This issue almost always happens because of a layout mismatch. In ChequeSystem, every chequebook is linked to a specific layout. If you are editing Layout A, but your chequebook is still set to use Layout B, your printed cheques will not show your recent changes.

To fix this, you just need to verify which layout your chequebook is currently using and update it to the correct one.

Step 1: Identify your updated layout
Go to your layouts and find the one you have been editing.
Temporarily rename it to something obvious, like “My Bank (Testing)”. This makes it much easier to find in the next steps.

Step 2: Update your Chequebook Settings

1. On the top menu, go to “Management > Chequebook Management”.
2. Select your current chequebook and double-click on it to open the settings.
3. In the pop-up dialog box, look for the Layout field.
4. Click the dropdown menu and select the layout you just renamed (e.g., “My Bank (Testing)”).
   
5. Save your settings.

Try printing your cheque again. Your recent changes should now appear perfectly on the printout!

1. Getting Started
   First, you need to access the cheque layout management area to create a new layout.
   • Go to the main menu and select “Management > Cheque Layout List“.
   • A dialog box will appear, showing all your existing cheque layouts. From this list, click the [+] button to open the Cheque Layout window.
     
   • The Cheque Layout window is divided into two main parts. The top half features a preview pane where you can see your design in real-time. The bottom half contains all the configuration settings. Any changes you make will be reflected instantly in the preview.

     

2. Basic Layout Settings
   Begin in the section directly below the preview pane to configure the main properties of the layout.
   • Layout Name: Provide a unique name for your layout. This name will help you identify it when creating a new cheque book.
   • Bearer Cheque: Check the ‘Bearer Cheque’ box if this layout is for a bearer cheque. If unchecked, the “Bearer” field will be hidden from the setup.
   • Cheque Dimensions: Accurately measure and input the Width and Height of your physical cheque in millimeters. For instance, a standard cheque might be 203mm wide and 90mm high.
   • Date Format: Choose a date format and separator that matches the style used on your bank’s cheques.
3. Defining Field Positions and Sizes
   This is the most critical part of the process. To define the position of each element, use the field selection area located in the middle of the screen. Here, you can click on each field (like Payee, Date, or Amount) to select it and then input its specific measurements.

   For each selected field, you must provide four measurements:

   • Left: The distance from the left edge of the cheque to the left edge of the field.
   • Bottom: The distance from the top edge of the cheque to the bottom edge of the field.
   • Width: The horizontal space available for the field.
   • Height: The vertical space available for the field.

   

   Take these four measurements for every field you intend to use. If a particular field is not present on your cheque, simply set all its measurements to zero to disable it.

4. Customizing and Adding Fields
   ChequeSystem offers additional flexibility for personalization, with options typically found near the bottom of the configuration area.
   • Rename Components: You can rename standard terms like “Non-Negotiable” or “Payable On Date Only” to align with your specific requirements.
   • Self-Defined Field: Use the self-defined field option to add an extra, custom field to your cheque layout as needed.
5. Saving the Layout
   Once you have configured all settings and defined the measurements for each field, click the [Save] button at the bottom of the window. Your new layout is now saved and can be selected when you set up a new cheque book for printing.

By following these steps, you can accurately create custom cheque layouts in the ChequeSystem software.

In the Cheque Layout window, you will find various options to customize your cheque design:

• Naming the Layout:
  To begin, provide a name for the layout you are creating.

  Use the “Bearer Cheque” checkbox to indicate whether the cheque layout is for a bearer cheque or not. If it is not a bearer cheque, the “Bearer” field will be hidden.
• Size, Date Format, and Separator:
  Specify the desired size (width and height) of the cheque layout, along with the preferred date format and separator.
• Field Configuration:
  For each field on the cheque, including A/C Payee Only, Date, Place of Issue, Payee, Bearer, Text Line 1, Text Line 2, and Amount, you need to define four measurements (Bottom, Left, Height, and Width), which determine the size and position of the fields. Click on each field button and set the respective measurements. Refer to the image below for guidance on measuring the fields.

  Left – distance from the left edge of the cheque to the left edge of the field
  Bottom – distance from the top edge of the cheque to the bottom edge of the field
  Height – the vertical space available for the field
  Width – the horizontal space available for the field

  

• Handling Inapplicable Fields:
  If a field is not applicable to your cheque layout, simply set its measurements to zero.
• Customizing Component Names:
  You have the flexibility to rename components such as Non-Negotiable, Payable On-Date Only, First Payee Only, and Not Transferable to align with your cheque requirements.
• Self-Defined Field:
  Make use of the self-defined field feature to further personalize your cheque layout.
• Preview:
  The cheque layout preview will automatically adjust based on your configuration settings.
• Save:
  Once the layout is ready, click the [Save] button located at the bottom to save your changes.
