Parsing the Check Serial Number

The printer firmware will look for the number in these spots, using the
following ordered algorithm. The examples use letters to represent symbols on
the check:

t

c

x

Transit symbol

Dash

A number bracketed by “on us” symbols in the auxiliary “on us” field is the
check serial number.
