Suppress Accounts Payable Checks 
Select this check box if you don’t want to print Accounts Payable checks for any vendors this Bank Account Code is assigned to.
Check Format 
From the drop-down, select the check format you want to use when you print checks.
0 - Laser SCS: Laser formats are typically full 8 1/2 by 11” sheets, either preprinted or plain. Since the check itself is only 1/3 page long, as is the stub, a second copy of the stub is printed below the check. The order of the segments that are printed is stub-check-stub. This is the default option.
1 - Dot Matrix SC: Dot-matrix formats are also called Short Forms and are 7 1/2” long. You might use these if you print on multiple-part check stock. Because the paper is shorter, only one copy of the stub is printed. The order of the segments for a dot matrix check is stub-check.
