Xero checks on top from Checkomatic are voucher-format business checks pre-formatted for Xero accounting software. The check prints at the top of a standard 8.5" x 11" sheet with two perforated stubs 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 the payee, amount, date, and check number into the check fields. The MICR line is already on the paper in magnetic ink. No MICR toner required. Starting from $19.79 with 50 verified reviews.
Xero Compatible Checks: What the Check-on-Top Format Does for Your AP Workflow
The check-on-top layout is the standard voucher check format used across most accounting platforms. The check sits in the upper third of the sheet. Two detachable stubs occupy the lower two-thirds. One stub goes to the payee as a payment remittance record. The other stays in your files as your accounts payable or payroll log for that payment cycle.
Xero's check printing function outputs payment data to this position by default. When you print from Xero, the payee name, dollar amount, date, and check number land in the upper check fields exactly where the pre-formatted stock expects them. You load the paper, run the print batch, and the checks come out clean, professional, and bank-ready without any alignment adjustments.
The MICR line at the bottom of each check, the magnetic strip that carries your routing and account numbers for bank processing, is already encoded before the stock ships. Your standard office laser or inkjet printer handles the variable payment output. No special printer hardware required.
Xero Print Checks: Setup, Alignment, and What to Confirm Before Your First Run
Three settings need to be correct before your first Xero print run. Page size must be set to Letter (8.5" x 11") in both your Xero print settings and your printer properties. Page scaling must be at 100% with no fit-to-page adjustment active. And the check format selected in Xero must match the check-on-top stock you're loading.
If Xero has been configured for a different check position, such as check-in-middle for Sage or check-on-bottom for DacEasy, and you've loaded top-format stock, nothing will align. Check your Xero print settings before ordering. Xero also has a built-in check alignment tool in its print settings that lets you make small adjustments in fractions of an inch without wasting full check sheets on testing.
For other Xero check formats, browse Xero checks in the middle, Xero checks on bottom, and Xero checks 3 on a page. All four formats are available in the Xero checks category.
