Xero check in middle format from Checkomatic places the check 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 come pre-printed before the stock ships. When you run a payment batch through Xero, the software outputs payee, amount, date, and check number directly into the centered check fields. The MICR line is already on the paper in magnetic ink. Standard laser or inkjet toner handles the rest. Starting from $19.79 with 50 verified reviews.
Xero Compatible Checks in Middle: What Position Does Your Xero Configuration Use?
Xero's default check print layout is check-on-top for most standard configurations. The middle-position format is used when a Xero account has been configured to output check data to the center of the page rather than the top. This happens most often when businesses have migrated from another accounting platform that used the middle format, or when a Xero implementation has been customized by an accountant or bookkeeper who set up the print template differently.
If you've been loading check-on-top stock and getting misaligned prints with Xero, a format mismatch between your Xero print settings and your check paper is almost certainly the cause. Check your Xero print configuration before ordering. The setting will typically show as "check in middle" or "middle-position check" under the print options for bills or vendor payments. If it shows that, this is the stock you need. If it shows check-on-top, browse the Xero checks on top format instead.
Xero Check Printing in Middle Format: How the Two-Stub Layout Works
The middle-format layout gives you one stub above the check and one below. Both stubs record the same payment transaction simultaneously when Xero prints the check. The stub above typically goes to the payee as a remittance confirmation. The stub below stays in your records as an accounts payable or payroll log for that payment.
For businesses that need detail on both ends of the check, such as when a top copy needs to be retained internally before the check goes out, or when the payee requires a stub record attached to each payment, the middle format provides that automatically at print time without any extra steps. The two-stub documentation system is built into the layout.
The MICR line at the bottom of each check is already encoded in magnetic ink before the stock ships. Your standard office laser or inkjet printer handles only the variable output Xero generates: payee name, dollar amount, date, and check number. No MICR toner is required for the variable fields.
