Prep Your Printer: Follow the on-screen instructions. Make sure you load current-year SBTPG check stock into your printer. Then, click the Print a test check button to proceed.
Print Test Check: A PDF with a sample check pops up in a new tab. Now, print it!
Chrome: Make sure Fit to paper is NOT checked and Print on both sides is unchecked.
Internet Explorer or Adobe Acrobat Reader: Choose the Actual size button.
Confirm Test Check: Did it print okay? If not, reprint!
Return to Main Page: If the test check looks good, click Yes to go back to the main check printing page.
Printing Actual Checks
Alright, let's print those checks for your clients!
Print New Checks: On the main check printing page, click Print new checks. Did you know? The number of checks waiting to be printed shows up as a red bubble next to the Check Printing menu item!
Select Pending Checks: On the pending checks screen, check the box to the left of each check you want to print. Once you select a check, the Print Selected Checks button will appear.
Enter Starting Check Number: When asked, type in the starting check number from the check stock in your printer. Hint: You'll find the starting check number at the top-right of the cashier's check.
Confirm Check Layout: Double-check the check layout version on the check stock. This makes sure you're using the right check stock for the current year.
Print Checks: Click the Print Selected Checks button. A PDF should pop up, so make sure your pop-up blocker is turned off! Review the info on the checks, then click the Print button in the PDF viewer.
Final Confirmation: After printing, you'll see a confirmation message with a link to the printed PDF.
If you closed the PDF by accident, click Reopen PDF to print again.
If everything printed perfectly, click Done.
