Steve, I sent this reply to my boss to forward to you on the Epicor Dataflo Listserver later today. So you will probably get this twice today! He is a member of that list instead of me.
We had Troy Systems (www.troysystems.com) create a font chip for our HP 4050 printer that contains a scanned signature. Then we simply send PCL code from the basic program to the printer that selects the font and prints the characters that generate the signature. I coded the PCL code strings in the Basic program as hex characters to keep the PCL characters from creating problems in the basic code. Here is an example: SIGSETUP = "1B2834421B28733070302E30306831322E30763073306231303254" SIGLINE1 = "2122232425262728292A" PRINT ICONV(SIGADV,"MX"):ICONV(SIGSETUP,"MX"): PRINT SPACE(14):ICONV(SIGLINE1,"MX") It takes some juggling to finally get the printer alignment right and I highly suggest that you don't print anything else on the same lines as the signature! We actually purchased the HP 4050 from Troy Systems and they also included the MICR font chips for the printer as well. We print the signature and the MICR encoding on blank check stock. I can send you more detail code samples if you need them. I know there are probably many ways to accomplish this same task but this one works for us. I did it this way because I had already created the HEX strings for use in a Micro Focus Cobol program to print signatures on our Payroll Checks, so instead of recreating the wheel, I copied the strings!

They currently have a check signing machine that they feed the stack of checks into after they have printed. How do other companies handle check signing? Is there a way to print a digitized signature from the basic program? Any other ideas? Thank you.
