Validation System - CPS/Validator™
Cheque Validation System - CPS/Validator™ is a system for validating the form, the layout and the code line printing quality of bank and private cheques.
Hellenic Bank Association - HBA and European Central Bank have issued specifications on the form, the layout and the code line printing quality of cheques that are drown in EURO - € currency.
Operations departments of banks that permit qualified customers to print in house their own private cheques using account numbers and cheque numbers given by the bank, can use CPS/Validator™ in order to validate the compliance of these cheques with HBA, ECB and Euro-cheque specifications.
The system can be use also in cases where the bank has outsourced cheque book printing to a printing house. In this case the bank will use the system for sampling check over the printing house production.
The system consists of a document scanner and the accompanied software application.

Cheque Validation System R 2.50.xx
- Checks
- Code line position
Start of the code line at the x,y point according to the standard.
- Code line length and height
Length and height of the code line according to the font and the font points specified by the standard (OCRB, 10cpi).
- Code line reading
Reading - transformation of the code line to electronic text assuming that OCRB font has been used.
- Code line number of characters
Calculation of the number of code line characters and comparison with the min and max number of characters defined in the standard.
- Code line analysis and check digit calculation
Analysis of the code line to the corresponding five fields, recalculation of the check digits according to the standard and comparison of the check digits values with the ones that are included in the code line.
- Results
- Pass
All check results performed are compliant with the standard.
- Fail
At least one check result is not compliant with the standard In this case, the reason of failure appears to the user.
