Laser checks on bottom from Checkomatic are laser computer business checks with the check area positioned at the base of a standard 8.5" x 11" sheet and two perforated voucher stubs running above it. This is the required format for DacEasy, agFinance, agPayroll, Countryside Data, and Sage MAS 90, which all output check data to the lower section of the page by default. Your company name, bank name, routing number, and account number are pre-printed before the stock ships. MICR line already on the paper in magnetic ink. Free black and white logo printing on every order.
What Are Laser Business Checks on Bottom and Which Software Uses This Format?
Laser business checks in the bottom position print the check in the lower third of the page. Two detachable stubs sit above it. When you run a payment batch through your accounting software, the check data lands in the lower section where the fields sit. The stubs above record the transaction, one for the payee and one for your accounts payable or payroll files.
Not every accounting platform uses the bottom position. This format is specifically required when your software defaults to outputting check data below the midpoint of the page. DacEasy Accounting, agFinance, agPayroll, Countryside Data, and Sage MAS 90 are the platforms most commonly paired with bottom-format laser checks. If you've recently switched to one of these from a QuickBooks setup and your current top-format checks are misaligning on every run, a format mismatch is almost certainly the cause.
For the top-format used by QuickBooks and most other mainstream platforms, browse business checks on top. For the middle format used by Sage 50 and Peachtree, browse business checks in the middle. For the full range of laser business check formats, browse laser checks.
How to Print Laser Checks on Bottom Format Without Alignment Issues
Laser check printing on bottom-format stock requires three settings to be correct before your first run. Page size set to Letter (8.5" x 11"), not A4. Page scaling set to 100% with no fit-to-page adjustment active. And bottom-format check stock loaded in the tray rather than top or middle stock.
Most alignment issues on laser check printing come from one of those three settings being off rather than from a problem with the stock or the software. Run your first test on plain white paper before loading the actual check stock. If the test output lands in the right positions on the page, the stock will print correctly. If it's off by a fraction, your accounting software has a check alignment tool in the print settings that adjusts in small increments without wasting check paper.
The MICR line at the bottom of the check, which carries your routing and account number in magnetic ink for bank processing, is already on the paper before it ships. Your laser or inkjet printer handles only the variable output your software generates: payee name, dollar amount, date, check number, and memo. No MICR toner required. Standard toner covers everything your printer is responsible for.
