Hi Does anyone know how to use the cheque printing facility on Sage 50 Professional. Ideally we would like a separate printer. We have also called Sage and they have not been helpful
Hi, this is taken from our online knowledgebase. Hope its useful. Keith
Note: The date printed on the cheque is the date entered on the payment.
Open the Bank module, select the bank account for which you want to print cheques then click Cheques.
To view the transactions from a certain date range, select the Date Range check box, then in the From and To boxes enter the required date range.
In the Starting Cheque Number box, enter the starting cheque number. For example, the first cheque number on your printed stationery. This number is added to the transaction when you print your cheques.
Tip: To include cheques that have already been printed, select the Show Printed Items check box.
From the list of cheques, select the transactions for which you want to print cheques then from the Print Cheques window, click Print.
From the Cheque Layouts window select the required layout, ensure the output is set to Printer then click Run.
If the cheques have printed correctly, click Yes.
If the cheques have not printed correctly, click No.
Tip: When a cheque is printed it is allocated a cheque number, this is entered automatically in the Ref. field of the transaction. If you say no it will give you a preview of the cheque which can be printed but the Ref. field is not updated.
To close the Cheque Layouts window and return to the Print Cheques window, click Close.
To close the Print Cheques window and return to the Bank Accounts window, click Close.
Note: If your remittance note spans over more than one page, only the final page contains the printed cheque.
When a cheque is printed it is allocated a cheque number, this is entered automatically in the Ref. field of the transaction. If a tick is entered in the Show Printed Items check box, the printed cheques appear in a different colour in the Print Cheques window, the cheque number appears in the Cheque column and Y appears in the Prn column.
You have now successfully printed your cheques. If you want to remove cheques which have been printed correctly and You do not want to reprint, please refer to the following section.
Ok so copy an paste clearly doesn't work on an iPhone :)
I'll copy and paste from my laptop at the earliest opportunity. Should make it easier to follow.
