• Advanced precise design - The font named IDAutomationMICR was created to precisely match each of the printer's pixels when printing at 300 dpi or 300 dpi multiple above that. This precise font pixel mapping makes use of our patent pending font technology. Using this precise MICR font, it should no longer be necessary to calibrate the font to the printer or use different fonts on different printers, unless the printer is out of alignment. For printers that are out of alignment, additional fonts are provided (in the Additional Fonts folder) with a calibration tool.
• Bank Check Design and Printing Software Included - With the 2006 release of this product, IDAutomation now provides software that can be used to easily design and print bank checks in Windows. The software supports importing of graphic images for signatures and logos and has many powerful features such as VB scripting and database connectivity to CSV files, Excel, Access, Oracle and SQL Server. For more information, view the Bank Check Design and Printing Application user manual.
• MICR Print Specifications Included - These specifications are a summary of the placement requirements obtained from the ABA (American Banker's Association).
• Created from ANSI and ISO specifications - IDAutomation's MICR E13B fonts were created according to ISO 1004:1995 and meet the ANSI X9.27-1995 specification for MICR E13B. Because they were created from the ISO specification, the fonts meet the E13-B specification for other countries as well; some examples include Australian APCA Pub 3.3 and Canadian Payments Association Standard 006 Specification for MICR-Encoded Cheques. These fonts have been in use since 1998 in various check printing software programs and have been proven to pass the ABA banking standards in the USA for bank checks and paper based drafts. The IDAutomation MICR fonts have also been tested on several MICR readers and sorters including the UNISYS DP500 and the IBM 3890.
• Security Fonts included - These unique fonts allow a more secure method of printing names and amounts that help reduce forgery on bank checks. For more information, please visit IDAutomation's Security Fonts web page.
  
• Visual Basic source code - IDAutomation includes Visual Basic 6 source code with the order. The VB source code has been extracted from a working check printing application and should give ideas and guidance for automated methods of printing bank checks using IDAutomation's MICR E-13B font.
• Compatible with Oracle eBusiness Suite and Peachtree - Some accounting packages (such as Peachtree Complete Accounting version 8 or greater) allow the use of IDAutomation's MICR fonts on custom check forms. If an accounting package has this capability, MICR fonts can save on check printing and streamline the check-printing process.
• Embedding support - The embedding support of IDAutomation's MICR fonts enables embedding in special PDF document applications such as Adobe Writer, Distiller, PDF Lib and FOP TTF Reader. This level of embedding also supports creation of OpenType and TrueDoc fonts for web pages. More about internet fonts...
• 24 Additional MICR fonts provided - The font named IDAutomationMICR was created to precisely match the printer's pixels and should be used by default with any distributed application.
