Indonesia's supported cheques are consistent: 178 x 70 mm for all three banks, with a single continuous date field and two amount-in-words lines.
| Bank | Size |
|---|---|
| Bank Central Asia (BCA) | 178 x 70 mm |
| Bank Negara Indonesia (BNI) | 178 x 70 mm |
| Bank Rakyat Indonesia (BRI) | 178 x 70 mm |
70 mm is the shallowest cheque here
At 70 mm tall, this is the shortest layout ChequeMaster carries — shorter even than Dubai Islamic Bank's 73 mm. Everything about setting it up follows from that:
- Check vertical position first on your test print. There is very little margin for drift before a field lands on the line below it.
- Keep fonts modest, particularly the two amount-in-words lines, which have to share a shallow band.
- Set the tray guides. A short leaf in a tray set for A4 will skew, and skew cannot be corrected with margins.
Rupiah: watch the digit count, not the decimals
The Indonesian rupiah is unusual for this software's markets in that everyday amounts carry a lot of digits — a modest invoice runs to seven or eight figures. Two consequences:
- Leave thousand separators on. Rp 12.500.000 is legible; 12500000 is not.
- Expect the words to wrap. Both amount-in-words lines should stay enabled — with figures this long, the second line is doing real work rather than sitting spare.
Set the amount-in-words unit to million rather than lakh, and decimal digits to 2.
Same size, separate layouts
BCA, BNI and BRI all print on 178 x 70 paper but each has its own layout, because the field positions differ. Get your printer feeding the size correctly once and the margins carry across all three; the layout choice still has to match the bank.
