The format of the printed cheques is unique to each bank account. If you have other bank accounts, you can set a different cheque layout for each of them.

Some cheque formats may not include an address field, causing the address to be omitted when printing cheques . If the address is missing, the cheque could be printed in an incorrect format.
To resolve this, ensure the correct address is added to the card,as the cheque pulls the address from this information.Then, follow the necessary steps to adjust the cheque printing settings and select the correct layout.
