SYMPTOMS
========
 
When you attempt to print continuous feed checks to an Epson ESC/P2
or Panasonic KXP-2023 printer, no text is printed. The printer only
feeds a blank sheet of checks.
 
WORKAROUND
==========
 
Print the checks using a non-ESC/P2 driver, such as the Epson LQ 850
or the Epson LQ 2500.
 
Make sure the driver is configured as an additional printer connected
to the same port; do not replace the current driver. Choose this
alternate driver for check printing. For other printing, such as Report
and Chart Printing, use the ESC/P2 driver to access specific printer
features and allow better printing performance.
 
To set a printer for check printing, follow these steps:
 
1. On the File menu in Money, point to Print Setup and then click Check
   Setup.
 
2. In the printer list, click the non-ESC/P2 printer.
 
3. Select the correct Check Type and Source. Click OK.
