Newbie - check formatting

Hi Dave,

Your question made it to the list.  The lack of a response implies that
nobody really knows the answer.  The author of the check printing code
isn't around anymore, and I suspect nobody else has really looked deeply
into it.

I would propose that you try it out and see what you get?  Use blank
paper instead of checks in your testing.  I would guess that jpg, png,
ps, and pdf are all valid forms, but I don't know for sure.  Once you
test various forms you should come back and let everyone know!

Good Luck,

-derek
