Under Print format, select Print transaction detail sheet or Total per check printing.

For detail sheets, you can select to have all transactions appear on the detail sheet, regardless of the number of transactions paid by the check, or you can select to have the transactions print on the check stub with additional transactions on the detail sheet.
-
If you select Total per check printing, the transactions print on the check stub and the check is printed for that amount. If a vendor has too many transactions to fit on the check stub, additional checks print based on the number of remaining transactions.
Note: The number of transactions that prints on the check stub depends on the check format. Single stub formats can fit 35 transactions. Double stub blank paper can fit 11 transactions. Double stub pre-printed can fit 15 transactions before printing additional checks.

-
Before saving your settings, select Test check to print a check with the defined settings. This helps to make sure checks are formatted and aligned correctly before your actual check run.
