The Check Printing utility allows designated employees within your organization to print payroll related vouchers using a standard laser printer within your office. The payroll vouchers made available for printing are dependent upon the settings related to the respective payroll batch, but may include paper check and non-check vouchers (direct deposit advice slips) for regular scheduled payroll batches and specially created payroll batches (off-cycle batches).
Each time a payroll voucher is printed for a particular batch, the voucher is marked as printed, along with the date/time and the name of the user printing the voucher. (This provides an additional internal auditing control of your check printing practices and help ensure that duplicate copies of a check are not printed erroneously.) If applicable, when all paper vouchers have been printed for a batch, the utility will mark the batch as "Print Complete".
Note: Before using your local office printer to perform a payroll voucher print job, you should test your printer's ability to print checks. See Related Help Topic: Testing Your Printer's Ability to Print Paper Checks.
