John, This is what we use to print MICR checks with Universe. Unidata should be similar. We print on a HP 405O with a MICR soft font chip from Troy Systems. The "C" and "A" equate to the "transit" and "on us" MICR characters. Hth, Steve 0050:STDFONT = "1B2838551B2873307031326831327630733

John; As Bill says - it's a lot easier to get the chip. I think all of our clients work that way. You also need to use the special MICR toner. Usually it's harder to move the toner to a different printer than the chip. Remember that the M in MICR is for magnetic. It's special toner. The best par

John - it's critical. Normally, we do a run of 20 cheques that we give to the bank which sends them to its testing centre. About a month later we get them back with a report detailing anything that is incorrect. They measure things like: MICR clear band, MICR character skew, MICR line skew, horizon
