Main features

The internal cheque printing module is fed by means of two 1500 sheets capacity cassettes adaptable to various paper sizes, one reserved to blank cheques while the other feeds blank covers, order forms and other relevant forms (i.e. advertising or others) assembled in pre-assigned sequence.

Cheques are first encoded by means of a thermal transfer MICR ribbon, followed by a MICR verifier which can validate the encoding process enabling the subsequent step which is the customization printing through high resolution inkjet capable of printing at the 300dpi resolution in all the cheque areas.

Cheques and covers are then collected in the booklet assembling area, capable of collecting up to 50 cheques plus covers, where they are first aligned, then stapled and bound by means of an adhesive tape.

As a last step, the dispensing station includes a dedicated box for storing retracted chequebooks in case of customer misses withdrawing it.

The design concept is similar to a pipeline built with the various stations, which means that at the same time several cheques are on fly moving long edge first, each one under a different module function, so as to maximize performances and produce, as an example, a 25 sheets booklet in less than 100 seconds.

An embedded Web server is included which enables to operate quickly for maintenance aims some basic functions of the machine by means of an Internet browser, therefore without installing any kind of driver and software.

Software

Several tools, most of them supplied complimentary, have been developed to assist the booklet design process, the installation tests, service procedures such as parameter fine tuning, diagnostic and troubleshooting, massive tests, demonstration and also the framework for a real cheque printing solution for back-office style.

User transaction can be initiated with banking card and pin or with a transactionID that can be manually inserted or read from a QR code (this allows to perform mobile app requests that end up with printing at the kiosk). The user validation requires that the bank provides a WebService to authenticate the user (customizations are possible). Transaction might be configured to let the user choose some options of booklets (for example number of cheques) and is completed with the booklet delivery and receipt. Like an ATM, of course, card and booklet can be retracted and secured if user fails to collect them. The monitoring system shows the live status of the units on a map or as list, allows to remotely restart, temporarily put of service or back into service the units. It also monitors the status of consumables allowing to plan the consumable refill/replacement in advance. In case of a unit problem it gives valuable information to understand the problem remotely and eventually solve it with only one visit to the site. The transactions are also monitored so that supervisors can understand, at a glance, which units are bearing the higher load and which ones are not used regularly.

RotoDraw is an intuitive and easy to use tool suitable for the chequebook design process. Application developer should define a certain number of templates, one for each sheet type as cheque, front cover, order form, back cover, advertising and so on, and for each of them it is possible to allocate printing fields in a WYSIWYG mode choosing from standard bitmaps and any Windows true type font.

BitFont is a graphic resource editor generator that can inherit character fonts and bitmaps from Windows systems, graphically edit and convert them into the CJD format, ready to be used once transferred to the machine.

It also allows to fine tune all the machine parameters in a really simple and intuitive way. Service tool can be used for upgrading the machine firmware and graphical resources as well as downloading diagnostic traces.
