Expand/Collapse item  Overview

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 complies with 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.
