You can use a standard sheet-fed printer to print out your personal checks. The advantage of this is that your checks will be easy to read, and less likely to be rejected or cashed for the wrong amount due to illegible handwriting. To do this, you will use a word processor to set up a form with text boxes to print on the check in the proper locations for the information you need to fill out.
Step 1
Measure the check with the ruler to determine the exact locations of the date, payee, amount, written amount, and memo fields on the check.

Line up the check against the paper guides for the next sheet of paper to be fed through the printer.

Print the check.
Step 8
