Generic MICR Fundamentals Guide
The use of conventional computer impact printing technology for
MICR encoding, using a print chain with the E13B characters on
it and a special ribbon impregnated with magnetic material.
A numbering system that identifies the issuing bank.
Bond paper having a surface design and/or hidden warning
indicator to identify any attempt at fraudulent alteration.
See domestic field. (Australia)
Often used to refer to the sequential check or document number
found in the auxiliary domestic and extra auxiliary domestic
fields. (Australia)
See domestic symbol.
A device for measuring the roughness or smoothness of a paper.
Higher numbers indicate rougher papers.
The current (or equivalent voltage) produced by a magnetic ink
character in a reader/sorter or signal reader. Each character has
a nominal peak signal level (designated in the ANSI
specification), as well as an acceptable signal level range. This is
also called "signal strength."
See waveform reader sorters.
Resin that is added to papers during manufacturing to increase
the paper's resistance to liquid penetration. Also helps prevent
feathering or fraying.
Allowable tilt or angle of a character, to the left or right, measured
with respect to the bottom edge of the document.
The degree of continuous, even finish on paper.
The degree to which paper resists bending.
The weight in pounds of a ream of paper cut to 17 by 22 inch/432
by 559 mm standard size for business papers. Similar to basis
weight of other types of paper.
Term indicating how well fibers and chemicals are bonded to the
surface of a paper. Papers with low surface strength may release
fibers and particles in the printer, causing machine
contamination.
An E13B character separating the fields or separating digits
within a field. U.S. symbols are amount, On-Us (domestic),
transit, and dash.
A measure of paper's resistance to tearing.
