Using Clear or Void
The difference between these 2 options is whether you can use the physical check or not:
Is the check number still good to print?
If you have preprinted check stock and the check gets jammed in the printer, this check number is destroyed and the reprint process will need a new check number. This requires the Void option to be used.
If the physical check number is still good and can be printed on, then the Clear option should be used. Blank check stock can always use the Clear option.
You may need to clear some checks and void others for the same check run. It is recommended that you first Clear and reprint checks and then Void and reprint.
