How to Create a Digital Signature

Here are the step-by-step instructions, as recommended by Mekorma, to provide the digital signatures you want to print on your checks:

1. Print out our Template for Gathering Signatures.
   

2. Ask each check signer to reproduce their signature within a rectangle.

3. Scan each signed sheet of paper onto a computer.

4. Open the signatures one at a time in Microsoft Paint.

5. Click the Selection drop-down and choose Rectangle.
   

6. Draw the selection box around the signature as closely as possible and then click Crop. The cropped signature should look similar to the example below:
   

7. Open the Resize and Skew window. Under Resize, select Pixels. Be sure that Maintain aspect ratio is selected. Adjust either the horizontal or vertical dimensions to approximately 220 × 50 pixels.
   

8. Save your signature as a JPEG (jpg) or 16 Color Bitmap (bmp) file. These file formats produce the best results for check printing.

9. Repeat these steps for each signature, and store them in a location accessible to an administrator for use in Business Central.
