Computer check in middle is a pre-printed business computer check formatted with the check centered on an 8.5 by 11 inch sheet, one perforated stub above the check and one perforated stub below it. Your company name, bank name, routing number, account number, and logo are printed before the order ships. When you run a check batch from your accounting software, the payee name, dollar amount, date, and check number populate the centered check area automatically. Manufactured in Monroe, NY since 1997, every check is accepted at all major US banks and meets ABA standards.
What Are Business Computer Checks in Middle Format and How Do They Differ?
Most accounting software defaults to the check-on-top layout, where the check prints at the top of the sheet with both stubs below it. The check-in-middle layout reverses that distribution: one stub runs above the check and one runs below. This gives equal stub space on both sides of the check rather than concentrating all record-keeping space below.
The practical difference matters when your AP workflow files or presents stubs in a specific way. Some operations prefer to have a stub above the check because the upper section of the sheet is the first thing visible when a document is filed or reviewed. The centered check sits naturally in the middle of the page, which some businesses find cleaner for high-volume filing systems where the check and both stubs need to stay clearly distinct.
The check-in-middle format is also the default template for specific accounting platforms that do not use the standard check-on-top layout. If your software generates check print jobs mapped to a middle-format template, ordering any other format will produce misaligned output.
Which Accounting Software Uses the Computer Check in Middle Format?
Deltek is the primary platform that defaults to the check-in-middle layout for AP check printing. Deltek Vantagepoint, Deltek Costpoint, and Deltek GCS Premier all use this template. For dedicated Deltek compatible checks, including both pre-printed and blank options for the middle format, see the Deltek product page.
Certain Sage 50 configurations also use the middle format, as do some custom AP setups in Peachtree and legacy accounting systems that were configured before the check-on-top format became the industry standard. If you are setting up check printing for the first time or switching from a different check supplier, confirm which template your software uses in the print settings before placing your order.
For a complete list of software-specific check formats and which template each platform uses, see our accounting software compatible checks catalog.
Computer Check in Middle vs Other Business Computer Check Formats
The four pre-printed computer check formats cover every standard US business check printing template. Choosing the wrong format produces a misaligned check that cannot be used.
The computer check on top is the default for QuickBooks, Xero, and most accounting platforms. The check prints at the top, two stubs below. The most widely ordered business check format in the US.
The computer check on bottom positions the check at the foot of the sheet with two stubs above. Primarily used for payroll operations where the stub earnings detail is the first thing visible when the envelope is opened.
The computer checks 3-on-a-page print three separate checks per sheet with no stubs. Used for high-volume AP operations that keep records digitally and do not need a physical stub with each payment.
The computer check in middle, this product, is specifically for Deltek, some Sage 50 configurations, and any other platform that generates a centered check layout. If you are not certain which format you need, check your software's print settings or contact us before ordering.
