A computer check is a laser or inkjet-printed business check. Instead of writing the payee, amount, and date by hand, your accounting software fills those fields in automatically when you run a print job. The check stock arrives pre-printed with your company name, bank details, and logo. You load the paper, print, sign, and mail.
Checkomatic has manufactured computer checks from Monroe, NY since 1997. Four formats available. Free logo printing on every order. Compatible with QuickBooks, Xero, Sage, Quicken, and over 500 other accounting platforms. Every check exceeds ABA (American Bankers Association) specifications and clears at all major US banks.
What Is a Computer Check?
A computer check is a pre-printed check sheet designed to be completed by accounting software rather than by hand. The paper already carries your static information: company name, address, bank name, routing number, and account number. When you run a check print job, your software prints the variable details onto the form.
The result is a professionally printed, accurate, ready-to-sign check that takes seconds to produce per payment. Compared to handwritten checks, computer checks reduce entry errors, create cleaner AP records, and look more professional to the vendors and employees receiving them.
Computer Check Formats for Business
Four layouts cover the most common business check printing setups. The right format depends on which template your accounting software is configured to use.
Check on Top (Voucher Format)
The check on top is the most widely used computer check format. The check prints at the top of a standard 8.5 x 11 inch sheet. Two perforated stubs sit below it. One stub goes to the vendor or employee with the payment as their confirmation. The other stays in your AP records.
This format matches the default template in QuickBooks, Xero, and most major accounting platforms. If you are not sure which format your software uses, this is almost certainly it.
Check in Middle
The check in middle centers the check on the page with one stub above and one below. Used for Deltek users and specific Sage 50 configurations that require equal stub space on both ends of the sheet. Less common than check on top but a specific requirement for certain AP workflows.
Check on Bottom
The check on bottom puts the check at the foot of the page with two stubs above it. Payroll departments often prefer this layout because the stub detail is the first thing the recipient sees when opening the envelope. The payment breakdown is visible before the check itself.
3-on-a-Page Computer Checks
3-on-a-page checks print three separate checks on one 8.5 x 11 inch sheet with no stubs. All transaction records stay inside your accounting software. This format produces the lowest cost per check and the least paper waste for high-volume AP operations that do not need a physical stub record traveling with each payment.
Custom Computer Checks With Logo
Every computer check order from Checkomatic includes free black and white logo printing. You submit your logo file at checkout and it prints on every check in the batch. No setup charge. Full-color logo printing is available for a small additional fee.
Custom checks with your logo look more professional than generic bank-issued checks. They reinforce your business identity on every payment your company sends. Vendors and employees notice. It is a small thing that signals a professional operation.
Beyond the logo:
- 20 background color and design options across diamond, marble, and prismatic textures
- Colors including blue, burgundy, gold, green, brown, green-blue, and blue-red
- Additional signature lines for businesses requiring dual authorization
- Starting check number set by you at checkout

Computer Checks vs Manual Business Checks
Computer checks are printed by your accounting software. They require a laser or inkjet printer and a software setup, but they eliminate hand-entry errors, print faster on high-volume runs, and produce cleaner records.
Manual business checks are handwritten. No printer, no software, no alignment testing. They suit businesses that write occasional checks, prefer traditional bookkeeping, or operate in settings where a printer is not practical. For handwritten check options, see our manual business checks page.
If you want the flexibility of printing the MICR line yourself across multiple accounts, our blank check stock is available in all four formats.
Security Features on Every Computer Check
Every computer check includes fraud protection built into the paper:
- Microprinting along the signature line that blurs on any photocopy
- Heat-sensitive ink that disappears when the check surface is warmed
- Chemical-reactive paper that stains when exposed to bleach, acetone, or solvent
- Void pantograph that shows VOID on any copy
- True watermark visible from both sides when held to light
- Coin-reactive ink embedded in the stock
All features exceed ABA specifications. Accepted at Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Capital One, Citibank, TD Bank, and all major US banks.
