AP/PAY: Check Specifications and Dimensions
You can use this information to assist local printers in designing a preprinted check form that may be used with WinTeam Software.
The checks that are produced may be used for Accounts Payable(AP) and Payroll(PR). If the same check stock is not going to be used for both, due to differing Bank Account Numbers, it is recommended that a label be pre-printed on the check for identification.
