# Manage check print

Use the Checks API to submit check print requests that print and mail checks to payees.

By the end of this tutorial, you will:

- Print a U.S. cashier’s check via USPS without remittance documents.

- Print a U.S. cashier’s check via FedEx with remittance documents.

- Print a U.S. or Canada Accounts Payable 6‑column check with standard delivery.

- Print a U.S. or Canada Accounts Payable 6‑column check with special delivery.

## Before you begin

Confirm your access and configuration before you send requests.

- Use a registered and fully onboarded Developer Account on the J.P. Morgan Payments Developer Portal.

- Use an active project with credentials to make API requests.

- For Accounts Payable 6‑column, enable Active Access check print services and obtain an active check print form code.

- For cashier’s checks, enable Active Access check print services.

  "id": "b1b2c3d4-e5f6-7g8h-9i0j-k1l2m3n4o5p6",
  "issueDate": "2025-12-09",
  "requestInvocationId": "n8a40v3r-3769-4o79-9z0l-ale1edc90389"
