the check (remittance) is lined up at the tear cover of the printer.


The Beginning Check Number will be displayed since the last check print.


You do not need to enter the Bank Number since the system is set up with the Accounts Payable Bank Account in "Location Entry" in SYSTEM MANAGEMENT  (10.2.5.1).


The Check Date default will be the system date. To change the date, just type over the default date.


If a Miscellaneous Vendor was chosen in the payment selection you can put in the name and address to print on the check. You have three lines available to print on the check. Enter the name and address to print on the check for the Misc. Vendor and press <ENTER>. If no Misc. Vendor was selected, just press <ENTER> at this prompt.


Enter <Y> for a Check Alignment Test, and press <ENTER>. The first check will be printed. After the alignment test, you may print the remaining checks. The first check will not be reprinted. If you do not want a check alignment test, enter an <N> and press <ENTER> at this prompt.


During the check alignment, you might have ruined some checks. You may Void those Check Numbers and keep an audit trail. Enter the checks to void, separated by commas, and press <ENTER>. Example 100,101,102 will void checks 100-102. To not void any checks, just press <ENTER>.


If you print checks and the printer jams up, you may print that check again. Simply start the check print program again with the correct check number. You can reprint checks as many times as you need without having to void.  Once the checks are posted, you would then have to void and start over if the checks were not correct.


If you get a message that the check number is already used when trying to reprint checks, you may have to do the following command at TCL. Type CLEAR-FILE CHECK, IN.PROCESS. This will clear out any in-process check numbers and allow you to continue.
