X9.100-110-2021 (R202x), Document Imaging Compatibility (reaffirmation of ANSI X9.100-110-2021)

This standard specifies the location and background design of essential check data fields and is intended for all business size and personal size checks. Note that this standard equally applies to anything in between, in terms of document size, including all money orders, rebate checks, remotely created checks (commonly known as RCCs), WIC checks, etc. They may fall anywhere in between the referenced common sizes but must also conform to the limitations of the MICR printing as specified in ANS X9.100-160-1, Magnetic Ink Printing (MICR). 

X9.100-181-2014 (R202x), TIFF Image Format for Image Exchange (reaffirmation of ANSI X9.100-181-2014 (R2021))

This standard, as well as other standards, defines TIFF 6.0 as an image format scheme that will support interoperability for check image exchange processing between financial institutions without the need of special agreement. Although TIFF is a defined specification, it is very flexible and is designed to accommodate a variety of uses. In addition, some TIFF field values can have different interpretations. Therefore, this flexibility can cause some TIFF readers, internal TIFF editors and image applications to experience problems when they encounter a condition which they are not designed to handle. Many TIFF readers in use in the financial industry do not support all interpretations of TIFF generated by the diverse range of check image capture devices and software platforms.
