FAQs

Question: Can I use this to print checks?
Answer: Maybe, I never tried. I personally only use it to generate checks and then remote deposit from my screen.

Question: How do signatures work?
Answer: Add a .png image with either a transparent or white background to this directory. Then modify configurations signature_front or signature_back with the .png filename.
