- On the Outward page, click on the "Scan Cheques" menu. The User can start scanning the images of the cheques through the scanner connected to the computer. (Note: the scanner driver must be installed in the computer that the User wishes to use for scanning)
- Cheque images can be captured in either Individual or Bulk mode. After scanning, the scanned batches will be available for the User to perform data correction and supervisor verification.
