MICR output verification tools
The MICR Positioning and Dimension Gauge (part number: 600T80025) is included in the MICR font and documentation kit that is shipped with your MX printing system.

Security
Security (audit control) in the printing environment refers to the features that prevent unauthorized access to privileged data or forms that are not intended for general use.
There are many techniques available to protect checks and other valuable documents after the printing cycle. While no security method provides absolute protection, any feature that makes a check harder to alter or reproduce is desirable, so long as it does not impair the automated processing of the document.
Physical security
The primary aspects of physical security for the MX printers include:
•Physical access to the printer
•Access to fonts, logos, and forms
•Securing paper stock
•Responsible presence
