Cheques in BYTE: print on your own bank leaf
Print the cheques you issue on the bank leaves you already hold. Measure each bank account's layout once, test it on plain paper, and record post-dated cheques against the bills and invoices they settle.
Last updated: 2 November 2026
What it covers
- A cheque layout for each bank account: the cheque's size, and where each field sits, measured from the leaf's corner.
- A test print on plain paper before you use a leaf. A test needs no payee or account.
- Single-cheque printing, one cheque at a time, for the cheques you issue while each is marked issued.
- Amount in words, in Arabic or English for each layout, with the currency named.
- Long payee names and figures are fitted to their boxes.
- Post-dated cheques in sales and purchases, with their due dates. One cheque can settle several bills or invoices.
How it works
- Set up a layout for each bank account once: measure the leaf and mark where each field sits.
- Run a test print on plain paper and hold it over a bank leaf until the fields line up.
- Issue a cheque in BYTE and print it on the next leaf. The leaf number is fixed when it prints.
- For a post-dated cheque, record its due date and the bills or invoices it settles.
