04-30-2004 Staffing organizations can see immediate savings & security benefits from laser MICR check printing.

The printing of employee payroll checks is an untapped opportunity for savings for many staffing organizations. A large number of staffing organizations are still purchasing pre-printed check stock and some are also still using dot matrix for their check printing.

The disadvantages of using dot matrix printers are obvious: bursting, slow printing, poor print quality, paper jams where check numbers are lost, and the hassles associated with maintaining old technology, to name just a few. In addition, those still using pre-printed check stock are faced with the inherent security issues and cost inefficiencies associated with this method of check printing. Many staffing organizations print hundreds or thousands of employee checks per week, and this requires ordering and securely storing numerous versions of pre-printed check stock. Laser MICR check printing offers tremendous cost efficiencies and security advantages.

AcuPrint Technology,

a leader in secure printing and financial software, offers VCG customers a suite of award-winning check fraud prevention solutions that will work hand-in hand with their VCG software. AcuPrint Technology solutions include SecureCheck nX2, the MICR laser check and form printing system that utilizes blank stock (void of all information except the stock's embedded security). SecureCheck nX2 merges accounting data from your VCG application to a stored check outline at the designated printer to produce a complete check. A single check run can create checks that draw from one or several bank accounts. The software is installed on a single host, but is password accessible from any networked workstation. Security permissions can be individualized for each employee and even include a dual employee login requirement.

With SecureCheck nX2, you can print all checks and forms (W-2s, 1099s, transcripts, POs, invoices, etc.) onto blank stock, thus eliminating the need to purchase and secure pre-printed stock. SecureCheck nX2 was most recently honored as a “Top 100” product by Accounting Today Magazine.

You can add positive pay protection to your check printing with AcuPrint’s SecurePay software, the positive pay solution that simplifies the capture, encryption, and transmission of check issue files per you bank’s specifications. As the leading defense against external check fraud, the positive pay process matches checks presented for payment with a positive pay check issue file and identifies possible fraudulent discrepancies.

SecureCheck nX2, the MICR laser check and form printing solution from AcuPrint Technology, works hand in hand with SecurePay to fully automate the process of check printing and positive pay file creation. Each SecureCheck nX2 check run creates and stores an encrypted audit trail at the printer that SecurePay uses to automatically generate a positive pay file. When you combine SecureCheck and SecurePay, you’re implementing a powerful, end-to-end check fraud protection plan.

AcuPrint also offers ezSigner, the fastest and most secure way to add signatures or security graphics to checks or other documents. Security passwords hold the key to placing signatures or graphics on any document. ezSigner will save time and money by ending the process of handsigning checks and forms.

SecureCheck, SecurePay, and ezSigner have been designed to be compatible with all accounting applications, platforms and environments, and are backed by AcuPrint Technology’s first-rate customer support team. Therefore, you can be assured of a quick and smooth installation, as well as the capability to scale easily as your application and system requirements change.
