RE: [U2] check signature
Steve, I sent this reply to my boss to forward to you on the Epicor Dataflo Listserver later today. So you will probably get this twice today! He is a member of that list instead of me. We had Troy Systems (www.troysystems.com) create a font chip for our HP 4050 printer that contains a scanned signature. Then we simply send PCL code from the basic program to the printer that selects the font and prints the characters that generate the signature. I coded the PCL code strings in the Basic program as hex characters to keep the PCL characters from creating problems in the basic code. Here is an example: SIGSETUP = 1B2834421B28733070302E30306831322E30763073306231303254 SIGLINE1 = 2122232425262728292A PRINT ICONV(SIGADV,MX):ICONV(SIGSETUP,MX): PRINT SPACE(14):ICONV(SIGLINE1,MX) It takes some juggling to finally get the printer alignment right and I highly suggest that you don't print anything else on the same lines as the signature! We actually purchased the HP 4050 from Troy Systems and they also included the MICR font chips for the printer as well. We print the signature and the MICR encoding on blank check stock. I can send you more detail code samples if you need them. I know there are probably many ways to accomplish this same task but this one works for us. I did it this way because I had already created the HEX strings for use in a Micro Focus Cobol program to print signatures on our Payroll Checks, so instead of recreating the wheel, I copied the strings!

Re: [U2] check signature [Possible AD]
We currently print about 500,000 checks a year (past 6 years) using a set of programs (Unibasic) that I wrote that will/can print the following: 1) Signature (Black White Tiff) or signature lines if above a pre-signed limit 2) The MICR Line (Can either use a secured DIMM chip or not) 3) Any number of graphics (boxes, logos, etc) 4) Multiple Check Forms (ie A/P, Payroll, etc..) Email me off line at (don at southeast-florida dot com) if you want more info. This may be an AD, however, I never released the code outside the company I work for, although I been tweaking for years here and there. I'm think I'm willing to give it try with outside company. Lastly you didn't say what platform and o/s you are on.

RE: [U2] check signature
Steve: I always view hardware solutions as preferable. Put a reusable font (or signature) on a chip, then call it with a font#. Troy has these that can be controlled by software. You can also have soft fonts that can be downloaded to a printer for a particular purpose, like a signature font. When the check run is complete the signature font can be deleted from the printer. If you have more specific questions, ask. Hope this helps.

RE: [U2] check signature
Yes, we do it. Our basic programs print special PCL commands to a PRINTRONIXS dot-matrix printer.

We went this same route the last time we implemented a check printing solution. The only other point to note is that you need special MICR toner (It's magnetic) so that the MICR readers at the bank can read the numbers. This might have changed in the past few years, but I'd check with the bank to be sure.

RE: [U2] check signature
This is another place where we use a form overlay stored as a PCL macro in a flash DIMM in the printer. The check form, including the signature and all of the bank information, except for the MICR line, is part of the form. Also stored in the flash DIMM is a MICR font. The check safety paper is kept locked up when not being used. The only thing pre-printed on the check other than the safety paper features is a color logo. The check printing program prints all of the data, including the MICR line, then calls the form overlay just before a form-feed is sent. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 09, 2006 3:44 PM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: [U2] check signature I am converting our AP Checks from tractor fed continuous forms to laser print.
