Filing instructions say both direct debit and send a check

I have e-filed my return successfully with the IRS. I had entered my checking account info to pay the amount owed via direct debit. Then I printed a copy of my return.

 

The filing instructions say the amount owed will be paid by direct debit (but the date is mysteriously blank -- I chosen April 1. BUT it is also says I need to mail the check:

How do I know whether I need to mail a check, or that it will be debited?
