Voucher uses one check per page with two stubs. Standard uses three check positions per page. The business or organization name and address come from the saved profile.

## Adjust alignment

1. Enter **Left or right (mm)** if horizontal placement needs adjustment.
2. Enter **Up or down (mm)** if vertical placement needs adjustment.
3. Select **Save changes**.
4. Select **Print a test check**.
5. Review the test PDF and repeat as needed.

Both offsets accept values from -25 to 25 millimeters. The test shows zero amounts and alignment markings. It does not create a real check or post a payment. Save before testing so the PDF uses your latest settings.

## Add a signature

1. Select **Add signature** or **Edit signature**.
2. Draw, type, or upload a signature.
3. Select **Apply Signature** when using the draw or type option.
4. Turn on **Signature** under **What prints** if you want it included.
5. Select **Save changes**.

An uploaded signature must be a PNG no larger than 1 MB. The preview lets you inspect it before saving. **Remove Signature** clears the saved signature when the form is saved and turns signature printing off.

Next, [print and confirm checks](https://demo.qixcount.com/help/bills-and-vendors/print-checks).
