MICR Features: Description & Benefit
Security & compliance
| MICR Feature | Description | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| E13B Font | Widely accepted MICR font used for printing MICR encoded documents in multiple regions. | Meets specification requirements for MICR font and helps processing checks through the system. |
| CMC7 Font | Alternative MICR font used to print MICR encoded documents in many regions (numeric character set). | Meets international standards (ISO 1004). |
| Secure Numeric Font | Designed to be difficult to alter; uses special background and very small text embedded in the amount line of the check. | Additional document-level security; minimizes risk of fraud. |
| Microprint Font | Extremely small type enables embedded micro text and numbers on MICR documents; denoted by “MP”. | Additional document-level security; minimizes risk of fraud. |
| ICR Numeric Font | Image readable secure font designed to be read by imaging equipment used by many financial institutions. | Additional document-level security; minimizes risk of fraud. |
| Front Security Panel Lock | Additional security beyond password protection; requires entry of a digit combination prior to printing. | Additional document-level security; minimizes risk of fraud. |
| Set Copies to One (1) | Setting that tells the printer to print the job only once. | Prevents fraud by disallowing multiple copies of a document. |
| Auto Jam Recovery Disable | Turns Jam Recovery OFF when checks are being printed. | Prevents multiple copies of a check from being printed. |
| Password Protection | Protects access to check-printing resources (e.g., stored signatures, MICR fonts, overlays) without proper password. | Prevents unauthorized access to MICR and secure fonts and other resources. |
| MICR Toner Detection | Detects whether MICR toner or regular toner is installed in the printer. | Prevents MICR printing with regular toner (helps avoid costly rejects). |
| Toner Low Warnings | Printer alerts user when MICR toner is low. | Ensures quality MICR printing. |
| AES & DES Encryption/Decryption | Decrypts the print data stream while it is being transmitted to the printer. | High level of security; printer decrypts code prior to printing. |
| Audit Trail | Creates user-defined reports of check printing activity for auditing purposes. | Gives a written record of check printing activity. |
| 3 Year MICR Guarantee (ANSI/ABA) | Ensures readability and performance of MICR printers. | Ensures the quality of printed negotiable documents. |
| Auto Density Control for Toner | Ensures conformance to signal strength standards throughout cartridge life. | Ensures conformance and bank acceptance. |
| Originally Manufactured MICR Toner Cartridge | Cartridges are built and tested using MICR toner. | No “refilled”/“remanufactured” cartridges to reduce potential problems affecting printer life. |
| Regulated Fuser Temperature | Fusing temperature controlled to match MICR toner and check stock paper weights. | Improves toner adherence; reduces exposure to fraud due to less toner lift off. |
| Tray Locking | Key lock on printer and expansion drawers. | Prevents fraud by keeping check stock safe and helps prevent check paper waste. |
| MICRpoint | Allows fine tuning of the position of the MICR line. | Accounts for minor variation between printers; helps avoid printing out of checks. |
| Datastream Tray Protection | Limits the ability of non-MICR jobs to print from specified trays. | Helps keep regular office documents from printing on check stock and reduces reprints/misfeeds. |
