- 1). Insert the check horizontally upside-down into the typewriter. Roll the check around the typing bar until the date section is lined up to the typewriter keys.
- 2). Type the date on the specified section. You want to write the months abbreviation, the numerical date, and the full four-digit year. Hit the "enter" key until the typing bar is lined up with the "To" section.
- 3). Type the full name of the individual or company the check is made out to. Space out the end until you reach the box with the "$" inside.
- 4). Type the numerical dollar amount. An example would be $125.65. If you do not have any cent value in the check, type ".00" at the end of the dollar amount. Click "enter" to go down to the next line.
- 5). Type the written dollar amount on this line. For the given example $125.65, you would write "one hundred twenty-five and 65/100 dollars." Click enter until you reach the "memo" section.
- 6). Type the reason for the check in this area. For example "June Gas Bill" can be written here. The memo section can also include your gas account number or a reference number for payment.
- 7). Spin the typewriter bar until the check is out of the machine. Sign your name on the line immediately to the right of the memo section, as identified as "signature."
