On this Tab, you can select any combination of employees, cheques, and/or cheque dates. Once you have selected a cheque, the buttons at the bottom of the screen will activate.
If you have only selected one cheque, the Cheque Details will populate on the right-hand side of the screen. You can view but not edit the calculations.
Printing Cheques:
After you have created the cheques, you can print them from the Print/Modify Tab. Printing cheques is not necessary for posting cheque information to the employee’s records, therefore, this step is optional.
Cheques can be printed or reprinted until the Payroll Year is closed. Reprinting a cheque does not affect the employee records.
The cheques that have already been printed will have an asterisk after the cheque number.

You can verify the print alignment for your specific printer by printing a cheque onto a blank piece of printer paper. Then, hold a blank cheque underneath the printed cheque values to test the alignment. You may need to hold the two pieces up to some light to see it well.
If one or more cheques jam in your printer, you can reprint from the same PDF that you downloaded, or you can print from CheckMark Online Payroll (Canada) again to generate a new PDF with the same cheque numbers. If you use pre-printed cheque stock and need to assign a new cheque number to reprint, please see “Editing/Modifying Cheques” on page 78.
