The Check Printing utility allows designated employees within your organization to instantly print pay checks and vouchers using a standard laser printer in your office.
To create paper checks, which can be presented by your employees to their bank for payment, you must use special blank check stock paper authorized by ExponentHR for use with our system. In addition, a special MICR toner cartridge must be installed in your laser printer.
It is required to have the checks properly aligned to have the MICR line appear in the designated blank area at the bottom of all the checks. To ensure proper alignment, be sure to turn off all Scaling, Shrinking, or ”Fit to Page” options in the printer settings when choosing to send the selected PDF batch to your printer.
