This
MICR e13b font (also often called MICR font, or E-13B
font) is necessary to print numbers and special symbols
at the bottom of checks so they can be recognized by the
OCR/magnetic ink reader systems used by banks in North
America (US and Canada) and other countries such as UK
and Malta. In the past, these fonts where supplied as
cartridges. Thanks to modern technology, these fonts are
now available for Windows, Macintosh, OS/2, Linux.
How
does
it
work ?
This
MICR
font
comes in both TrueType and OTF PostScript, for Windows
or Macintosh. It is installed just like any other
fonts. Once installed, it is available to all
applications in the system, like Helvetica, Arial,
Times New Roman, Courier...
To
create
the
proper magnetic stripe, one needs numbers, and
separator symbols. The separators are " # $ % or ABCD.
Below
is
an example of the data one would enter in a plain
font, to get the same as the bottom of a check :
%322270055%
#325070760#
8888888888%
All
you
have
to do, is to copy on the screen what you see at the
bottom of your own checks ! This data can be entered
by hand, or suplied by any database or spreadsheet
program.
Tests
on
a variety of current laser printers have showed
constant results, within MICR tolerance, measured with
standard test gauges. This font meets or exceed ANSI
Standard and the ABA (American Banking Association)
standards.
What
do
I
need besides the font ?
To
print
reliable MICR strips, a laser printer with special
MICR toner must be used. This special toner works
perfectly for other applications as well . Some ink
jet printers (mainly high end) can also be used with
MICR toner.
Check
paper
is
not mandatory, and valid checks can be produced on
plain paper stock, but they will look more
professional on a medium meant for this. You can find
check refill at major office supply retailers, such as
Office Depot, Stapples, etc, in several presentations
: 1 per page, three per page, etc. It is also easy to
find at any reputable online or mail order office
supply.
See
our
links page
for MICR toner and check stock suppliers.
To
make
sure you have placed the MICR fields right, and
everything checks out with your design, the best desk
test tool is a MICR
E13 Gauge, which shows you instantly if the
check layout is correct.
Setting
up
applications
It
is
easy to create checks from any program, including the
simplest word processors (a Word template document is
provided with the package). The MICR font is available
to all standard applications, as a regular system
font.
Other
applications
well suited for check printing are database programs,
such as Crystal Reports or Access for Windows, or
ACI's 4D for Macintosh. Spreadsheet programs and their
data merge can also be used successfully. Basically,
any program that can print numbers and text can be
used. Including the simplest like WordPad and
SimpleText, or the most sophisticated, like Desktop
Publishing Programs such as PageMaker™, Adobe
InDesign, or XPress.
