Hi @Saturnin,

Welcome to The HP Support Community.  

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

I understand you are facing an issue printing a single check on an HP Envy 6455e All-In-One Printer, especially when you have only one blank check left on a sheet, which requires careful handling to ensure accurate alignment and printing. 

Here are the steps to print a single check:

1. Prepare Your Check Printing Software

Ensure you have check printing software installed that allows for precise control over the check layout. Popular options include QuickBooks, Checksoft, or online banking tools that support check printing.

2. Load the Check Paper

Since you have only one blank check left on the sheet, you'll need to load it correctly to ensure it prints in the correct spot.

1. Open the paper tray of the HP Envy 6455e.
2. Place the check sheet in the tray:
   • Ensure the printable side (usually the side with the check) is facing down.
   • Align the check sheet to the proper corner of the tray, usually the right side, but confirm with your printer's paper loading guide.
   • Adjust the paper guides snugly against the check sheet to keep it in place.

3. Configure Print Settings

In your check printing software:

1. Open the print setup or preferences.
2. Select the HP Envy 6455e printer.
3. Set the paper size to match your check paper size. If it's a standard check size, you might need to select a custom paper size if your software supports it.
4. Adjust the print alignment:
   • This step is crucial since you have a partial sheet. Most check printing software allows you to adjust margins. Ensure that the software's preview matches the position of your blank check on the sheet.

4. Print a Test Page (Optional)

If possible, print a test page on regular paper to ensure alignment is correct. This helps to avoid wasting your last check.

5. Print the Check

Once everything is set up:

1. Select the check you want to print in your software.
2. Send the print command from your software.
3. Monitor the printing process to ensure the check feeds correctly and prints as expected.

Troubleshooting Tips

• Misalignment: If the printed text is not aligned correctly, adjust the margins or alignment settings in your check printing software and try again.
• Paper Jams: Ensure the check paper is loaded correctly and the paper guides are snug but not too tight.

Additional Considerations

• Ink Level: Ensure your printer has enough ink to print the check clearly.
• Print Quality: Set your printer to a higher print quality if the default setting doesn’t produce a clear print.

I hope this helps.
