Printing checks in the American National
Standards Institute (ANSI) format aids in the use of Optical Character
Recognition (OCR) for automatically reading and encoding check
amounts. Sage 100 offers compliance to the ANSI format by
stripping leading asterisks, removing commas in the check amount,
and left justifying the amount to the preprinted dollar sign on
the check form.
Note To
be completely ANSI compliant, you must use ANSI-compliant check
stock.
