oday checks add
up to one-third of all

fees by up to 40%,
cut bad check losses
and fraud and speed
access to funds with

version. Let Epson
show you how.

ECC brings big cost savings
Electronic check conversion
dramatically reduces the high cost
of processing paper checks. By read-
ing the MICR code and processing
the check electronically, ECC speeds
the check transaction through the
routing process. And with the rising
cost of credit card transactions, ECC
can make checks the lowest cost
payment next to cash.
Cost and labor efficiency
You can reduce handling costs by
more than 40% with ECC. In-store
check pickup, deposit preparation
and transport are no longer required.
Faster access to funds
Float time is reduced from 5-7 days
to 1-2 days, making funds available
sooner, allowing you to optimize
your interest income. And, because
returned checks are resubmitted faster,
you’ll collect funds quicker too.
Consolidated bank fees
Retailers typically route paper checks
through multiple banks in each
region. With ECC, you can centralize
your check processing through a
single bank and negotiate significantly
more favorable rates.
Maximize ECC savings with Epson
Today, retailers are realizing substan-
tial savings by lowering check
handling costs, reducing losses from
bad checks and speeding access to
funds with ECC and Epson’s
industry-leading ECC printer, the
TM-H6000III. Epson has three
options to meet your needs that make
implementing ECC at the point-
of-sale easy: Check capture using
MICR reader, check capture using
digital check imaging and check
capture using digital check imaging
and ID scanning.
Epson’s check and
ID scanning features
reduce check costs and
fraud, and cut check
transactions to as little
as 10 seconds.

ECC with Epson MICR reader
Implementing ECC
using MICR can dra-
matically cut your check processing
costs. But without the right ECC
printer, a poor MICR reader can eat
up your savings with administrative
returns from misreads and substitution
errors. Epson’s TM-H6000III, with
its industry-leading MICR reader
offers over 99.9% accuracy, virtually
eliminating misreads and substitution
errors and dramatically lowering
returned check costs and losses. All
of which means you get more ECC
savings and less administrative hassles.
ECC with Epson digital
check imaging
You can realize even more ECC
savings with Epson’s TM-H6000III
with digital check imaging. Its exclu-
sive TransScan™ technology provides
an advanced solution that can read
MICR code and capture the complete
check image in a single step, reducing
check costs and processing time. By
capturing the complete check image,
you gain a powerful tool for reducing
bad check costs and collecting on
returned checks. The check image
also contains complete data on
fraudulent checks and their initiators,
providing legal evidence to facilitate
prosecution of those who commit
check fraud.
ECC with Epson digital check
imaging and ID scanning
Epson also offers the
TM-H6000III with
TransScan and ProofPlus™, an inte-
grated ID scanner that provides fast
and reliable ID capture at the point
of sale. With check fraud on the rise,
ID capture can play an important
role in both deterring and reducing
losses from bad checks. And for
merchants that need to enforce ID
collection policies on age-restricted
merchandise, ProofPlus can aid in
enforcing compliance and lowering
your liability. So you get all the
cost-saving benefits of ECC while
minimizing your losses due to check
fraud and ID collection issues.
With checks as the largest percent of non-cash payments,
ECC can have a major impact on your bottom line with
savings in check costs, increased funds availability and
reduced bad check losses.
