Modify Check Margins

If your checks do not align properly with your check stock when printed, you can adjust the top and left check margins.

To modify check margins:

  1. In the Navigation pane, select Payroll > Payroll Payments.
  2. In the Payment run search on the Payroll Payments form, select a payment run with a status of Printing, Printed, or Assigned.
    This form also displays immediately after checks are processed.
  3. On the Actions Bar, click Other Actions > Payment Margin.
  4. On the Payment Margin dialog box, set the Unit of Measure option to Inches or Millimeters.
    When you switch from one unit of measure to the other, the measurements that are currently entered or displayed in the measurement field automatically convert to the new unit of measure.

    (1 inch = 25.4 millimeters)

  5. Enter margins in the Top and Left fields or click Default to use the default margins.
  6. Click Close.
