I don't believe so. So far, I can't even get it to print anything in the
Memo field on the check. The check printing stuff really needs some
work, but it's low priority for the developers. Personally, I would like
to at least be able to save my custom format, so I don't have to type in
10 numbers for every &*$#*@! check, but when I asked about this, I was
told that it would require mods in three different source files,
including at least one in Scheme, a language I don't know, or I might
have taken a crack at doing it myself.

Also, be aware that simply printing the routing information is not good
enough. You have to be using a printer with special magnetic ink. I got
burned by this after I had already bought $100 worth of blank check
forms for VersaCheck. I then found out about the requirement for
magnetic ink. Without the magnetic ink, the machines at the bank can't
scan the routing info and they won't take the check.
