14.
The DocuPrint 96 MICR NPS, 4635 MICR NPS, and 180 MICR NPS
produce a magnetic ink character recognition (MICR) line on
negotiable and turnaround documents such as checks and bills. The
MICR NPS models print documents using magnetic ink and special
fonts to create machine-readable information that allows for quick
document processing.
Although, MICR is generally 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, provided with
your NPS.
Font availability The MICR fonts are supplied with the printer. PostScript and PCL
versions of the fonts are provided on a 3.5 inch floppy diskette.
Xerox provides a set of 300 dpi E13B MICR fonts for use on the
DocuPrint MICR NPS models. These fonts can be loaded onto a
DocuPrint NPS system using the font installation commands
described in the Guide to Configuring and Managing the System.
It is critical that the MICR font character raster patterns and metrics
not be modified in any way and that no new characters are added.
The MICR fonts supplied with the NPS must be used in order for the
Xerox MICR Guarantee to be valid. The Xerox supplied MICR fonts
are required to optimize the quality of the MICR line and to ensure
excellent performance.
