Secure, Efficient and Cost-effective Cheque Printing
The Version One secure cheque printing solution consists of an output management system and a specially adapted laser printer with additional security features. The printer uses MICR toner so that even the magnetic numbering on the cheques can be added at print time. The cheque stationery can be produced to your precise specifications, by a specialist cheque printing company.
The range of anti-fraud devices incorporated into the stationery exceeds the requirements of APACS (the UK banking standards body). Apart from a logo, watermark and hologram, the cheques are effectively blank, so the same stationery may be used for any number of bank accounts with multiple banks.
With most applications, the Version One software is invisible to the end-user. Cheques are produced either by printing the standard accounting system output to a new 'virtual' printer on the network or by generating a file containing the details for the cheque in a designated directory on the network.
The special fonts and any signatures will normally be stored inside the printer itself and will not be available on the network even to administrators.
No additional software required
No software, fonts or printer devices are required to be installed on client PCs for users to be able to print cheques. For reasons of security, DbForm does not allow any ad-hoc cheque printing outside of the core applications.
For more complex requirements, DbChequePrint incorporates a sophisticated programming environment, which allows the standard output to be reformatted.
For example:
- Cheques may be pre-sorted prior to printing, e.g. high value cheques printed separately
- High-value cheques may be printed with one signature and a dotted line or no signature at all so that they may be manually signed
- Cheques may be routed to different printers or stationery, e.g. low-value cheques to pressure-seal stationery, high-value to standard A4 sheets
- The continuation pages of remittance advices may use a different layout and/or different stationery from a different paper tray or a different printer
- Activity reports can be automatically sent to other printers
- Output may be automatically archived to Version One's DbArchive or other document management system (the cheque portion can be voided or omitted completely from the archived document)
- Generate payroll documents, purchase orders, invoices and more...
The DbChequePrint system may be used - with no additional software costs - to generate other documents from your finance systems or other software such as payroll. For example, hundreds of our customers use the same software to generate BACS remittance advices, Giro credits, purchase orders, invoices and credit notes, debtor statements, reminder letters, direct debit mandates and customised reports.
The DbChequePrint solution is part of Version One's fully integrated document imaging and document management software suite.
