Private Sub ExtractToFile (file As String, page As Integer, fileOut As String)
  Dim reader As New CcMicrReader
  Dim checkImage As CiImage
  reader.Image.Open file, 1
  Set checkImage = reader.ExtractCheck
  If (Not checkImage Is Nothing) Then
    checkImage.SaveAs fileOut
    ' To obtain check image geometrical information
    ' Position: reader.MicrLine(1).Document.Left, reader.MicrLine(1).Document.Top, reader.MicrLine(1).Document.Right, reader.MicrLine(1).Document.Bottom
    ' Skew: reader.MicrLine(1).Document.Skew
    ' Rotation: Choose(reader.MicrLine(1).Document.Conf, "None", "Upside Down", "Left", "Right", "Unknown")
  End If
End Sub
