Which check processing document specifies guidelines for digital image formats?

1. X9.100-140

2. X9.100-181

3. X9.100-187

4. X9.100-188

The correct answer is: X9.100-181

The document that specifies guidelines for digital image formats is indeed X9.100-181. This standard provides comprehensive details on the format and requirements for electronic check processing, particularly focused on the digital images of checks. By establishing a consistent framework for how these images should be formatted, the standard facilitates interoperability among different financial institutions and ensures that electronic check processing is both efficient and effective. While other documents like X9.100-140, X9.100-187, and X9.100-188 each address different aspects of check processing, they do not focus specifically on the digital image formats as X9.100-181 does. Understanding this standard is crucial for professionals in the check processing industry to ensure compliance and effective utilization of digital check images.
