I need help setting up my Brother printer to print a single check

correct. I put a full page of checks in, and it prints the 1st ( top ) one, but then if I just need to print one check, and place it into the tray it wont grab the check

it grabs a piece of blank paper underneath the check

i didnt know if i needed to feed it thru the top of the document feeder or not

let me look, do you know where i can find it on the machine?

ok on the front i found TN-223BK/C/M/Y

to the right it also had TN -227BK/C/M/Y

when i put a full page of checks which is 3, it prints the top check just fine. But if I only place a 2 check page or a single check into the tray it moves the check paper aside and grabs the next blank piece of paper below the checks and prints on that instead

i sometimes only need to print a single check. in that case it doesnt grab onto or print on the check, but the paper behind it instead

unless im putting it into the wrong part of the tray perhaps

im not sure offhand i can check ...what should it be set to?

under scale options it has 3 options, print to fit area, actual size or 100

which do u think would be best to try?

2 checks are in the tray now closest to me, not deeper into the machine.

also do you know if i should be placing the checks closer to me or further into the machine? Basically which end?

i had that set to printable area...changed it now, but what end would you put the checks into?

ok it printed on a blank piece of paper underneath it, and spit out the paper printed copy then behind it came the checks, blank

I've never printed checks before, so this is the 1st time. It will print the top check of a full page of checks fine, but anything less than a full page it wont grab

ok that copied just fine

ok

quick question...if it printed fine, why would that indicate an update of drivers is needed?

its prompting me to do a firmware update now so i did that

is the Go button the same as the power button though?

"program updating" now its a flashing screen

it rebooted and seems ready back to normal home screen

after it completed the 1st time, it showed firmware update vaailable, so I did it again and i believe it rebooted twice at this point

ill do a test print now

omg it worked BUT

i put the paper closest to me on the other side of the trsay the 2nd time and presto it grabbed only the check
