Bank Checks Have A Standard Arrangement - IBM 3270 Operator's Manual

Figure 2-3 .. The image on your screen might look like this.
As you can see, the display image looks much like information typed on a sheet
of paper. Notice, too, that the organization and content of this form are no
different from the organization and content of handwritten and hand-processed
documen~s.
The same type of information is always recorded in the same areas.
This is true of all documents, as can be seen by examining the arrangement of a
standard bank check (Figure 2-4).

Figure 2-4. Bank checks have a standard arrangement.
The upper-right portion is usually reserved for the date. The center is for the
name of the party to whom the check is made payable and the amount of the
check. The lower-right portion usually contains the space for the signature of
the person writing the check.
