Apparatus (40) and a form for facilitating the processing of bank checks and like documents. A blank check includes locations for receiving information in visually recognized and machine-readable forms. Certain of this information, such as an identification of a bank and account, may be prerecorded. The customer adds other information, such as the amount of the check, the identification of the payee and his or her signature. The apparatus (40) receives this information (50, 60, 61, 62) and prints (52, 54, 55) the corresponding information onto the check form (53) in both visually recognized and machine-readable form. Consequently the check, when issued, contains all important information in machine-readable form. |
