Selecting MICR fonts

Checking the font version

Selecting the wrong font can result in improper signal strength and high reject rates at the bank. To make sure that you have the font that you want, print a question mark, ?, in the MICR line. While the resulting document does not have a valid MICR line, the printed font is obvious. You can also print a test pattern. Refer to “Printing MICR test forms,” for the procedure.

The test forms contain font version information: the font name, revision character (if applicable), and the datastream type (PS, PCL, LCDS).

The following table shows the version information that is displayed on the test form for each font:
