subject: Laser Checks Still Being Used By Small Business To Pay Bills [print this page] Technology has provided a big change over the last twenty years, with regards to how a small business pays it bills. Compared to the ETF or Electronic Funds Transfer and the ATM debit card method, paying with a paper check is still the most popular method for paying bills and employee payroll for day to day operations.
A check printer should be able to print your checks from quantities of 100-600 printed laser checks. Most small businesses have an average of writing between 30-50 checks per month, then this quantity should be enough to last 10-12 months. Bank acquisitions and changes sometimes require a new account number, so keeping the quantities low, prevent wasting unused checks.
Small businesses that provide laser computer checks are available when searching the internet. Make sure the company you choose has been around a few years and has 1000's of customers.
For small business liability reasons, make sure the printed checks provided have the latest in check security features that meet all ABA (American Bankers Association) requirements. MICR words, chemical stain, warning band on checks, erasure protection and more. Check fraud is a multi-million dollar business in the US, so security check paper is a must for any small business doing paper checks.
Check ordering options should include how your checks input through the laser/ink jet printer: Face-up (Low Number on top face-up) for printers that take checks face-up through the printer OR Face-down (Low number on top - face down) for printers the take the lowest number from the bottom up. Other options include, being able to select your business check starting number, number of signature lines printed on checks and of course check colors that are most common, blue, tan, green or burgundy.
