Colin: Wow, we've only worked with Troy chips, the template, and HP printers. With about 75 - 100 printers out in the field we've yet to have to go through the process you described with the bank; and some of these printers have been out in the field for about ten years.
When the bank receives checks they go through a MICR reader. Those that aren't read properly go into the reject pile. An operator then puts a white tape on the bottom of the check and manually enters the information that the reader missed (check# and bank account#) then enters the clearing amount. If there's a large number of rejections we hear about it immediately. However, we've never heard about any rejections in excess of the normal amount. We do, however, always use HP printers, always use TROY DIMM chips, and make it a point to purchase high-quality magnetic ink. :-) Bill -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 27, 2006 11:46 AM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: RE: [U2] MICR fonts with UniData 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, horizontal character position, vertical character position, character print quality, correct data, enough magnetic ink, etc. When we bought the MICR dimm we got a template that shows where everything needs to print.
