Basic initial troubleshooting: Move the signature pad to a different USB port Move the pad to a different workstation that has a working model If the workstation isn’t capturing the signature, but it is visible on the pad, try refreshing the SigPlus.ini file (see Related Link below). If nothing is captured on the pad, remove the batteries and the tip from the pen. Place the batteries back in, then gently slide the tip back in. Often the pen tip will not make the connection needed to star  More...

To test the pen independently, you can use any standard compact battery-operated or plug-in AM/FM radio. Follow these steps: a. Turn radio on to the AM band b. Move dial to about 550 (or 55, depending on radio controls); between stations is best, where there is static d. Bring the pen up to the radio, and depress the tip directly on radio's surface, about 1 to 2 inches from antenna (if there is no antenna, on the speaker grill will work also). If pen is working, the radio will emit a high-pit  More...

1. Make sure the pad is connected to a known working PC, not a laptop. 2. Connect the pad using a Y adaptor. This Y adaptor should have a serial connection on one end and both a serial and PS/2 connection on the other. Connect the single Serial end to the Pad and the other serial connection to the computer. Next connect the PS/2 connection to a free PS/2 port on the computer. This is required to supply the pad with the necessary power. If there is a conflict with port availability adapters are a  More...

Unwanted Topaz Systems Driver files may be located in a few different locations depending upon which version of windows you have. You will likely need to be logged on as a local administrator to remove them. They can exist on any workstation running ProDOC regardless of whether or not a signature pad is attached. For Windows 7 or 8 The current version in use should be located here: C:\Windows\SigPlus\SigPlus.ocx and should not be removed. Before you begin make sure this is version 4.4.0.22 o  More...

Previously, credit unions used Code 38 for “Return to Maker”, but this code is no longer available in the system. This change was initiated by a Reg CC change in 2018. Now, if you are presented with a situation where you need to return a check to another institution, it is recommended that you use one of these codes to clarify the reason for the check return. Some codes allow you to make the change in CU*BASE. Others require that you contact your Check Item Processor. Read below for   More...

These symbols print when the printer doesn't know what graphic or font to use for the logo, signature, or MICR line. There are a few possible causes: Is this a new printer? If this is a new printer, the first thing to consider is whether the other printers at the credit union use Check Secure devices. Check Secure devices are no longer sold and are not compatible with new printer hardware. To transition from Check Secure devices to the new software based check printing methods, contact CU  More...

What this indicates is that your workstation is missing a critical file that allows ProDOC to look for a signature pad. This file needs to exist even if your workstation does not utilize a signature pad. To correct the issue, follow these steps: Log into the workstation as an administrator Browse to your iSweep (if you need assistance browsing to your iSweep  More...

Yes, and you can even do both in-person and eSignatures on the same document, such as if you have the primary member in your branch but their co-borrower is not able to come in to the branch. You’ll simply uncheck that signer name when setting up the e-signing. Just remember to gather all your in-person signatures before sending out for e-signing, because you can’t capture in-person signatures once e-signing has begun.

The document will be available for 90 days, and your employees can monitor the status of documents to follow up as needed.

To update a signature line in CU*BASE, you’ll use the Tool #497 Member Connect Marketing Tools . (You will need a file name to move forward, so it can be helpful to have a test file created in your QUERYxx library for situations like this.) NOTE: For Member Reach clients, Xtend has previously created a file ‘MBRRTEST’ that will allow you to access the Message Maintenance screen.

Credit Union ABC has activated the Reg E opt in/opt out feature and has configured a NSF fee. John Smith, a member of ABC Credit Union, has elected to opt out of receiving overdraft services. John will not be charged an NSF fee on one-time PIN ATM Debit (13) and Debit Signature (16) transactions. John will be charged an NSF fee on any recurring PIN ATM Debit (13) and Debit Signature (16) transactions, which are not covered by the member's Reg E opt in/opt out setting.

The first thing to do is make sure all the cables are connected securely to the printer and the PC. Be sure to note if one of the cables is a network cable. If all of the cables are securely connected and you still cannot print, restart the PC and the printer. If you receive the same error once the printer and PC are back up, there is likely a hardware issue with the printer. If one of the cables that plugs into the printer is a network cable then the Jet Direct card (a network interface   More...

IMPORTANT NOTE: When It’s Me 247 was updated in 2021, the “See” option shown on here was made unavailable. There are two major points to consider when thinking about allowing members to see information beyond the account to which they are actually logged in.

To take advantage of the CU*Answers online imaging solution, there are a few required pieces of hardware. Each branch will each need an Gweep upload appliance to transfer the electronic images to the secure database. Additionally, scanners are needed to capture photo IDs (and supporting documents for loans), and signature pads are needed at each workstation where receipts are signed. Thermal printers are required for the system. These hardware devices are described in more detail below: Gweep U  More...

There are two steps: Choose Which Activity is Tracked Modify your NSF Configuration (Tool #558 NSF/OD Transfer Configuration , then #1) to indicate which origin codes will be counted in the fee totals.

The costs associated with implementing the e-Receipts and Photo ID Capture system include purchasing hardware and a one time implementation cost. The following hardware needs to be purchased: an iSweep appliance for each branch, electronic signature pads, photo ID scanners, and thermal printers (if needed).

The COOP National Shared Branch interface (CUSC/FISC) currently supports check disbursements but not money orders. Following is a technique that was shared with us by a credit union to offer shared branch members the ability to purchase money orders. Locate the account from which funds are coming, and make sure enough funds are available for both the money order and the fee. Run an OFAC scan and complete any paperwork and obtain signatures your credit union requires according to policy. In   More...

Following are recommendations for handling situations when a member wants to set up a membership where the primary member and the first joint owner are, in essence, the same person. This happens most often for trust accounts. Currently in CU*BASE there are two ways to handle trusts: For trusts that use a person’s SSN (where you do not have a separate TIN for the trust), set up th  More...
