and drying. A major cause of paper handling problems in

The sunken impression of a printed character on a paper
document. Debossment is caused on the face of a document by
impact processes that may use an excessive amount of pressure
to imprint the character on the document. Debossment that is in
excess of .001-inch in depth may cause a significant decrease in
the measured magnetic signal level of the affected MICR
characters. (See embossment.)
The shape of a character measured within the space that it
occupies.
One or more recorded or printed pages forming a logical whole.
A unit of measurement representing the smallest unit of image
placement (also referred to as "spots").

serial symbol. (Australia)

An extremely smooth paper, highly resistant to liquids, for use in
spirit (alcohol) duplicating machines.
The type of font used in magnetic ink printing. Use of the term
E13B generally implies both the character shape as well as the
