Works via the paypal app.

I knew that already, and that wasn't my question. I want to know why I can't use my PC and flatbed scanner to cash a check. After all, a flatbed scanner produces a better quality image than taking a picture of the check. I don't have a cell phone to run the app on.

Because that is not an option paypal offers, hence my answer to your question, and the information in the link.

And....you're welcome !
