MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition.) Magnetic ink printing allows printed information to be read electronically. A special type of font of characters called E-13B is used for character recognition. E-13B characters are commonly referred to as MICR characters. The E-13B font consists of ten specially designed numbers (0 through 9) and four special symbols (Transit, Amount, On-Us and Dash) to make a total of 14 'MICR' characters.

MICR specifications cover the requirements for the physical characteristics of MICR characters and the character's placement on the document. Conformance to the MICR specifications helps ensure that the magnetic characters are capable of being read by a properly adjusted bank MICR reader/sorter.

MICR = Magnetic Ink Character Recognition. The use of special characters AND magnetic ink allowing "readers" to recognize numbers at high speed. Most bank checks and deposit slips employ the use of MICR. MICR ink is only available for Laser Printer. There is no MICR ink for Inkjet Printers and there is no use for MICR toner other then for printing checks or deposit slips.

MICR is an acronym for Magnetic Ink Character Recognition. It is the automation concept used by the banking industry. Every check has a unique style of numbers and symbols printed on the bottom in special ink with magnetic properties.This allows checks to be machine read and then routed by high-speed equipment. MICR is also our brand name. Incorporated in New York State in 1969 as MICR Data Systems, Inc., and now a division of Check Printers, Inc.

Yes, MICR toner is excellent for printing text and graphics as well as checks. By keeping the magnetic toner cartridge in the printer and not swapping it with a non-magnetic cartridge you decrease the possibility of accidentally printing checks with the wrong toner. It also reduces wear and tear on the printer.

This is required so that the MICR line at the bottom of the cheque can be read by the proof machines which process the cheque through the banking system.

MICR stands for Magnetic Ink Character Recognition. The MICR Imaging process uses a Common Machine Language composed of special characters. The most common use of MICR toners is electronic check and security documents printing. MICR toners, along with special firmware, software and paper, allow owners of desktop laser printers to print their own checks on demand which can provide substantial savings.
