• ID# 1068 Check Conversion available in POSY = the system attempts to process a transaction paid by check via ECC first. If ECC is not available, then it attempts check verification/guarantee. ProtoBase must be set up with a valid processor.
  
  P (Prompt) = in addition to processing the check via ECC or verification/guarantee, the system then prompts the clerk for customer identification. Entering a secondary ID lowers the possibility of fraud as well as provides the best rate for processing the transaction.
