RE: Cheque printing direct from the iSeries.

Given that the cost of "special" micr printers are multiples more expensive
than a standard printer with a micr toner cartridge. Plus the fact that they
are multi tasked in that once the micr toner cartridge id removed they are
useable for general printer functions.

But either way, the bottom line is that check printing (and all other
electronic forms processing) is pretty standard stuff on the i5.

Up to a point. But according to everything I've read on 
the subject, MICR toners tend to be rather more abrasive 
than standard toners, and from what I've read, tend to 
wear out printers unless they've been specifically beefed 
up.

Also, regarding vouchers/pay records for EFT in 
California, I live and work in California, and get paid by 
direct deposit; we don't get issued physical pay stubs any 
more, but we can go to the payroll service's web site to 
download them as needed. And when I get a reimbursement 
check for something I buy for the company, it's now 
usually printed and mailed by the bank, rather than 
locally, which may be another option to consider.
