Setting Check Printing Preferences
You set check printing preferences on the Printing & Fax Preferences page.
Check printing preferences, including the Default Check Type, only apply to basic printing layouts. If you have the Administrator role, you can use advanced printing layouts to customize your printed forms. You do this with Advanced PDF/HTML templates. For more information, see Advanced PDF/HTML Templates.
To set check printing preferences:
-
Go to Setup > Company > Preferences > Printing & Fax.
-
Click the Printing subtab.
-
Under Check Printing, in the Default Check Type field, choose from two types of checks:
-
Standard – printed without a voucher, three checks per 8.5 x 11 inch sheet.
-
Voucher – printed at the top of an 8.5 x 11 inch sheet with voucher information printed at the bottom, one check per sheet.
If you use voucher checks, you can print a maximum of 19 line items on each check. If you have more than 19 line items for a single check, the items do not appear on the voucher.
You must print the check at the top. NetSuite does not support printing checks in the middle of the page.
Note:When customizing a check form PDF layout, you see only the check, no vouchers, regardless of your check type preference. Even if you change the page size, the elements you can select to add or edit are only the standard check elements. For information about customizing check layouts, see Customizing Transaction Form PDF Layouts.

-
Select a font style in the Check Font field.
Note:The preferences in steps 3 and 4 do not affect the layout of elements on the check form.
-
Select a font size in the Check Font Size field.
-
Click Save.
If your organization uses basic printing, you can configure a different check template for each subsidiary. For information, see Specifying Check Layout by Subsidiary.
Adjusting Check Printing Position
If you need to adjust the printing position for the text on the check form, go to Home > Set Preferences. On the Transaction subtab in the Printing sections, adjust the values in the Horizontal and Vertical Print Offset fields. Adjusting the values on the Set Preferences page affects all checks you print.
Automatic scaling, set in the Page Handling section of the Print window, can also cause difficulties when printing checks. Make sure that Page Scaling is set to None, and the boxes beneath it are not checked in the Print window.
