Glossary-12
The composition and feel of the surface of a paper, such as
rough or smooth.
The abbreviation for the U.S. Technical Association of the Pulp
and Paper Industry which develops standardized test procedures
for various properties of paper.
The left edge of a check when its face is viewed.
The U.S. Federal Reserve System and drawee bank
identification information
A U.S. Federal Reserve district number that controls the routing
of a check through the banking system.
Any type of transaction requiring the recapture of data.
The absence of ink within the specified outline of the printed
MICR character.
A pantograph that produces the word "void" or other warning on
a copy of the original.
A form of draft, which in itself is not negotiable, that can be
converted into a negotiable instrument. Warrants are considered
"cash items" by banks.
A device which interprets MICR characters by measuring their
magnetic waveforms. These were the first type of MICR reading
devices used. An example model of this device is the NCR 6780.
These devices are also known as "single slot reader sorters."
During manufacturing of paper, the pulp mixture is poured onto a
screen so that the liquid drains out, leaving only the pulp, which
dries to form the paper. The side of the paper that is against the
screen is called the wire side. This side has a more pronounced
grain, fewer short fibers and less sizing than its opposite (felt)
side. Xerography prefers printing on this side of the paper.
A MICR test printing pattern used for ribbon encoding to check
for possible wear and tear in the print chain.
The device in reader/sorters that magnetizes the ink printed in
the clear band area of a MICR document.
Paper specifically designed to work in xerographic copiers, and
laser and ionographic printers. They are generally smoother than
other types of bonds.
