Checks preferences
These preferences control how QuickBooks behaves when you write and print checks. The selections you make
affect the current company file.
1 Choose QuickBooks > Preferences.
2 On the Preferences pane, select Checks.
3 Set the preferences described below.
4 Close the Preferences pane.
• Print account names on vouchers. Prints the following information on the voucher portion of each check:
o Payee
o Date
o Account name (first 16 lines). Exception: QuickBooks prints the name of the inventory item on checks for
inventory purchases.
o Memo (first 16 lines)
o Amount (first 16 lines)
o Total amount
When this preference is off, QuickBooks omits the account (or item) names but prints all of the other
information listed above.
• Change check date when check is printed. Changes the date on a check to today's date when you print the
check.
Example
You write a check on March 15, but do not print it yet.
The date on the check is March 15.
You print the check on March 20.
Now the date on the check is March 20.
When this preference is off, QuickBooks retains the date you wrote the check.
• Start with payee field on check. Positions the text cursor so that the name of the payee is the first item you
enter when you write a check, enter a bill, or enter a credit card charge.
