How to cook check method
Software: Versacheck X1 Gold 2020 - office depot/versa check site
(dont use versa paper)
Any laptop that runs windows 10 - Amazon/walmart
High security check paper - Amazon
Hp 404dn with 58A Micr toner (personal choice others can be used) - Amazon
Okay so
Account owner details - Red
Payee details - Blue
Fraction code- Yellow
Check amount - Green
Date - White -- Check number - Purple
Signature - Purple
Memo - Purple
Bank details - Purple
Check number - Purple
Account and Routing - Orange
Account owner details - Here you simply input all details you see listed on the
original check minus the phone number and email. SO JUST TO RECAP NEVER PUT THE
PHONE NUMBER OR EMAIL. As for the logo's you simply go on google to pull the
company's logo. In the event you cant find the logo you can go on their website
and take a screenshot and crop out just the logo. As you can see the logo im looking
for isnt here. (sometimes you can just use a differewnt search engine)
Unless your computer is a potato you can do the same on your computer
easy
Key rule well the most important rule of all
Create what you see
the software does 90% of the work the last 10% comes from placement which we'll
go over later
Payee details - this is simply the head/person/drop details. whoever is cashing or
depositing the check details for lack of better vocabulary.
Sometimes it's placed twice on a check this is usually with business checks
you wont see it on personal checks.
Easy way to tell the difference is the account owner details at the top left
if its a business name then......you get where im going
peronal checks are also 99% of the time HAND WRITTEN
Fraction code - this is a small check security feature. if you google it youll see
they say its not required because its an old feature. but going back to the rule
CREATE WHAT YOU SEE we ignore google and put it if we see it.
If youre making a check from a bank log you wont really be able to find this unless
the log owner has written a checek out from their account before
in that case youre forced to just not put it but i just personally dont do it
without the code.
Check amount - This is 99% of the time always placed in two spots: the middle of
the check in written form and off to the right in number format
some checks neglect to put the written part but this is only business accounts
that usually do that
written checks will always have this written out
As for how much to write your check out for:
If you know the balance of the account youre writting the slip for
you then know how high you can go
thats only half the info you need
how long the payee's account (person dropping the check) has been open
3 months is the minimum if youre trying to go for an undefeated record
the bank also plays a HUGE factor on the amount
boa wave 3 months+ 15k
chase 3 month 1-4k
bmo harris 2 weeks 2-6k
it really just varies for them all
i generally only use accounts that have been on 1+ year(s)
and do 5-20k
I do have method to bypass limits meaning you can use fresher accounts
so to sum it up if the account is fresh go low or dont use it
the longer its been on the more you can do simple
Date - White -- Check number - Purple
these two are peanut butter and jelly
they have to make sense together or you ruin the entire slip
so here my check number is 2121
date is 5/10/21
so when i make my slip i cant date it before 5/10
and the check number cant be below or the same as 2121
because then youll be writting out a check that has already been cashed
which will in turn ruin your slip and make it impossible to cash
so you then have to think okay my food is from 5/10 and the number is 2121
i have to make sure my check number is higher than the one im using
BUT you have to use a number they COULDNT have possibly cashed
that was a month ago so on my slip ill use something like 3794
the chances of them writting 1.6k checks in a month is extremely low based off the
original check number
so say the original number was 394054
and the slip was from 5/10 id use 396482 even 2k check is a lot for
a big company unless you using a huge company but if youre using a huge company
chances are you wont hit because they have security features that sends alerts for every
transaction
but if my slip was 2121 and the date was 6/8/21
id number mine 2629 not too high but high enough to where they couldnt cash it
and id date it the same
for older food i.e. 5/10 try to date your checks on the same weekday
so if 5/10 is tuesday date yours with 1-2 weeks off current date ie 5/27
idk if thats the exact day lol but you get the point
TAKE YOUR TIME UNDERSTANDING THAT NUMBER AND DATE PART
Signature - Purple
Some people write out the signatures themselves but this is usually only for
personal checks or small businesses
big companies will have a printed signature this can be found on google
not all signatures are good though
this one is good its clean and simple
all you have to do is download it the software will place it for you
here's an example of a bad one
bad because its a "celebrity signature" meaning its known
this one is bad because it has shadows
basically just stick to the simple ones to avoid any mishaps
google and bing have diffent signatures
you can also get creative and search "doctor signatures" to mix it up
youre an artist get different color paint
Memo - Purple
just put a memo similar to the one on the original check
Bank details - Purple
simply put what you see
Account and Routing - Orange
plain and simple type it exactly how you see it
being off by one number is the end of the play so be careful and double check
now lets get to the software
this is the pay screen aka the only screen you need
once you open versacheck youll have some prompts come up
to make a new account
you can exit out and hit pay to pull it up again or just start there
but doing it from the pay screen which can be accessed by hitting "pay" on
the far left
the select "account" located below print and below pay
hit new account
where it says checking you just put any name to help you better find the check when
you want to go to it
always turn off account validation safeguards or youll get pop ups until
your eyes bleed
then hit next TWICE because the second screen doesnt matter
on the 3rd screen you enter the account owner details as shown on the original
check
Get every detail
you see the first letter of every words is capped.....on your check do the same
sometimes its all caps then you do the same
NEVER PUT THE PHONE NUMBER OR EMAIL
Then hit finish
itll ask you for the "next check number" you should have your number in mind
based off how i explained how to pick your number
check was 2121 on 5/10
im gonna do 3729
hit next
as you can see it says the fraction code is optional but like i said put it if
you see it
the 710 goes in the second box but its a pro move to put it all in one box
the second box can then be converted to say something else
youll see in a moment
at the bottom you just check number, acc and routing as shown on the original
check
on business checks the order is
check number--routing----account
personal is
routing----account-----check number
which is also a way to tell what kind of check youre using
okay so sometimes the account number will be multiple spaces from the account
number so you have to use your eye and kinda feel it out for yourself
sometimes there will be no space. just type what you see
as for writting checks from logs you find the account and routing along with
the name and address of the owner and fill it in the same way as any other check
you then check if the log has written a check and make your number higher than
that if not 1001 is the number you use to go deeper thats part of a seperate method
hit next
just enter the bank detailsas seen on the original check
Hit next
check the enable check pattern and color
then hit change style
then hit new on the bottom left
type a random style name
then hit browse
find the check that looks like the one im going to show you and
RENAME IT TO MAKE IT EASIER TO FIND FOR WHEN YOU MAKE NEW CHECKS
once youve done that hit ok
then ok
then next
where it says signature type just select "image"
now here you add the account owner logo (if on the original check)
bank logo (if on the original check)
printable signature image
hit express check design
size your logo and all
here's where your time will be spent
it's time to paint
every detail on the check should match up
its the smallest shit trust me
you see the account owners info is centered
on the original its left justified
so to pull up the customize menu for each element just double click it
now you see my logo is EXACT but thats generally as good as it gets
unless the logo is on google or bing or you know who to photoshop
font size i usually use is 10 for major details like account owner name check amount
payee name
the rest is usually a 9
you have to click each element and make sure its the same font and size as the others
checks usually only use times new roman or arial
these two are easily distinguishable
to remove the barcode double click
hit advanced
and uncheck the postal box
now the bottom fraction should be changed to say "reference"
this is so we can put "void after 90 days" (if its on our check)
some say different this but you can basically make it say whatever you want
make sure to move the "/" that gets left behind
this can also be changed to say whatever you want while mapping the check unlike
reference which you cant see untill you preview the check
drag anything you dont want below the dotted line
to get the box off the "0.00" momve the "0.00" then move the box
then put 0.00 back
See its not hard you just have to take your time
use a mouse instead of a track pad for precise lining and placement
once done hit save (floppy disk)
then exit
then hit finish
now all you need to do is add the payee
you can either hit contact manager and then hit new to add someone
from the pay screen you click the 3 dots on the sample check in the middle
of the screen
put their info in then hit okay
put your date and amount
along with the reference [(void after) if on the check]
hit record then hit print
hit okay itll bring up a prompt for last minute changes
if no changes hit next next and print but id advise hitting preview to make sure
shit looks right
good
the circles are built into the check paper
that part doesnt matter
PAPER DOES MATTER but exact matching doesnt
but thats how to cook =) pm me any questions and for food thanks for coming
- Thanks!
