Laser Check in Middle
Laser check in middle from Checkomatic is a secure, QuickBooks-ready business check in the CITM format: the check sits in the center of a standard 8.5" x 11" sheet with one perforated stub above and one below. Your company name, bank name, routing number, and account number are pre-printed on every sheet before it ships. Your accounting software outputs the payee, amount, date, and check number to the center check fields at print time. The MICR line is already on the paper in magnetic ink. No MICR toner required. Starting from $19.79 with 28 verified reviews.
What Is the Laser Check in Middle Format and Which Software Uses It?
The check-in-middle format positions the check in the center section of the sheet. One stub sits above the check and one stub below. Both stubs record the same payment transaction when your software prints the sheet. The stub above typically stays in your accounts payable or payroll file as an internal record. The stub below accompanies the check or goes to the payee as a payment remittance.
Sage 50, Sage 100, and Peachtree Accounting default to the middle-position check format in most configurations. QuickBooks can also be configured to output to the middle position, though its default is check-on-top. The CITM 649 format designation, widely used in Sage's documentation and ordering systems, refers specifically to this center-positioned single-check-per-page layout. If your software documentation or an existing order confirmation references CITM or CITM 649, this is the correct stock.
If your software outputs to the top of the page, browse laser checks on top instead. For the bottom-position format used by DacEasy, agFinance, and other platforms, browse laser checks on bottom. For the no-stub 3-per-page format, browse laser checks 3 on a page.
Laser Checks in Middle: How to Confirm Your Print Position Before Ordering
The fastest way to confirm which format your software uses is a test print on plain white paper. Load a blank sheet, run one check through your accounting software's print function, and look at where the payment data lands on the page. If it lands in the center section with space above and below, you need the middle format. If it lands at the top, you need top-format stock.
Mismatched check stock is the most common reason check printing goes wrong. Top-format stock loaded into a software configured for middle output will print every check with the payee name, dollar amount, and MICR line all shifted to the wrong positions on the sheet. A test print on plain paper costs nothing and confirms the format before you commit to a check stock order.
Once you confirm the middle position is correct, the setup is straightforward. Page size must be Letter (8.5" x 11") in both your software and your printer properties. Page scaling must be at 100%. Load the CITM stock in the paper tray and run the batch. The pre-printed MICR line, your company name, and your bank details are already on the sheet. Your printer handles only the variable payment output your software generates.
