What Prints on a Check Voucher?

Voucher style checks print three sections: the check itself, and two copies of details about the check. These details sections don’t print the same for all check types.

There is a top-line that will always be the date on the check and the name of the Payee.

There is a bottom line that will always be the account that the check is paid from and the total amount paid.

The table in the middle of the voucher displays different data based on what the check is for and whether it is from an operating account or a trust account, see below for a breakdown of what prints when.
