[GNC] Check printing

[R. Victor Klassen]

That would depend upon the number you’re doing in a given period. 

I have payroll output to QIF which when imported gives me the stub I need.  And it fits the window envelope just fine.  

I would hate to have to edit each and every cheque.

I am thinking of the general case, say printing payroll checks which may be required to come attached to a "stub" << statement for the employee showing all deductions, etc. >> and if to be mailed, when folded, the address must show properly in the envelope window.

Much easier than trying to make the change in the application writing the checks or madly dashing around trying to find a supplier of envelopes with the window in the old position. This is one of the things I used to have to deal with, an emergency call from the department doing the printing, folding, envelope stuffing that all of a sudden the address out of window.
