How Many Check Signer Machines Does Your Company Need?

If you find that you sign a lot of checks or documents manually, your company probably needs to upgrade to a check signer. These machines are designed to sign checks and documents clearly, quickly, and professionally. They have been in existence for years and there are numerous styles, brands, and types from which to choose, including wycom premier check signer.
 
Our wycom systems function in a similar manner as paper handling machines. That is, you place your document in one end and it will come out in the other. We recommend these machines for your company instead of e-signer machines because the process involved when using check signers hardly takes any time and the machines can sign a stack of checks in seconds.
 
If you're wondering how many machines your business needs, check out this guide, which reveals the different kinds and what to consider. 

Types of Signers 

Manual Signers 

Essentially, this electric machine has a signature plate. Therefore, you simply take the check and insert it into your machine before activating a switch, which will involve the stamp head. This is one of the most affordable systems and is perfect for a company that deals with low to medium-volume stamping.
 
With these types of machines, you can sign checks with double, single, or triple signatures that you can use with a three-color or solid ribbon. You can insert the signature plates vertically or horizontally and the switch is set to imprint a signature automatically.
 
You'll find that some brands have a dual-locking system whereby one lock switches off the electronics when it isn't in use while the other prevents unauthorized personnel from accessing the signature plate. This type also allows you to adjust the stamping pressure to accommodate varying thickness or paper. 

Continuous Forms Signers 

These signers purposely function with continuous paper, which has perforated edges and holes. Additionally, every sheet is joined to the next via perforation and frequently sits in an accordion-like manner in a stack. These signers are frequently incorporated with a burster to help "burst" or tear the forms apart.
 
Today, they're one of the most common kinds of signers used. If your company or business deals with contracts, legal documentation, payroll, or have to sign documents daily, we recommend you invest in this type of signer.
 
With this type, the signature plate applies signatures fast to various documents. Furthermore, they feature excellent quality and incorporate security features that prevent unauthorized access. Bear in mind that check signer machines only provide authorized access to the person permitted to use it through a key or typing a code.  

Cut Sheet Signers 

Wycom Check SignerYou can only use these signers with typical 81/2'' X 11'' or single-sheet documents. The machines feature a feed tray in which you can place the checks before a friction wheel pulls every document and signs one by one.
 
These machines are increasingly becoming popular because they function with checks printed on a normal laser printer. These signers include a dual lock for security reasons and provide accurate imprinting and signing.
 
It's important to note that these signers use some kind of signature plate whose shape is dependent on the machine using it. You'll find that some machines support one signature but several can support three or more.
 
Before you select, upgrade, or add these solutions to your company, we recommend you address these issues: 

The number of checks or documents you'll be stamping 

These machines range in terms of speed and volume. Consequently, some signers are more manual, and stamping can take place as fast as you can remove one check and insert another. However, most are very automatic and pull checks automatically. Some even run as fast as 325 signatures per minute. 

The type of paper 

Signers typically handle two kinds of paper: cut sheet and continuous forms. Cut sheet signers work with common cut/individual sheets while continuous signers work with accordion-style paper that's joined by a perforation, which you can tear apart later. 

The size of the checks 

Checks differ in size with the most common being 31/2 inches in length. Nevertheless, most signers will enable the adjustment of the signature's position and the spacing between the checks. Ensure you examine the specification to establish whether it will accommodate your check size.
 
If your company needs to sign several checks in a short period, our check signing solutions will save you valuable time, so just give us a call.
