MICR font E13B for check number strips
$19.95 only, instant download
This MICR
e13b font (also often called MICR font, or E-13B font) is necessary to
print numbers and special symbols at the bottom of checks so they
can be recognized by the OCR/magnetic ink reader systems used by banks
in North America (US and Canada) and many other countries. In the past,
these fonts where supplied as cartridges. Thanks to modern technology,
these fonts are now available for Windows, Macintosh, OS/2, Linux.
How does
it work ?
The MICR
font comes in both TrueType, and ATM PostScript Type 1, for Windows or
Macintosh. It is installed just like any other fonts. Once installed,
it is available to all applications in the system, like Helvetica,
Arial, Times New Roman, Courier...
To create
the proper magnetic stripe, one needs numbers, and separator symbols.
The separators are " # $ % or ABCD.
Below is an
example of the data one would enter in a plain font, to get the same as
the bottom of a check :
%322270055%
#325070760# 8888888888%
All you
have to do, is to copy on the screen what you see at the bottom of your
own checks ! This data can be entered by hand, or suplied by any
database or spreadsheet program.
Tests on a
variety of current laser printers have showed constant results, within
MICR tolerance, measured with standard test gauges. These test gauges
meet or exceed ANSI Standard and the ABA (American Banking Association)
standards. You can also download our free evaluation sample for
Macintosh or Windows to try before you buy (see column left).
If you want
an even better precision, and a Calibration Wizard program, to be
aboslutely
sure of your printing chain, see http://ww.micr-fonts.com
for a much more complete package.
What do
I need besides the font ?
A laser
printer is necessary to print MICR strips. Ink Jet printers or
dotmatrix printers may not have the required resolution and cannot
print with magnetic ink. To print reliable MICR strips, a laser printer
with special MICR toner must be used, which is available from the
following companies (among others). This special toner works perfectly
for other applications as well.
Check stock
is not mandatory, and valid checks can be produced on plain paper
stock, but they will look more professional on a medium meant for this.
You can find check stock at major office supply retailers, such as
Office Depot, Stapples, etc, in several presentations : 1 per page,
three per page, etc. It is also easy to find at any reputable online or
mail order office supply.
To make
sure the placement of MICR fields is correct, as well as your printing
layout and character spacing, you can acquire the best desktop test
equipment : a MICR gauge. See E13BMICRGauge.com for more.
Setting
up applications
Checks can be created from any program,
including the simplest word processors (a Word template is provided
with the package). The MICR font is available to all standard
applications, as a regular system font.
Other
applications well suited for check printing are database programs, such
as Crystal Reports or Access for Windows, or ACI's 4D for Macintosh.
Spreadsheet programs and their data merge can also be used succesfully.
Basically, any program that can print numbers and text can be used.
Including the simplest like WordPad and SimpleText, or the most
sophisticated, like Desktop Publishing Programs such as PageMaker™,
Adobe InDesign, or XPress.
