I have the boss's signature on the computer. Is there a way to have the checks print with the signature?

Under the Maintain menu, choose Disbursement & JIB Options. Select the Checks tab. Notice the format that is chosen for your checks on the left side of the screen. *You can see this option under Edit > Preferences> Check Printing Preferences in the new versions of the software.*

Next, go to the Utilities menu > Owner Check Setup > then choose the appropriate format. When the format opens, you can maximize the screen. You will then notice a floating toolbar for the report designer. On this toolbar, will be a button which says OLE, and when the mouse is hovered over the button, the screen tip will display: Picture/Active X Bound Control.

Click this button, and then draw a square with the mouse/cross hairs. When the mouse is released, you'll see a Report Picture window. In this window click on the button with three dots to the right of the File field. This will allow you to browse to the location of the signature file on your computer.

Once you have chosen the file, click OK. You may then re-size the graphic on the check format, or move it to the desired location on your check face of the check format. When you have finished adding the signature file, and making any necessary edits, press Ctrl + W on your keyboard to save the format, and close the screen.

Then, you can print an example on blank paper from the Print Checks screen, and hold this up to the check stock to see if it's aligned correctly. Any adjustments can be made from the Utilities menu > Owner Check Setup > format. To move the location of the various fields on the check face, just click and drag the field to the desired location.
