I received an off-the-forum message asking me why I did not simply suggest that you turn your pile of cheques updide down and feed them into your new printer that way. I can only presume that it is because your pre-printed cheques alreay have cheque numbers printed on them and doing so would mess up your cheque numbering sequence.
I am a big proponent of using blank cheque stock with Adagio. It makes life much easier, especially if you have multiple bank accounts. It is considerably cheaper and it increases security. (If someone steals your blank cheque stock, they might as well have stolen your photocopy paper,from a security point of view.) When I am not able to sell the idea of blank cheque stock to my clients, I advise them NOT to have the cheque number pre-printed on the cheque form. Let Adagio print the cheque number. It will avoid a lot of pain when you have a printer malfunction or other reason to reprint a batch of cheques - ensuring that the cheque number that Adagio assigned to the cheque and the printed cheque number are always identical.
