Any option to print checks signed?

Dec 06, 2008 6 Replies

I am using Q2006 Deluxe and searching through help doesn't suggest there i any way to have my printer print a signature on my checks. Am using Q2006D for a small non profit (synagogue), so I don't really need all the bells and whistles of business software, but if it is not an option in deluxe, is it an option in the business software?



TIA Jim


what about the usual "rubber stamp" ? how many checks do you print at a time ?

I did the same thing. These days, I write a paper check once or twice a year, so it's no big deal to manually sign them. AFAIK, no version of Quicken ever allowed pre-scaned signatures.

Thanks folks.... It's never an issue with my personal checkbook where I only write the occasional check, although over the years I have had checks clear that were not signed.

For the synagogue I am often writing 4-6 checks at a time and although I don't like writing, the issue is frankly more of forgetting to do it rather than convenience. Meanwhile, I have pre-hand signed about 25 (vouncher style) from the box and will try to keep ahead of the game.

Suppose I could try scanning and printing my signature on the checks though - one to a page, voucher style, though.

For several years I printed checks - with a signature - using word. I used a mail merge system, with the primary document the check "template" and a secondary document just to hold the data fields (payee, date, amount, etc.)

The point is, I simply placed my name in the template as a signature font. No one to whom I ever sent a check cared a bit that the "signature" was a Microsoft font and not in fact my signature. Neither did my bank.

It seems that signing checks in your true hand with ink only when you are in fact issuing a check is NOT an effective internal control. So your idea to sign them in bulk before you print them sounds fine to me.

I scanned my sig in and created a small .jpg file that I paste into documents such as contracts that need to be emailed or faxed. Have done this for checks, however.
