The 96 MICR IPS, 4635 MICR IPS, and 180 MICR IPS produce a
magnetic ink character recognition (MICR) line on negotiable and
turnaround documents such as checks and bills. The 96/4635/180
MICR IPS prints documents using magnetic ink and special fonts to
create machine-readable information that allows for quick document
processing.
In general, MICR is used to print accounting and routing information
on blank checks and other negotiable documents, the magnetic
encoding capabilities can be used for any printed output.
For more information on creating MICR documents and using MICR
tools, refer to the Generic MICR Fundamentals Guide, publication
number 721P14083, provided with your IPS.
The 96, 4635, and 180 MICR IPS meet ABA standards and ANSI and
ISO specifications for automatic check handling. These printing
systems print the MICR line and the rest of the check at the same
time, which reduces processing time and cost. Their special features
include the following.
MICR fonts Xerox provides a set of 300 dpi MICR fonts for use on the 96/4635/
180 MICR IPS. You must use only these Xerox-supplied MICR fonts
