4. Quality Issues

A high quality MICR document can be read by bank reader/sorter equipment many times with no readability issues and does not result in damage to bank equipment. This quality is the result of a well designed printer, an originally manufactured MICR toner cartridge and high quality check stock.

Printer Features

Your Secure MICR Printer is equipped with some features to ensure high quality MICR documents.

Paper Type

We recommend paper trays with check stock be set to “bond” paper type. The associated “weight” and “texture” settings should be set to “heavy” and “rough.” See the base printers User’s Guide. If more than one input tray has check stock and they are the same stock, set all to “bond” and they will be linked. If different stock is used in more than one input tray, use “custom” type, “rough” and “heavy” to block Linking.

MICR Toner Low Alarm

When MICR toner is low, the printer stops and the user is prompted to load a new MICR toner cartridge. We do not recommend shaking the cartridge to prolong its life. Once low toner is sensed, there may not be enough MICR toner left to produce quality MICR documents.

MICR Toner Sensing

When the printer enters MICR mode and attempts to print a MICR font, it checks to ensure a MICR toner cartridge is loaded in the printer. If a regular cartridge is present, an alarm will sound and the user must load a MICR cartridge before their print job will resume. A message “load MICR Toner” will appear on the Operator’s Panel.

MICR Toner

Use only Source Technologies MICR toner when printing MICR documents. It is specifically engineered to print quality MICR documents with your printer. The printers’ MICR toner sensor is designed to work with the Source Technologies MICR toner cartridge to prevent printing checks with regular toner present. You may choose to use this printer for general office printing, which is acceptable. If a MICR print job begins and the printer has a regular toner cartridge present, the printer will stop and prompt the operator to install a MICR toner cartridge.

Source Technologies does not recommend the use of refilled MICR toner cartridges. Although refilled cartridges are generally less expensive, they may result in expensive printer repairs and bank check reject fees due to inferior MICR toner formulation.
