Q): How do I get Money to print my name and address and the MICR information
on my checks?

A): You don't. There are many sources for pre-printed checks that supply the
format expected by Money. On this stock, Money will print payee, payee
address, date, amount, memo, and accounting information on the stub. It will
not print your name and address, the bank's name and address, or the MICR
stripe across the bottom. There are also 3rd party solutions, including
VersaCheck and IDAutomation Check Printing Software for printing the
"pre-printed" information on blank check stock. (Thanks to Cal Learner for
the link to IDAutomation.) Also, see the answer to "Back to the check stock
question: Isn't it obvious that Money should print the MICR data?"

Q): Back to the check stock question: Isn't it obvious that Money should
print the MICR data?

A): No, actually, it isn't.

Money assumes you are using pre-printed check stock. The pre-printed check
stock has bank, payer name/address, check number, and the MICR stripe. Money
doesn't print this stuff because, at least for the MICR stripe, very, very
few (if any) Money users are equipped to print this stuff in ways that
conform to the requirements for these features.

Yes, you can print checks with VersaCheck, etc., that "look" right and, at
most banks that use optical instead of magnetic equipment, work acceptably.
You may also find that those that aren't using optical equipment are within
their power to reject the check and they will certainly have problems with
them even if they don't reject them. These problems may delay payments, etc.
Despite whether they "work" or not, they still don't meet specifications and
standards for such things. For one discussion of the special toner
requirements from somebody in the MICR font business, see the MICRfonts
page. VersaCheck stays below this radar by being small and selling MICR
toner cartridges for those users who care to do it right. If mass market
software like Money from a company of the profile of Microsoft enabled lots
of ignorant or devious (or cheap) people to ignore the FRB requirements for
such things, you can bet they'd hear about it. They call this type of
activity "aiding and abetting."

Money is now common enough that most any company that prints check stock can
print in the formats Money expects. This competition has brought the prices
down to the point where the pre-printed stock is always a better choice than
any of the other ways to do this.

doesn't answer the question "Is there any 3-rd party plugin to fix this?" If
there was some magic "plug-in" to make it possible to do this, don't you
think the FAQ would say so?

The simple and accurate answer to your questions is "no". We thought

Hello,

It is likely you will need micr/barcoding software
http://www.bank-software.com/check-printing.htm specifically for printing
checks.

Did you read the items on this subject in the FAQ Cal sent you the link to?

Is there any 3-rd party plugin to fix this? I find it highly annoying that I
can't print my own checks but I can print everybody elses. (I receive
payments from people using Q-Chex, but I use MS-Money to deal with my own
checkbook.)

Print your checks? Yes. Print the MICR data and other, normally pre-printed,
stuff, no. See the FAQ Cal points to for details.

Hello Microsoft users. Does anyone know how and if it is
possible to set up my microsoft money 2000 to print my
checks, which would include my checking account and
routing number and all the good stuff that goes underneath
the check. Thank You I would appreciate any comments and
suggestions.
