MICR Font for printing payroll checks

We are in the process of changing banks. The new bank has rejected our sample checks because the spacing is too wide. We are supposed to be using MICR font E-13B.
How do I find out what font we're using? And, how do I change the font?

I used the free GnuMICR.ttf from this site: http://sandeen.net/GnuMICR/
The checks were reviewed by a bank and approved.

MICR Fonts for check E13B

Hi,
I am working on checks. I am evaluating E13B ID Automation MICR fonts. ID Auto offers many fonts like IDAutomationMICR.TTF, IDAutomationSMICR.TTF etc.
I would like to know which is the most widely accepted font for checks and what is the font size to use for printing checks.
Thanks
Neeraj

Hi Tim,
I was looking through a post regarding MICR Fonts for check printing:
Has there been any further development done on this subject?
"I am trying to setup an AP Check using XMLP and access the MICR font and the Signature "font" from the printer. I can of course get everything to work from MS Word, however, I need to be able to either - print it Directly from JDE using the RTF templateor I need to be able to print it from the PDF.
Can I use embedded <esc> commands or PCL call before the PDF is created and if so, can anyone provide documentation or direction on how to set this up? "
Your help would be much appreciated, Thanks

Font for Print out and Print Preview

Hi all,
I am working in SAP R/3 4.6C and using SmartForm.I have a trouble :
I uploaded Arial Font into System Font and Printer Font and i want to use this font for print out and print preview.But this font is only applied for print out and the print preview uses still Courier Font not Arial as I want.
So, anybody tell me why and give some idea to solve this problem.
Thanks .

If I use a web font in my website can I use the same font for printed materials such as business car

I am a graphic designer intending to design a portfolio website in Adobe Muse. I plan to use TypeKit web fonts to design my website. Upon completioin of the website I intend to design business cards and my resume to match the look of my website. I would like to use the same fonts as I used on the website. Is it possible to use web fonts for printing purposes? If not, what do people typically do in this situation. The last thing I want to do is use a font that "looks" like the ones used on my website.

Hi redsoxfan15b,
(I think I may have replied to your Typekit Support ticket earlier today, but I will post the same information here to be certain.)
We have recently added a new feature to Typekit that allows you to sync fonts to your desktop and use them in print design. The announcement on our website has more information:
http://blog.typekit.com/2014/01/16/the-fonts-you-love-from-typekit-now-on-your-desktop/
Font sync is available on any Typekit Portfolio, Performance, or Business plan. Here is a list of all the font available for desktop use:
https://typekit.com/fonts?licenses=desktop
We are continuing to license more of the library for desktop use, but for now you should confirm that the font you would like to use it available for both web and desktop. And if there is a font you'd like to use that isn't available for desktop sync, you may also be able to purchase a license directly from the foundry.
I hope that this helps; let me know if you have any other questions! Best,
-- liz

How to install MICR fonts for R1 check Printing.

I saw several messages on the MICR.
Anyone used BI Publisher 10.1.3 and still sucessfully uised metalink Note:373377.1?
I am using BI 10.1.3..What are the steps I need to follow?I followed the same from the Note:373377.1,Still no success..
Is that true that in case of BI publisher, i heard that BI publisher is stand alone.(It is not like XML publisher as the databse is not embedded) the fonts needed to be installed at server level..
How true is this?Can anyone please help on this?
thanks
prasanna

Using MICR in XMLP is like using any other special font (i.e. barcode). Please see below some link on how to have the fonts(MICR) working on your templates. Also, you could buy fonts but may want to try first on the MICR font shipped with the BI Publisher Desktop (i.e. C:\Program Files\Oracle\BI Publisher\BI Publisher Desktop\Template Builder for Word\fonts).

Looking For Recommendation - Software/Service to Print Payroll Checks

My company is looking to replace our payroll check printing software. The vendor no longer exists and 3rd party support is troublesome. Can anyone recommend a good vendor, with or without online features? We are using Oracle 11i HRMS, and don't have plans to move to a newer version any time soon. Any suggestions, leads, or testimonials would be greatly appreciated.

Hello!
Thank you for using MOS Communities! I will move your question to the Oracle HRMS community for targeted assistance.
Have a great day,

How to implement MICR Fonts for AP Checks using XML Publisher

Hello -
We are upgrading from Oracle 11.5.9 to R12.1.1
I have created the RTF template for AP checks. Everything works except that now I have ti implement MICR fonts. Our earlier solution was through Optio, which I can not use now.
Please help me find necessary documentation to find ALL of the steps required to implement MICR fonts in the XMLP/RTF/PDF environment. Also, do we have to buy the fonts files, or are they available for free to download. We are using HP-UX 9000.
Thanks

9.0.3 - setting font for printing?

(9.0.3 Preview)
In the prefences for printing,
the only option for font name is "DialogInput"
and the only options for font size are 10,12.
I hope this is bug.
I'd like to be able to print with a different font, esp. 8pt.

We've limited the fonts in the printing options to only DialogInput 10, 12 pt only as we've had problems with incorrect output alignment under JDK 1.3. I had filed Sun bug #4625837 about 8 months ago, but Sun closed it as fixed in JDK 1.4 (which means they won't fix it in JDK 1.3). In 9.0.4, we're currently planning to update JDeveloper to run under JDK 1.4, so at that time we will update the fonts in the printing options to allow more choices. (JDeveloper 9.0.3 will let you compile JDK 1.4 programs, but JDev itself still currently runs with JDK 1.3.)

Licensing font for print magazines

I want your help about licensing the use of a font for a print magazines. What type of licensing does this fall under?
Thanks.

You can find all the information about fonts licensed from Adobe (including fonts bundled with Adobe applications) at:
Font licensing information, end user licensing agreements | Adobe
There is no restriction against use of any Adobe-licensed font in any print media to answer your specific question. Obviously, though, you can't “give” the font files to the printer or publisher, but you can embed them in print-ready PDF, EPS, and PostScript files.
Note that for fonts from other font vendors (i.e. not Adobe), other licensing requirements including higher cost licenses or even royalties may apply.

Change Font for Printing

I have message fonts set large (14pt) for screen viewing, which is too large for printing. Is there a way to specify a font to use for screen viewing and another to use for printing? I don't see any way to do this in either Mail Preferences or in the extremely-limited options available in settings when in the Print dialog.
Given the separation-of-function philosophy evident in OS X, I would expect this to be controlled in printer settings for mail. If it is there, it's hiding.

I've never seen font size settings in any print dialogue, this is something you need to set in the app you are using.
Print dialogues normally let you set a % reduction for anything you are printing in a Scale menu. If you do not see that, hit the triangle button to the right of the printer name to expand the choices.

Embed font for print

Good day
I have recently started designing brochures for my company. I completed 4. I am quite new as a designer.
all 4 printed well, had no problems.
this last one, the printer gave the foll:
1. The is overprint issues on the pdf files.
2. Some pages the fonts are not embedded.
3. There is spot colours in the job.
it is 24 pages
I did not change my setting at all as from my previous brochures. So I am completely lost in how to solve it and not for it to happen again.
We used the same printer for all the brochures.
Even the flyers I recently did, saying the same problems. Am using the same printer
I really need help as my job counts on successful brochures
Thank you
Kajal

It means what it says
a) you used a font that does not allow embedding in PDFs
b) you used spot colors (Pantone et al) without converting them to process CMYK
c) you didn't check the overprint/ trapping
Most of that no doubt could easily be checked using the prepress toolset in Acrobat on your end as well. As for whjat the specific fixes are, nobody can tell based on your vague info. We would have to see screenshots or the resulting product, know what fonts you used, require system info...

Using device fonts for printing

Hello,
I was wondering how to use device fonts in Java. These are the fonts that are in the printer and not in the operating system.
I'm writing some point of sale software that needs to use the Star TSP100 printer on Windows 7 64.
I need to use the device font "control" in order to instruct the printer to open the cash drawer.
I would also like to use the device font "3of9" for barcodes. I know there are alternatives to using this, but directly from the printer would be easier than trying to purchase and deploy a barcode font.
I know that star micronics has a JPOS implementation, but not for windows 7 64. And the JPOS with the StarMicronics bin is cumbersome and unstable for the end user even in Windows XP 32 bit.
If I specify the font "control" java replaces it with the default font. i.e. Font deviceFont = new Font ("control", Font.PLAIN, 8.5); is just the default font and not "control"

I did find a solution to my problem, but I cannot use device fonts. You may also find this useful to address your issue. I opened the a print service and sent ASCII to it instead of creating and printing a graphic object. You'll need the [Command Emulator STAR Line Mode Command Specifications|http://www.star-micronics.co.jp/eng/service/usermanual/comemu_starline_pm.pdf] to know what the commands are for the TSP100 and TSP700. I've included a cheat sheet to find the HEX value of the ASCII command. Note that if you need to send several characters you'll need to use the space with it.
e.g. The command to select font is ESC RS F you'll need to send: 1B201E2046

Need help from experts with process of printing Payroll Checks in-House

Appreciate any information on below issues please.
We upgraded from 4.0 to 4.7
1. For some reason 10 Direct Deposit advises get destroyed and need to be reprint only those 10, instead of whole 2000
2. Is there a way to change payment method (T-C without modifying IT 0009, used report RPTTKM40 for this in 4.0 version) for certain people and pay thru DME
3. Do you print 401K/Deferred Comp % on remuneration statement as ANZHL is no more populated in payroll cluster after 4.7? If Yes how do you get the ANZHL values.

I am not sure if this would be a fix for you, but a glimmer of hope shines from this link,

Packaging typekit fonts for print

When you're collecting for output/packaging a print project from InDesign and you're using Adobe Typekit, the Typekit fonts will not be packaged. Will there be any sort of warning or message so that both the artist and the print vendor are aware those fonts need to be replaced? It would also be helpful if the message mentioned Typekit so that the vendor knew where to obtain the fonts. I speak from experience, being both a designer and working for a commercial printer. Knowing whether to apply our Typekit fonts or to go back to the client for the fonts is very important.
