• If the right edge of the transit symbol is not between the
dotted lines in boxes 42 and 43, the entire MICR line is out of
horizontal adjustment (too far to the left or right).
• If the MICR line is out of horizontal adjustment, but the rest of
the form is in the correct position, there is an error in the
software program.
• If all printing on the entire document is out of horizontal
adjustment, there is probably a registration problem.
Several documents should be checked before action is taken.
Compare actual documents with prints of the diagnostic MICR
line test pattern to help isolate printer and application software
problems.
Check for the following types of vertical variation:
• Vertical variation from character to character
• Proper vertical placement of the entire MICR line on the
document, or line vertical variation
