Hello info696,

 

Currently, the font style and size when printing payroll checks is made by default in QuickBooks Online. I'll send this feedback to our Product Development Team so they can evaluate it. This might be a good idea which they may put into consideration for product updates. You can visit the QuickBooks Blog to see what features are added in program, too.

 

If you're urgently in need to change the font of the payroll checks, I can give you a workaround. We can download the payroll check and use a PDF editor to change the font.

 

I appreciate you for sharing your feedback about the program. It'll help us know where to focus the improvements on the next updates.

We want to hear more from you so we can improve it to suit your business needs.

    Agree to have it adjustable At least to a 12pt font size. Us old guys tire of reading 10pt fonts

    Printing to PDF is NOT a workable solution if you want the font smaller as opposed to larger.  I have alot of info that I need in the memo field on many of our check and printing to PDF only gives me what I see on the printed check unless I retype the whole thing and that is DEFINITELY NOT AN OPTION.  So the solution is to give us control over the font size.  Thanks.

      Why has QBO not addressed this issue in any of the updates over the past 2.5 years?

      I understand that you wish to change the font used for paychecks in QuickBooks, @chollingsworth.

       

      Currently, the font size when printing checks is set to default. Though, we can adjust the printer scale from the print settings to make it more visible.

       

      Here's how:

      1. Go to the Expenses menu.
      2. Click Print Checks on the upper right corner.
      3. Choose a check you want to print.
      4. Press the printer icon beside the cogwheel icon.
      5. Select More settings, then click Custom from the Scale drop-down.
      6. Adjust the number (should be higher than 100).
      7. Make the necessary adjustments.
      8. Hit Print.

       

      Once done, you can now make the adjustments by going to the Print setup section. Check this link for the steps: Configure your print settings for printing checks.

       

      Additionally, I'd recommend visiting our Firm of the Future site. Here, we discuss recent and upcoming developments, such as improvements to recently implemented features.

       

      You can also check this article to ensure paychecks are properly aligned when you print them: Fix print alignment for paychecks.

       

      I'll be around if you have any other questions regarding printing payroll checks in QuickBooks. Keep safe always.

      I need to be able to print checks with a darker font but can't figure out how to do so on Quickbooks online. Is there a way??

      Hello there, @gsawko 

       

      Thank you for reaching out to the Community. Currently, customizing the checks to a darker font is unavailable within QuickBooks Online (QBO). You may consider downloading the check and manually editing it using an external tool to achieve the desired result.

       

      Here's how to download it:

       

      1. Go to the Expenses tab.
      2. Click Print check on the transaction that you want to print.
      3. Select Print setup and make sure to set up your checks correctly.
      4. Select View preview and print sample.
      5. Click the Download button.

       

      For more details about printing checks, refer to this article: Configure your print settings for printing checks in QuickBooks Online.
