check writer

Signs the payment

A check writer is a mechanical device that imprints amounts on checks in raised, perforated characters to prevent alteration—common in business offices before electronic payments.

The term also refers simply to a person who writes checks: The store stopped accepting checks after too many bad check writers passed through.
