Which cheque stock does it work with?
QuickBooks-style voucher cheques on Letter paper: one cheque on top and two stubs below on a single 8.5 × 11 sheet. Positions are set by the alignment screen, so slight differences between suppliers are handled by calibration. Three-cheques-per-page stock without stubs is not supported yet.
Will it line up with my cheques straight away?
No, and no honest cheque program can promise that. The starting positions follow typical voucher stock, but every printer and paper path is a little different. You calibrate once with the test page (about ten minutes) and the result is saved. We check the printed positions in software against a PDF renderer, but we cannot test your printer, so always print a sample on a spare sheet first.
What does it print, and what does it leave alone?
It prints the date, payee, amount in figures and in words, memo, optional payee address, and invoice lines on both stubs. It never prints the cheque number (it is pre-printed on your stock), MICR line, bank details, boxes, labels or signature. The alignment test page is the one exception: it draws light grey guides on purpose, for calibration.
What happens after the 30-day trial?
You can still open the register, reports, exports and backups, so your data is never held hostage. Printing and importing are switched off until you activate a licence.
Where is my data stored? Is it uploaded?
In your browser on your computer. Nothing is uploaded and the app loads nothing from other sites. Because of that, clearing your browser's site data erases it: make a backup regularly (Settings & backup), optionally encrypted with a password, and keep a copy elsewhere.
Do I have to be online?
Only to open the page the first time, to buy, and to activate if you like. You can also download the app as a single file and open it from your computer with no internet at all.
Can I move the licence to another computer?
A key works for the one Install ID it was made for, which is this browser on this computer. If you replace the computer or change browser, send us your old and new Install IDs and we will issue a replacement key.
Does it connect to QuickBooks?
No. It does not read or change your QuickBooks file. You enter the cheque in QuickBooks as usual with the same number, date and amount; the Register screen exports a CSV to help you reconcile.
What are its limits today?
It is browser software, so it prints through a PDF that you print at Actual size from your PDF viewer; it does not drive the printer directly. Only Western-European characters can be printed (others are flagged before printing). The positive-pay export is a generic CSV, so ask your bank for their exact format. The licence check runs inside the browser and is meant to keep honest users honest. QuickBooks is a trademark of Intuit; 4C Digital is not affiliated with or endorsed by Intuit.
Can you supply the pre-printed cheques too?
Yes, 4C Digital also prints cheques. See our cheque reorder page.
