MICR Features
Descriptions & benefits
| MICR Feature | Description | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| E13B Font | Widely accepted MICR font used in printing MICR-encoded documents in the US, Canada, Mexico, the Far-East, and some other countries. | Meets ASC X9B/US specifications for MICR font and is necessary to process checks through the system. |
| CMC7 Font | Alternative MICR font used to print MICR-encoded documents in many European and most Latin American countries (numeric character set only). | Meets international standards (ISO 1004). |
| Secure Numeric Font | Secure font designed to be difficult to alter, using special background and micro text/numeric print in the amount line. | Additional document-level security; minimizes risk of fraud. |
| Microprint Font | Extremely small type allows embedding micro text and numbers inside printed lines; denoted by “MP”. | Additional document-level security; minimizes risk of fraud. |
| ICR Numeric Font | Image-readable secure font designed to be read by imaging equipment used by many financial institutions. | Additional document-level security; minimizes risk of fraud. |
| Front Security Panel Lock | Additional security beyond password protection; user enters an 8-digit combination prior to printing. | Additional document-level security; minimizes risk of fraud. |
| Set Copies to one (1) | A PCL setting that tells the printer to print the job only once. | Prevents fraud by disallowing multiple copies of a document. |
| Auto Jam Recovery Disable | Automatically turns Jam Recovery OFF when checks are being printed. | Prevents multiple copies of a check from being printed. |
| Password Protection | Prevents access to check-printing resources (stored signatures, MICR fonts, overlays) without the proper password. | Prevents unauthorized access to MICR/secure fonts, signatures, and overlays. |
| MICR Toner Detection | Detects whether MICR toner or regular toner is installed. | Prevents MICR printing with regular toner, helping avoid costly rejects. |
| Toner Low Warnings | Printer alerts user when MICR toner is low. | Ensures quality MICR printing. |
| AES & DES Encryption/Decryption | Decrypts the print data stream while it is being transmitted to the printer. | High level of security; printer decrypts prior to printing. |
| Audit Trail | Creates user-defined reports of check-printing activity for auditing purposes. | Provides a written record of check printing activity. |
| 3 Year MICR Guarantee to ANSI/ABA Standards | Ensures readability and performance of MICR printers. | Ensures quality of printed negotiable documents. |
| Auto Density Control for Toner | Ensures conformance to signal strength standards throughout cartridge life. | Helps ensure conformance and bank acceptance. |
| Originally Manufactured MICR Toner Cartridge | Cartridges are built and tested using MICR toner. | Avoids refilled/remanufactured cartridge risks that could damage the printer. |
| Regulated Fuser Temperature | Fusing temperature controlled to match MICR toner and check-stock paper weights. | Maximizes toner adherence; reduces toner lift-off risk. |
| Tray Locking | Key lock on printer and expansion drawers. | Helps keep check stock secure and reduces check paper waste. |
| MICRpoint | Allows fine tuning of the position of the MICR line. | Accounts for minor variations between printers; helps avoid rejects. |
| Datastream Tray Protection | Limits non-MICR jobs from printing from specified trays. | Helps prevent regular documents from printing on check stock; reduces reprints and misuse. |
