Re: Printing checks in a test environment

We handle that by physically securing the check stock paper and the MICR
cartridge.  They are both stored in a locked cabinet in our A/P department.

We purchased a laser check printing package and I'm going to assist
Accounting with implementing it.  I assume we can go into our MAPICS test
environment and do all the sample A/P check runs we want.  Since we
created the test environment from a copy of production, anyone authorized
to print checks in production can also print checks in the test
environment.  Sounds like this is a security hole on our part.

Comments anyone?
