Assigning Check Numbers

After you print checks, you assign numbers to them. Vision tracks the check number in the posted payment file so that you can monitor your check stock inventory.

You must give each check a number that matches the number in the check's magnetic ink character recognition line.

You can assign check numbers for a sequential set of checks or for individual checks:

• Select the Remaining Payments option to assign check numbers if the check numbers in your check file are sequential.
• Select the Single Payment option to assign a number to one or more checks individually. Use this option to reprint checks if the printer jams or any other printing problem occurs while you are printing checks.
