Entering Checks

Check Entry Screen
There are three ways to enter checks:

1) With a MICR Check Reader (recommended). We can supply you with one or give you information
in obtaining one.
2) By manual entry.
3) Importing a file.

1) Using a MICR Check Reader:
1) Click, "Use Check Reader "
2) Swipe check through Check Reader. The Rtn/ABA#, Account#, Check# and
Check Amount will appear on the screen. Using a MICR check reader prevents data
entry errors and will save time.

2) Manual Check Entry:
 1) Enter Rtn/ABA#, Account#, Check#, Check Amount, Check Date. Use the TAB or
mouse to move around the screen.

3) Importing a File: (See page 25) ??????

Reference ID: The Identification number assigned by you to a Check Writer.
Fee: The Return Check Fee you want collected (OK to leave blank, if no fee to collect).

Description for Statement: Information in this field will appear on the Check Issuer’s bank statement. You can setup a default Description for statement in the Setup screen or leave it blank. If a default Description for Statement has been setup, you can override it check by check.

Check Writer Information: Enter Check Writer Name, Address, City, State, Zip Code and Phone. Our software currently requires this information. The Check Writer Name is mandatory. If you are not using this system to print notices and don’t want to enter the Address, City, State, Zip Code and Phone, enter an "X" in each empty field.

Print Notices: Prints all the Notices at one time from the Check Buffer screen.
Issued To: The company or person the NSF check was issued to.
This is only used descriptively in the Notification Letter.
