Identifying duplicate printed paper cash letters
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for identifying duplicate printed cash letters, comprising the steps of:
- reading information in a printed machine-readable identifier comprising information identifying a cash letter associated with the printed machine-readable identifier;
determining whether the cash letter was printed twice by comparing the read information with information stored in a record; and
outputting an alert to advise an operator that the cash letter was printed twice in response to determining that the cash letter was printed twice.

Abstract
A printed cash letter includes a machine-readable identifier, such as a barcode, identifying the cash letter. Upon printing, information from the identifier is read and stored in a first record. To determine whether the cash letter is a duplicate, a check presentment module compares information from the identifier with information in the first record. If information identifying the cash letter already exists in the first record, the cash letter is a duplicate. To verify cash letter printing, information identifying multiple cash letters to be printed is stored in a second record. Upon printing a portion of the cash letters, information read from identifiers on the printed cash letters is compared with information in the second record. If the second record includes information regarding a cash letter not identified in the information scanned from the barcodes, then the check presentment module identifies the cash letter as having not been printed.
