Dear Syscoin Community, please help me understand how to store my syscoins?

I want to store my syscoins in a paperwallet which I created from the website  http://cryptolife.net/upwg/  then when I want to use the funds, I can sweep it using coinomi wallet!
My problem is I don't know where to check the transaction had taken place after I sent the funds there, and how which website to confirm the coins are actually in there! 

=======================================================================================================

1.  I bought some syscoins from an exchange and want to store it in a paperwallet exactly like the way I store my bitcoins. 
In addition to bitcoins, I currently store these coins the exact the exact same way:- Litecoin, Dash, Dogecoin, Stratis, Blackcoin, Digibyte, Reddcoin. 

Step 1.  I goto http://cryptolife.net/upwg/ and generate my paper wallet for syscoin.   

Step 2.  For the other coins, I find the block explorer for the appropriate coins so when I send coins to the paper wallet key,
I can verify and confirm the transaction has taken place and the coin is in there!

BUT For syscoin, I tried to same method, but the block explorer does not confirm transaction has taken place nor does it confirm the coin is in the paper wallet,
but when I use coinomi wallet to sweep the paper wallet, the coin is in there and I am able to retrieve it!

Can somebody please tell me where I can check to make sure the transaction took place and the balance is in my paper wallet?  Because if I cannot verify the balance,
I feel unsecure sending any coins to the paper wallet even though I know when I sweep the paper wallet with coinomi, the balance will be in there!

I tried these syscoin block explorer but they don't show anything:

https://explorer.coinpayments.net/index.php


Here is the paper wallet public address which I sent 2 syscoins to as to test it!

There is still 2 syscoins in there, I used coinomi wallet to sweep it, and it confirms the balance, but I did not transfer the funds to coinomi yet, so the funds are still in there!
Can somebody please help me understand how to confirm the syscoins balance in this paper wallet address using the syscoin block explorer? thank you so much in advance for your kind attention!


I look forward to hearing back from you! All the best!
Dave

I found a solution to this after a long but very helpful session with the SYScoin support team and I have posted it here: https://steemit.com/syscoin/@danver/syscoins-missing-after-transfer-to-paper-wallet

I also created a Syscoin paperwallet. Then I transfered from an exchange to my public key. Is that correct or should I have entered some other address?
I find the transaction on the blockchain, but it shows a different address and if I search for my public key, it is not found.

Link to the transaction: https://chainz.cryptoid.info/sys/tx.dws?6497e54199b0a3cc1de7525afda73b07593530be869fe4f1be64257174147e4a.htm
My Public Key is: SNUSUPuH73KdqHAN6eYvCcLaBdjuPQT9n5

Did I do it wrong or is it ok? How can I check that I have access to the coins - Do I need to import my private key into the Desktop Wallet for this?

A user on reddit helped me with the issue: The Paper Wallet generator on https://walletgenerator.net/?currency=Syscoin is creating wallets in the old Syscoin format. Luckily the coins are not lost, because for each address in old format there is a corresponding new address (accessible with the same private key), and this is where why my coins were transfered to.
Here's the reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/SysCoin/comments/70p5x0/transfer_from_exchange_to_paper_wallet/

I've also managed to adapt the paper wallet generator to support the new Syscoin format. I've created a Pull request for the adapted code on the Github repository for the maintainer of the tool, so that it can be updated.

If anyone wants to use the updated version, it is currently also available for download here: https://github.com/donredhorse/WalletGenerator.net
