Character-to-character spacing

Generic MICR Fundamentals Guide
2. Hold the document firmly so that it does not slip. The bottom
of the document should now bisect the vertical skew scales
below boxes 10 and 46. The scales are graduated in 0.5
degree divisions from 0 (not marked) to 2.5 degrees (also not
marked).
3. Write down, to the nearest degree, where the document
bisects the skew scales.
4. Subtract the smaller degree number from the larger. The
remainder is the degree of line skew.
Line skew in excess of 1.5 degrees may cause characters to be
out of the MICR vertical registration specification.
Character-to-character spacing is the distance from the right
edge of one MICR character to the right edge of the next. This
distance is 0.125 inch/3.175 mm with a tolerance of ±0.010 inch/
0.25 mm. Each character box on the bottom of the gauge is
0.125 inch/3.175 mm wide, as shown in the following figure.
