About MICR
Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR) is a technology developed in 1959 for use in auto-
mated processing of checks and other financial transactions. The MICR line, which appear across
the bottom of a check, allow sophisticated bank reader/sorters to rapidly process information.
MICR document processing is widely used because it has a very high reading accuracy. MICR accu-
racy is due in part to the magnetic quality of the ink. It is less sensitive to background color and
patterns common in checks, and can even be recognized when obscured by a piece of paper.
Kyocera MICR printers are specifically designed to print MICR checks and documents.

First Steps

When you set up your printer, we recommend you print at least 3 pages on normal paper to ensure
sufficient MICR toner yield before printing on check paper.
