# Check Format
Switch to direct deposit and pay your providers electronically—no check printing required. For more information, see **Set Up Direct Deposit**.
Format your checks to ensure they print properly on your check printer. Once you've formatted checks in KidKare, you should only need to change these settings if you get a new check or a new printer.
1. From the menu to the left, click **Administration** and select **Check Format**. The Check Format window opens.
2. Click the **Select Check Style** drop-down menu and select the check style you are using. This should be indicated on your check forms. It is important that this is set properly so the actual check prints in the correct position.
3. In the **Check Format** box, there are draggable check fields. Based on your check setup, drag each item to where it should be on the check format you use.
4. When finished making adjustments, click **Save**.
5. Click **Print Test Check** to print a test check on plain white paper.
6. Compare your test check to an actual check to see if the positioning is close.
7. Repeat **Step 2** to make adjustments and test again.
8. When finished, click **Save**.
