Cheque Printer

01

Twelve cheques, one screen

Say monthly, twelve, the first date and the amount, and the twelve cheques exist — dated, numbered up from the first leaf, each with its own memo line reading "Rent March 2026 — instalment 3 of 12". Instalments that are not equal are given in order, because an instalment plan agreed with a bank is not ours to divide. Thirty-one January steps to twenty-eight February, not to the third of March: a rent cheque dated three days late is, in a lease, a default.

02

Calibrated against real paper

Every layout starts from the stationery of its own region — the Gulf's 175 × 80, the UK's 200 × 90, America's 152 × 70 — and none of them is trusted. Print the calibration sheet, hold it against a real cheque, read off how far the printer was out in millimetres, and type the two numbers. Until somebody does that the layout is marked uncalibrated on every screen that mentions it, because a layout that prints close to the boxes rather than in them ruins a cheque book one leaf at a time.

03

Any bank, and the Arab world by name

More than two hundred and sixty banks ship with the app — every Arab country and the famous internationals — each with its Arabic name, its SWIFT code and the stationery format of its country. Adopt yours with one click and the layout starts from the right size. A co-operative bank nobody has heard of is typed in once and is yours from then on.

04

From the voucher, or from nothing

An accountant recording an outgoing payment by cheque is offered the cheque to print, then or three years later — press it twice and you still get one cheque, never two for the same debt. A property clerk with a client's cheque book on the desk has no voucher, no ledger and no accounting app at all, and prints all the same. The app depends on nothing: that case is the reason it exists.

05

The words, in both languages

The amount in words is what a bank reads when the figures are unclear, and it is printed in English, in Arabic, or in both on the layouts that carry two lines for it. It is stored on the cheque as it was printed, so a reprint six months later reads identically to the paper the payee is holding — and a bank that insists on its own wording is given it once and remembered.

06

No ledger entry, unless you ask

Printing a cheque is a stationery act, and by default this app posts nothing anywhere — printing a client's own cheques must never touch anybody's books. An office writing its own cheques can switch one setting on and every printed cheque also becomes an issued cheque in the Post-dated Cheques register, with the accounts and the timeline that app already owns. Off is the default, and off is the honest default.
