Cheque Printer with Layout Designer, Calibration and Register

Cheque Printer with Layout Designer, Calibration and Register is an offline app (one HTML file in a zip). You measure your own cheque leaf, set its width and height, and drag the date, payee, amount in figures, amount in words, crossing and signatory line to where they belong. A printer profile holds the offsets, scale, feed direction and page size for each printer. Print one cheque or a whole batch from a payee table or a CSV, then say what happened to each leaf so the register is always true. It goes further than a plain amount in words writer: it adds a layout designer, printer calibration, a register with statuses, batch printing and void rules that never reuse a number.

The problem it removes: Cheques are written by hand, so spelling the amount in words takes time and invites mistakes, and a typewriter or a one off template in a word processor drifts by a few millimetres every time the printer or the paper changes. A spoiled leaf gets thrown away and the number is forgotten, so the cheque sequence and the books no longer agree. This app puts the layout, the printer offset, the words and the register in one place.

What is inside:

• A layout designer for any leaf size, with rulers in millimetres, a 10 mm grid, drag and drop plus nudge buttons and exact number boxes for every field
• Date as one line of text or one digit per box, payee, amount in figures, amount in words in English and Arabic, an account payee only crossing and a signatory line
• Printer profiles with offset, scale, rotate, mirror and page size, and a calibration page with two crosses that works out the correction from your ruler readings
• Single and batch printing, from a payee table with standing amounts or from a CSV, with a clear question afterwards: printed, spoiled or nothing printed
• A cheque register with sequence numbers, statuses Issued, Cleared, Void and Stopped, post-dated dates and stale cheque warnings, and a voucher stub you can print
• Example data you can load in one click, a Start here guide and an Honest limits panel
• JSON backup and restore, CSV export, and CSV import with a check of every row before anything is added

Who it is for: An office manager, landlord, small trading company or accountant who writes a regular run of cheques on pre-printed cheque books and wants them printed neatly and recorded. You should be happy to measure a leaf with a ruler and test on plain paper.

What it is NOT: It does not supply cheque stock, a MICR line, a signature or a bank logo, and it does not claim that any layout matches any bank or that any bank accepts machine printed cheques: ask your bank. It does not talk to a bank, does not reconcile a bank statement, and does not give legal or tax advice. The Arabic wording needs a native read before you rely on it. It is not legal, tax or accounting advice, it is not connected to any government system, bank or messaging service, and it does not file or send anything by itself. UAE e-invoicing is not part of it.

Verified by us: scripted tests in Chromium (201 checks through the real screens: adding, editing and deleting records in every table, required-field messages, backup then clear then restore, CSV export then import, keyboard order, print layouts rendered to PDF, no horizontal scrolling at 375 and 1280 pixels, no network requests) and an independent recalculation by a separately written Python evaluator of 695 calculated values (25 randomised rows plus the example data) with 0 mismatches. Safari engine (WebKit): smoke test passed; Firefox: could not be launched. Not tested: Firefox beyond what is stated here, and no real printer was used (print layouts were checked as PDF).
