The Print window appears. Select OK if the printer settings look correct.
A window appears, asking if the checks printed properly and if it’s okay 
to update the journal. In real life, always look carefully at the checks 
before you answer Yes because Peachtree Accounting updates check 
numbers and flags these checks as printed.

Select Yes.
Take a moment to look at the two checks you just printed. The employee 
statement information is printed first, then the actual check. 
What Happens During Payroll Posting
In the simplest, most-common case, the cash account that you entered in the 
Employee Defaults window is automatically credited for the net paycheck 
amount when you post payroll checks. The employee salary expense is debited 
for the gross amount of the check, and any deductions you use are credited, 
to make up the balance of the gross.
