Deposits > Deposit Screens > Check Printing Screen Group

Use the Deposits > Check Printing > Deposit Checks screen to print checks from your institution to customers with deposit interest or retirement accounts. You can print deposit checks for one account, for several accounts, or for all accounts at one time.

	Note: Before you can print checks, you must first set up the check format using the Deposits > Check Printing > Check Format Setup screen.

In order for check records to be printed from this screen, the account must have the following setup:

GOLDPoint Systems has assigned format 9 to all deposit account checks. A subtype can be used to have different check formats for maturity interest, retirement distributions, etc. Deposit check information is automatically added to the Check Reconciliation system, found in the CIM GOLD tree view under GOLD Services > Check Reconciliation. If checks are reprinted, a cross-reference number and sequence will be added to the record.

This screen can be used to do the following:

•View the status of check data (new or printed).

•Print a paper report of the checks in the printing process (right-click on the list view).

•Print all checks in a specific format at one time or select specific checks in a format.

•Reprint checks (due to paper jams, etc.).

•Delete checks.

•Send checks automatically to a third-party check reconciliation system after checks have been created and reconciled. (You must contact your GOLDPoint Systems Financial account specialist to get this set up.)

•Print logos, signatures, and MICR lines, allowing you to use blank check paper instead of pre-printed check stock.

See the following example of this screen.

Description

Check Retrieve Parameters field group

The fields in the Check Retrieve Parameters field group at the top of the screen are used to limit the checks shown in the list view below. Enter the Format and Status, then click <Retrieve> to view the checks you want. Each time you select a new format or status, you will need to retrieve the data.

Check Printing list view

This list view displays check data based on the parameters you entered in the Format and Status fields (see below). It displays whether or not the check was printed, the date the check data was created, the source, the format, the check number, the date on the check, reprinted, entered, the type, amount, and number of accounts, and memo.

Select a check from list view and the details of that check will be displayed in the fields below this list view.

	Note: You can re-sort how data appears in the list view by clicking on the column you want data sorted by. For example, if you click on the Amount column, it will order the checks by the amount. This is for display purposes on this screen only; the sort order for the printing of the checks is in check-number order.

To print the list view, right-click in the list view and use the printing options that are shown.
