I understand, of course, that I will have to use either a template in MS Word or something else to create the 'printable form' to place the information correctly on the check form. I will appreciate any suggestions you can give me. My ancient DOS printer (KXP2180 PANASONIC PRINTER) has gone bad, and I must find a way to print personal checks. I believe that I am doing something wrong or don't understand how I am supposed to do that printing. Again, it appears that the slides don't go out wide enough to accommmodate an envelope. Still, the printer is supposed to be able to print envelopes through that manual door, though I don't know how to do it. When I open the 'front door' where a manual feed of an envelope or other item could be fed, it appears to me that the check is longer than I can accommodate with those 'slider guides' pushed out to the maximum. I want all the fields on the check EXCEPT the signature field to print, and I want to know whether I can make this printer do that. The blank checks I use are of the business length with raised lines to mark all the fields by touch. I am totally blind and needing to print personal checks.
