Computer checks are laser-printed business checks that your accounting software fills in at print time. Your company name, bank details, and logo come pre-printed on the paper. When you run a print job from QuickBooks, Xero, or another platform, the software adds the payee, amount, date, and check number automatically. You sign and mail.
Checkomatic has manufactured computer checks from Monroe, NY since 1997. Free logo printing on every order. Four formats in stock. Compatible with QuickBooks, Xero, Sage, Quicken, and over 500 accounting platforms. Every check exceeds ABA standards and clears at all major US banks.
What Are Computer Checks?
A computer check is pre-printed check stock built to work with accounting software. The static information, your business name, bank name, routing number, and account number, is printed on the paper before it ships. Your accounting software handles the rest at print time.
The result: a professionally printed, signed, ready-to-mail check in seconds. No handwriting. No manual amount calculations. No risk of writing the wrong payee on the wrong check.
Computer checks are also called laser checks, computer printed checks, or computer printable checks. They are the same thing. The name refers to how they are completed, by computer rather than by hand.
What Is a Computer Check Used For?
Any payment a business makes by check can be printed as a computer check:
- Vendor and supplier payments through your AP module
- Payroll checks for employees
- Contractor and freelancer payments
- Owner distributions and partnership draws
- Refunds, deposits, and one-off payments
If your business currently writes these by hand and then types the same information into your accounting software as a separate step, computer checks eliminate that duplication entirely.
Computer Check Formats: Four Options
The right format is whichever one your accounting software template is set to print. Check your print settings before ordering.
Check on Top (Voucher Format)
Check on top is the default for QuickBooks, Xero, and most other accounting platforms. The check prints at the top of an 8.5 x 11 inch sheet. Two perforated stubs sit below for AP record keeping. One stub goes to the payee. The other stays in your files.
Check in Middle
Check in middle centers the check on the page with one stub above and one below. Standard for Deltek users and certain Sage 50 configurations.
Check on Bottom
Check on bottom puts the check at the foot of the page with both stubs sitting above it. Common in payroll workflows because employees see their pay detail first when they open the envelope.
3-on-a-Page Computer Checks
3-on-a-page prints three checks per sheet with no stubs. All records stay inside your accounting software. Lowest cost per check. Used by high-volume AP departments and payroll firms running multiple client accounts.
Custom Computer Checks With Logo: Free on Every Order
Every Checkomatic computer check order includes free black and white logo printing. Submit your logo at checkout and it prints on every check in the batch. No setup fee. No separate design charge.
Full-color logo printing is available for a small additional fee if your brand requires color.
This is worth calling out clearly because most competitors charge for logo customization. At Checkomatic it has always been included.
Other customization available on every order:
- 20 background color and design options across diamond, marble, and prismatic styles
- Colors including blue, burgundy, gold, green, brown, green-blue, and blue-red
- Additional signature lines for dual-authorization AP workflows
- Starting check number set by you at checkout
Computer Checks vs a Checkbook: What Is the Difference?
A checkbook holds handwritten personal-size checks in a small bound book. You fill in every field by hand. No printer needed.
Computer printable checks are full 8.5 x 11 inch laser sheets completed by your accounting software through a printer. They are not a checkbook format. They suit any business running regular AP or payroll and wanting a faster, more accurate check process.
For businesses that prefer handwritten checks or write them infrequently, our manual business checks cover every handwritten format from accounts payable to payroll to pocket-size.
Software Compatibility
Our computer printed checks work with:
- QuickBooks Desktop and QuickBooks Online (all versions)
- Xero (all versions)
- Quicken Home and Business, Premier, and Deluxe

- Deltek

- Microsoft Dynamics GP, Wave, FreshBooks, NetSuite, and hundreds more
For a complete list, see our accounting software compatible checks page. Not listed? Contact us. We custom format check stock to any template at no extra charge.
Security Features on Every Computer Check
Every check includes protection built into the paper itself:
- Microprinting along the signature line that blurs on any photocopy
- Heat-sensitive ink that vanishes when the check surface is warmed
- Chemical-reactive paper that stains when exposed to bleach or solvent
- Void pantograph that shows VOID on any copy of the check
- True watermark visible from both sides when held to light
- Coin-reactive ink embedded in the stock
All six features exceed ABA specifications. Accepted at Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Capital One, Citibank, TD Bank, and all major US banks.
Pair your checks with double-window check envelopes that fit all four formats. Add business deposit slips to the same order if needed.
