Payment Systems Image Usability

Are you confident enough in your digital images?

Efficient and secure image-based item processing relies on high-quality images for a wide range of solutions, from recognition and data entry, to balancing, research and adjustments. Check 21 does not mandate a specific image quality level, but creates "usability standards" by mandating that substitute checks be usable for the intended purpose.  The Unisys Image Usability Analysis product examines the twelve fields on a check that are potentially of interest.

Image Usability Analysis ensures that important data items on a check are usable for the intended purpose. The overall image quality may be good, but particular information on a document may not be suitable.  

A usability field is a designated field on a document to be used for some intended purpose.  Image Usability Analysis defines twelve such usability fields.  Image Usability Analysis can examine any of the twelve usability fields and performs all seven image quality tests defined in the ANSI X9.37 "Specification for Electronic Exchange of Check and Image Data" standard.
