Inspecting documents

7-12
Always check for obvious problems first.
• Make sure that you are looking at the right documents.
• Check for the following:
– Correct font
– MICR clear band intrusion
– Correct vertical or horizontal position of font
– Correct format (for example, was the Amount field printed
twice—by you and the bank?)
– Document damage (folds, tears, edge damage)
– Smears on the MICR line, or crayoning

Correct font placement or format

Always use a MICR font. Ask yourself the following questions:
• Was a non-qualified font purchased and installed from a
source other than Xerox?
• Is the font in the correct position?
• How was the positioning determined?
• Has the positioning been modified by a font editor?
• Was the information about the MICR line content and
structure obtained directly from the bank, or was an old
document used as a model? Either the hardcopy directions
may be wrong, or the old model document may be obsolete.

MICR character defects

Check the MICR characters for the following:
• Voids
• Spots
• Density loss
• Trail edge deletion
• Dry ink depletion
• Wear
