Check printing below the line
In the printer settings, decrease the value in the the top margin box. Use the print profiles in System Management to set up a print profile for printing checks on the selected printer and then adjust the top margin setting to reduce the value. You may need to print a few test checks to plain paper to see if the printer adjustment fixes the problem. Stack the plain paper on top of a page of check stock and then hold both sheets up to the light to see if the information prints in the right place on the check. Continue making adjustments to the top margin until the information prints in the right place.
