Answer:
This is caused by no CheckForm in being set in the AP Section of System Options. If this field is left blank then FIMS will use the Original Character check forms that are saved in the custom directory of each foundation.
To set a default check form, do the following:
1. To go Tools\System Utilities\System Options\AP\CheckForm
2. Click on the look up button to select the default check form to be used. You can of course change the check form being used during printing if you want to use another one.
3. Click Apply\Ok
The check form shown in this screenshot below is just an example. Your foundation may use something different. Your accounting staff who work with check printing should know what check form that your foundation uses.
If you set a default check form here you can still select a different one if you wish when you go to print checks. Setting the default here means that this will be the default check form that is used but you can select a different form if needed when you actually print checks.
