Duplicate printing of unit number and cheque number

[campbem]

Our blank checks come pre-printed with the unit number and the check number. Yet, LCR prints that information again on every check. The result is overwriting and misalignment, as the pre-printed and post-printed information doesn't line up. Is there a setting that allows the user to suppress the printing of the unit number and the cheque number? Or is this duplicative printing intentional, so that the check is spoiled if the pre-printed and post-printed unit numbers and check numbers don't match?

When I called support many years ago, back in the MLS days, about this same issue they said printing the unit number and the check number again on the checks was intentional. It is an accounting method for both the unit and headquarters to verify the unit issued the check stock is the one using the checks as well as an accounting for lost, missing, or stolen checks. This duplication of information on the check has no affect on the validity of the instrument. The printed information must not overprint any pre-printed information. If it does, then there is a printer alignment or some other printing adjustment that needs to be made.
