Abstract:
A check processing system comprising:a check processing transport including (i) means defining a document transport path along which documents can be transported, and (ii) a check processing hardware device disposed along the document transport path for processing a document moving along the document transport path; memory means for (i) storing a first transport configuration set of parameters which is representative of the check processing hardware device being of a first device type, (ii) storing a second transport configuration set of parameters which is representative of the check processing hardware device being of a second device type which is different from the first device type, and (iii) storing an executable transport application program; and control means including (i) means for enabling the check processing transport to be controlled in accordance with execution of the transport application program based upon the first transport configuration set of parameters when the check processing hardware device disposed along the document transport path is of the first device type, (ii) means for enabling the check processing transport to be controlled in accordance with execution of the transport application program based upon the second configuration set of parameters when the check processing hardware device disposed along the document transport path is of the second device type, and (iii) means for enabling the check processing hardware device disposed along the document transport path to be changed between one of the first and second device types and the other one of the first and second device types without having to reprogram the transport application program when the change is made.
