Generic MICR Fundamentals Guide
Printing on a Xerox MICR printing system raises some additional
application considerations.
Two sided (duplex) printing may be used in a MICR application,
but the forms design and the application structuring require care.
• The reverse side of the clear band must not contain any
magnetic printing. The only magnetic printing that is
permitted in the clear band on either side of the sheet is the
MICR line.
• The MICR line should be printed on the first imaged side of
the duplex sheet.
• The endorsement area on the back of the check must be kept
free of any printing that would interfere with bank
endorsements.
NOTE: This information is applicable only if your system
supports duplex printing.
If you are using perforated forms, the perforation must not
interfere with the clear band area. Therefore, it should not be
underneath the MICR line. Refer to "Perforation" in chapter 3,
"Paper facts," for guidelines for using perforations.
For a check printing operation, several check documents can be
printed on each sheet. This is called "multiple-up" or "multi-up"
printing, which means that one or more logical pages are printed
on one physical page. Perforated paper is often used to separate
the documents or they may be separated after printing by gang-
cutting or slitting the sheets.
The following figure shows some possible sheet layouts for
multiple-up printing.
