I’m having some issues getting my checks to scan, do you have any tips?

• When scanning a batch of checks, the optimal number for a batch is between 50-100 checks. The optimal number for a batch may vary based on your internet connection.
• To avoid check jams, arrange your stack of checks in order of size from smallest to largest with the lower right corners lined up.
• Make sure all checks are facing the same direction and all rubber bands, paper clips or staples have been removed.
• Tap the bottom of the stack of checks to align the stack before loading it in the scanner.
• Clean your scanner often to ensure clear images and to avoid the need to frequently correct items.
