Are you still writing checks by hand? Consider the benefits of printing checks on your laser or ink jet printer. Printed checks are a fast and efficient method of paying your bills. After entering bills into TaxSlayerBooks, use the "Check Printing" feature to choose the bills you’re ready to pay / print. Not only will your checks be printed, they will also be recorded directly to your checkbook, providing the ‘real-time’ balance of your account. Printed checks also provide hard-copy record keeping. While you give the check and one stub to your vendor, you keep the additional (printed) stub for your own records. Choosing laser or ink jet compatible checks also expedites mailing your bills. Once processed through TaxSlayerBooks, each check will have the vendor name and address, as well as your company information printed on them. Compatible double-window envelopes then display the addresses, while hiding sensitive information such as the account number and amount. Whether you decide to upgrade to TaxSlayerBooks compatible laser checks or would like to use handwritten checks, Dynamic Systems has the supplies you need to run your business. As the recommended source for TaxSlayerBooks, you are assured all checks and forms are 100% compatible. Visit Dynamic Systems for a complete online catalog at www.dswebtoprint.com/taxslayer.

Everyone loves options…and options are only good when we know they are available to us, and how to make use of them. So here are some simple options in TaxSlayer Books that you may find useful if only you knew they were there! And “where is there?” you may ask…”In Configuration” I would answer! • TaxSlayer Books uses your computer’s C: drive as the default backup location. So when you choose to make a backup copy of your company file (under Maintenance on the Main Menu bar), it’s automatically set to save to the C: drive. This is not the safest place to keep a copy of your data since your computer itself is vulnerable to loss through system crashes, viruses, theft, etc. We recommend that you make a backup copy of company files on a regular basis to an external source such as a jump drive or CD. To expedite that process, you can assign the computer drive that uses those devices as your backup location. Once the backup path is set, it’s just a few clicks of the mouse to quickly backup your work. So, No More Excuses! • If your payroll checks aren’t printing exactly as they should to your pre-printed check stock, you can adjust the check margins to change the alignment of the check text. Just checkmark the Adjust box, and increase the check margin if you need to move the wording lower on the page, or decrease the margin if the wording should print higher on the check. • We all have individual tastes and often express that through the background picture that shows on our cell phones and computer screens. TaxSlayer Books offers several backgrounds – from the patriotic (Flag and Washington) to the peaceful (Ocean Night) and a few basics for those less selective (Blue, The Blues, and a solid white screen). So those are the kinds of tweaks you’ll find in Configuration. Stay tuned for more to learn what’s in Company Config!
