STEP 6: Check the MICR Print Quality

Maintaining high-quality MICR printing is vital to error-free reader/sorter processing of your checks at the bank. TROY’s Security Printing Solutions have been consistently shown to have the lowest bank reject rates in the industry. Poor MICR print quality will cause your checks to be rejected by the bank’s automatic MICR readers, and therefore, you may incur significant manual processing fees from your bank for each rejected check. The TROY MICR Quality Document is resident in your TROY printer and can be printed out at any time using the TROY Printer Utility or printer control panel. Use the TROY MICR Quality Document as a reference to evaluate the general print quality of your TROY Security Printing Solution.

PRINT THE TROY MICR QUALITY DOCUMENT:

NOTE: TROY Secure EX series printers must have the printer keylock switch set to “Print MICR” to enable printing of the MICR Quality Document.

1.From the Printer Utility Main Window, click on the printer you wish to manage.

2.If you have already set an administrator password, type the password into the password box at the bottom of the Main

Window. If a password is not set, then leave the password box blank.

3.From the Main Window, click on File, and then click on Print.

4.Click on Quality Document. Choose either the E-13B or CMC-7 version of this document. The printer will automatically print the TROY MICR Quality Document.

Identifying Print Defects

Continuous streaks and/or voids that appear on the MICR Quality Document are usually the result of a low toner condition. A scratch or other contamination on the surface of the optical drum inside the toner cartridge can also cause streaking and other print quality defects.

To ensure optimum MICR print quality, always use a TROY MICR toner cartridge with your TROY Security Printing Solution. Always replace the TROY MICR toner cartridge with a new TROY MICR toner cartridge when a low toner condition exists. MICR documents printed after a low toner condition occurs may not meet MICR specifications and cause your printed checks to be rejected, thereby incurring significant manual processing fees to you by your bank.

NOTE: If your TROY Security Printing Solution develops a noticeable print quality defect that cannot be corrected by replacing the MICR toner cartridge, the MICR Quality Document can be sent to TROY for evaluation. Do not continue to print MICR documents if print defects are present.
