• Lay the check on a flat, well-lit surface. If the check is crumpled or folded, do your best to flatten it out.
• If you have a check with a light background, be sure to take the picture on a solid, darker surface to show contrast between check and background.
• Be sure that all four corners of your check are entirely within the frame that is provided on the screen.
• Hold steady. Be sure that the check is not blurry.
• Avoid shadows.
