# Batch print paper checks

`PUT /public/v2/paper-checks/print-batch/`

Print multiple queued paper checks in a batch.

This endpoint prints all specified checks, assigns sequential check numbers,
and returns a merged PDF containing all checks.

**Prerequisites:**
- All specified checks must have status 'not_printed'
- Use `POST /print-later/` to queue checks first

**Check number assignment:**
Check numbers are assigned sequentially starting from `first_check_number`.
The order of `paper_check_ids` in the request determines:
1. The order of checks in the PDF
2. The order of check number assignment

**Example:**
If `first_check_number=1001` and you print 3 checks, they will be numbered 1001, 1002, 1003.

**Returns:**
- `pdf_content`: Base64-encoded PDF with all checks
- `printed_checks`: List showing each check ID and its assigned check number
- `total_printed`: Count of checks printed
