Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR)
Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR) is a character recognition system widely used in the banking industry for clearing and processing checks. The process involves the use of a stylized font and magnetic ink to print characters such as a check number, sort number, and account number commonly found at the bottom of a check. When the check needs to be scanned, it passes through a special machine, which magnetizes the ink and translates the magnetic information into digital characters. This scanning process is highly secure and more accurate than conventional Optical Character Recognition (OCR).

Calibration Fonts
ConnectCode MICR E13B Font has been designed and developed according to the industry specification ISO 1004:1995. The fonts have been tested vigorously on many different MICR hardware types internally and by many different organizations externally. However, depending on the users' printer, paper or toner used, slight misalignment in the characters may still occur. Some printers can also be prone to alignment inaccuracies. Calibration can be performed to improve misalignment (if any) and ensure optimal scanning of the characters.
