We are excited about new enhancements to the Check Printing feature in Bravo! Aside from allowing users to print checks directly from Bravo using check stock, *available in January 2025, Bravo allows adding an employee's signature to use for check printing. This is especially useful for customers transitioning from another system to Bravo looking to maintain their existing check printing practices.

Enable Check Printing:
- On the right side Menu, click on System Configuration.
- Click on the Configuration Tab next.
- Scroll down and expand the POS CONFIG section
- Check the box labeled "Allow printing store checks." This option is unchecked by default.
- To enable it, Click Edit and put a check mark for "Allow printing store checks"
- Select Save to keep this update and restart Bravo.
Configure Your Printer:
- While still in System Configuration, let's go ahead and set up your printer! Expand the PRINTER CONFIG section
- Click the pencil icon
for the "Store Check" option to open the configuration dialog. - Select the Store Check Layout (LASER or QBOOKS_VOUCHER). Depending on the check layout you’ve selected, Bravo will automatically format the check with all required details, ensuring accuracy and compliance.
- *Available in January 2025 Select an employee, in the new field, "Employee for Check Signature". Note, the employee selected has to have a digital signature registered in their profile so that Bravo can print their signature on the Check. If the Employee selected does not have a signature on file, a warning message will pop up, "Employee for Check Signature does not have a signature on file. Signature will not be printed." so make sure the employee has a signature on file.
Format Types
The formats are layouts designed for use with pre-printed stock.
- Pre-printed Laser/Ink Jet
- QuickBooks
Recommended Hardware & Check Stock
Check Printing is compatible with the printers recommended by Bravo or you use your existing printer and add check stock when printing a check, or you can set up a separate printer just for checks. The following links will direct you to suggested sites for purchasing the two types of check stocks below:
Pre-printed Laser/Ink Jet Check Stock
Printing Checks:
At the end of the transaction, clicking 'Next' will bring you to the 'Tender Screen'. If the customer is owed any money, the "Pay Customer" options will appear on the side menu.
Select 'Pay Customer with Check'
If you don't have a dedicated check printer, load the check stock to your current printer.
Then click the Save and Finish button.
The Print Check Dialog will appear. Make sure the check has printed before clicking OK. If the 'Print Check' message box is still open and the check hasn't printed or didn't print on the correct check stock, replace the check stock and click the 'Print Check' button again!
Once the 'Print Check' dialog is closed, there's no way to reprint a check. But don’t worry, you can always write the check manually!
If you're out of physical checks in the store, no worries! You can easily change the tender type in Void/View Transactions. The link to the article below walks you through how to find, void, and modify transactions.

Just keep in mind that if you switch the tender type to 'Store Check', it won't prompt the check to print.
TRANSACTIONS CAN ONLY BE MODIFIED IN THE SAME BUSINESS DAY. ONCE THE TILL IS CLOSED, TRANSACTIONS FOR THAT DAY CAN NO LONGER BE MODIFIED.
