Reply to "Defeating the Check Security Features"

I have found it helpful to fully understand what is going on and why. I always thought that it was the silver "hologram" looking thing that triggered the black copy but that is not correct. It is a patch of yellow dots that show up three places across the bottom of the check. You eliminate those and the check copies. This can be done by having that part of the check positioned on the glass so that the yellow dots don't scan but you have to be willing to give up the routing information that is also at the bottom of the check. If you need the routing info, you can use white-out or if you don't like the idea of modifying the check, then small pieces of Post-it Note works or I suppose you could create a stencil overlay that shows the check but covers the yellow dots. None of this is very practical if you have hundreds a day but might be suitable for lesser accounts.
