MICR tools

You can use the following tools to determine whether the MICR output is printing within MICR specifications:

•

•

MICR Positioning and Dimension Gauge.

8 Power (X) Comparator with MICR grid.

Note: You should use the Custom Transfer Assist Blade to ensure acceptable MICR line quality on all MICR printing systems that use nonstandard paper sizes.

MICR Positioning and Dimension Gauge

The MICR Positioning and Dimension Gauge (part number 600T80025) consists of a thin sheet of flexible plastic attached to the bottom of a piece of hard thick plastic. The gauge is provided in a kit that includes a small magnifying glass.

To use the gauge, place the printed output between the two pieces of plastic. This allows you to compare the MICR output elements against industry standard output. Using this process, you can verify the character spacing, check the horizontal and vertical alignment, and look for spots and voids.

MICR comparator

You use the eight power (X) comparator with MICR grid to compare the characters on the MICR output to industry standard output.

The comparator is an optical tool that magnifies each character eight times. It has a built-in scale that measures the size of the MICR characters and checks for spots and voids (deletions).

Keep the following in mind when using the 8 Power (X) Comparator with MICR grid:

•

•

Patterned paper can cause viewing problems. You should use white paper when you perform quality evaluations.

The quality of the MICR output may vary, depending on the type of paper you use.

•Handle the comparator with care. The grid is printed on the bottom and may be damaged or worn off in time.

You can use the comparator with transmitted or reflected light.
