How to Print Checks at Home: Steps by Step Guide
To print your checks from home or office using a regular printer, you will need to follow the following steps
- Invest in Check Printing Software
Consider investing in the online or offline check printing software. This will let you print checks in the correct check format on blank check stock paper.
- Get the Check Stock Paper
Get some check stock paper available from your nearest office supply store or Amazon
- Add your Account and Routing Number
Place the routing number and account number. To get it on your check, type the routing number at the bottom left corner of your check and your account number right to it.
- Add your Personal Information
Your personal information appears on the check in the upper left corner. Your name and address are among the information. The bank’s logo should be placed in the top-right corner of your check if you want to.
- Add the Check Number
Place your check number in the upper right corner of your check. Also, place the check number next to the account number printed at the bottom left of your check

- Add the Date Line
The line where you would add the date would be directly below the check number.
- Add the Payee Column
At the right side of the check, Type “Pay to the order of” and put a line or two or next to it. End the line at the $ sign.
- Add the Amount Box
Add a box with a fractional value for the amount to be paid below the date. In the space to the left of the box, write “$.”
- Add the Memo Line
Add the word “For” and a line to the left of the check. You place the memo there.
- Add the Signature Line
Add the word “For” and a line to the left of the check. You place the memo there.
Once you have completed the steps above, you can confidently print your checks on blank check stock or white paper.
