About check forms

You can purchase blank or pre-printed check forms from a variety of vendors for tractor feed and laser printers; however, we recommend Sage Construction and Real Estate Forms. Several check designs come pre-installed, which includes two and three part formats for both laser and tractor feed printers.

Businesses that use multiple checking accounts or operate more than one company may find blank forms more versatile than pre-printed forms. With blank forms, you can switch between companies or accounts without having to change check forms.

• When designing a check format, you can incorporate a company logo into the form. Using Form/Report Page Design, you can insert the bitmap file in the form design of the check.
• If your printer driver provides the ability to print multiple copies and you use a laser printer, you can make copies of checks by placing a blank page after every check form. Then in the Copies box, select two copies. When you print the checks, Sage 100 Contractor prints a duplicate of each check on blank paper.
• To use a tractor feed printer with your check forms, you need to indicate the form length in your Printer Setup dialog box.
• Most 2-part tractor feed check forms are 7 inches long. If your printer driver does not support the form length, you need to create a custom form length in the printer setup, obtain 11-inch check forms, or use a different printer driver.
• If the tractor feed printer is connected to a network, you need to set up the custom form length on each workstation that prints checks.
