Cheque Print Template

A Cheque Print Template tells BRAccount where each field sits on one bank's cheque leaf: the positions and sizes of the date, the payee name, the amount in words and figures, and the account payee stamp, measured in millimetres from the leaf's edges. It posts nothing. Each bank's leaf is a different size, so you need one template per bank account you write cheques from. Once set, a Payment Entry of type Pay with mode Cheque can be printed straight onto the leaf, which saves hand writing and prevents the amount in words disagreeing with the figures. Print a test on plain paper and hold it against a leaf before using real cheques.
