How to Print on Blank Check Stock in NetSuite Using Custom PDF Layouts
Learn how to configure NetSuite to accurately print payment details onto blank, non-pre-printed check stock by customizing PDF layouts.
Short answer
To print on blank check stock in NetSuite, customize the NetSuite Check PDF Layout to precisely match the physical check stock. This process involves significant trial and error to align elements correctly. Once aligned, set the customized layout as preferred. Compatible check stock is also available from partners or third-party suppliers.
Scenario
An organization possesses blank, non-pre-printed check stock and needs to configure NetSuite to print all necessary payment information directly onto these checks. The challenge lies in ensuring accurate alignment of printed data with the physical layout of the blank check stock.
Solution
Customize the NetSuite Check PDF Layout
Access the Advanced PDF/HTML Templates in NetSuite and modify the standard check layout to precisely match the dimensions and component placement of the blank check stock. This often requires extensive trial and error to achieve exact alignment of elements such as payee name, amount, date, and signature lines.
Perform Alignment Testing
Obtain a sample of the blank check stock. Print a test check using the customized PDF layout onto a standard sheet of paper. Overlay the printed paper onto the physical check stock to visually verify that all information aligns correctly with the check's components. Repeat this process, adjusting the PDF layout as needed, until perfect alignment is achieved.
Set as Preferred Layout
Once the customized PDF layout accurately prints on the blank check stock, set this layout as the preferred check template within NetSuite.
Consider Third-Party Check Stock
Alternatively, organizations may opt to purchase compatible check stock available from partners or third-party suppliers, which are often designed for easier integration with NetSuite's standard printing capabilities.
