HP MICR is the word in the world of checks

p It hasnt been too long that private companies and individuals were able to print there own checks. Since the introduction of the laser printer and MICR Toner there have been a whole host of questions regarding this issue./p
pBefore you begin purchasing check paper and special toner dont assume you can use traditional ink and toner to print your checks. And, while this is possible it really is not a good idea. The a href=http://www.lasercartridgeplus.com/hp-micr.html target=_blankHP MICR Toner/a is special in that it allows the bank readers and sorters to read the documents quickly and process them easily. Many people ask if they really must use this type of toner when printing checks and the answer is that is really makes good sense./p
pThe reason why is that the Toner is magnetic, which allows the banks to read it. Regular ink must be processed by hand and when this occurs it is not uncommon for the bank to charge a per check fee, up to $30, for using the wrong toner. So, that is something you will definitely want to keep in mind./p
pAnother common question is whether or not MICR toner exists for inkjet printers. The answer is no because inkjet printers use ink not toner. However, there is MICR ink that works well in inkjet printers so that is an option for you if you have an inkjet printer./p
pThe most popular question is perhaps what MICR really stands for. The answer is magnetic ink character recognition. MICR alone will not change the characters that are required to be used also. The characters that are used are from a whole different font./p
pAnother funny question that people seem to ask quite on a regular basis is how MICR is pronounced. The answer is M, I, C, R because it is an acronym and not a word. Acronyms should be spelled out, like YMCA, rather than spoken as a word. Some people have heard the MICR acronym spoken as micker or my-ker but neither of these is correct. though?, the my-ker would be favored by industry leaders should it be pronounced. The easiest thing to do is just spell it out!/p
pThose are some of the most popular questions behind MICR toner however people do have many others. If this sounds like you then do not hesitate jumping on the web and seeing what you can find. Most probable you will realize there are actually a lot of answers out there that will help educate you on MICR./p
