XML Pub v. 5.0.0 Micr Font problems

Hello--
I am trying to get MICR font output from XML Pub 5.0.0 for AP checks on Oracle 11.5.10. The MICR is not processing correctly--it is just showing up as a regular font. We have uploaded an xdo.cfg file to the location /test_sysdict/apps/appltest/xdo/11.5.0/resource and the font is located at /test_sysdict/apps/appltest/xdo/11.5.0/resource/fonts/MICR.ttf.
My settings in Word properties are as follows currently:
Name: xdo-font.MICR.normal.normal
Type: Text
Value: /test_sysdict/apps/appltest/xdo/11.5.0/resource/fonts/MICR.ttf
I have also tried the following:
Name: xdo-font family="MICR" style="normal" weight="normal"
Type:Text
Value: truetype path="/test_sysdict/apps/appltest/xdo/11.5.0/resource/fonts/MICR.ttf"
My config file reads as follows:
<config version="1.0.0" xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/oxp/config/">
<properties>
<property name="system-temp-dir">/tmp</property>
</properties>
<fonts>

<truetype path="fonts/MICR.ttf"/>

</fonts>
</config>
Can anyone spot something that I am doing wrong that would prevent the font from working? I know that the report recognizes the cfg file because we've applied and then unapplied some security settings successfully using the cfg file. I've been scouring the forum and tried quite a few things but haven't gotten it to work yet.
Any help at all would be appreciated.
thanks!

hi....i am struggling with the E-13B MICR fonts..Please advice how you have fixed ur problem..mine is similar to it.
I have installed the MICR (E-13B) font on my client machine.
It exists in ‘C:\Windows\Fonts\E-13B’ , I have also put it in ‘C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\lib\fonts\E-13B’ &
‘C:\Program Files (x86)\Oracle\BI Publisher\BI Publisher Desktop\Template Builder for Word\fonts’
In my RTF template I am able to see the font ‘E-13B’, BUT when I do a preview in PDF it is not showing up in MICR font.
The fields supposed to appear in MICR font appear in normal (Arial / Times New Roman) Format.
Whereas if I do an preview in RTF the fields appear as expected in MICR font itself. So I am assuming there must be something that we have to do with the PDF fonts as well.
I have also tried to modify the config file in ‘C:\Program Files (x86)\Oracle\BI Publisher\BI Publisher Desktop\Template Builder for Word\config\xdo.cfg’.
When I modify this file and added the following lines

<truetype path="C:\Windows\Fonts\E-13B.ttf" />

My preview from RTF fails with the following error
Caused by: java.io.IOException: The system cannot find the path specified
at java.io.WinNTFileSystem.createFileExclusively(Native Method)
at java.io.File.checkAndCreate(Unknown Source)
at java.io.File.createTempFile(Unknown Source)
at oracle.xdo.common.tmp.TmpFile.createTmpFile(TmpFile.java:85)
at oracle.xdo.template.FOProcessor.getTmpFOFile(FOProcessor.java:1998)
... 5 more
Please advise on how to proceed further. How did you get it running for yourself.

MICR font problem for check printing in ECC6

Hi All,
I am working of the re-deployment project. Here we are just migrating the objects from 4.6c to ECC6. I am facing the problem with SAP Script for check printing. It is working fine in 4.6c,but it is not working fine in ECC.
We are using HP 8150 printer with TROY magnetic chip and toner. It is working fine for 4.6C, but not for ECC6.
We are using "A" character for "Transit" and "C" character for "On as" in SAP Script. But during printing preview time it is not formatting it in MICR font.
I am working with basis team for font code page 4004. I came to know, it is showing character set in 4.6c with spool administrator tab character set, but this tab page does not showing any character set.
But according basis team, it is existing in ECC. If we will check through SCP it is showing unicode converted code page.
In 4.6c we are using Zee printer driver with Zee family fonts(ZMICR and ZSIGN) but in ECC we are using MICR_E(SAP provided MICR font) in TROY provided printer driver.
I have also come through the SAP note 94233 for MICR printing.
Same problem we are facing with digital signatures. It is not converting digital signature in graphical signature at MICR printer level.
Any help would be appreciated...........!
Thanks

MICR Font problem in spool

Hi, We are printing checks on MICR printer. In the botom of the check
we had check number, bank routing number, bank account number, these
are comming perfectly with MICR font when print online.
But if i create a spoll by using same printer, and print the spool
request to the MICR printer, MICR fonts are not effective. I just see
Check number, bank routing number and account number in regular font.
Can you please see if i need to go with some oss note or something.
By the way iam on 4.6C.

Hi,
Does your printer have a MICR font DIMM installed? Do you use one of the printers and device types described in SAP note #94233?

MICR font not displayed in PDF on SUSE Linux Server for Check Writer (XML)

We are generating checks by running the Check Writer(XML) concurrent request and are not able to see MICR fonts on the Check. We downloaded the free version from IDAutomationSMICR.ttf and the fonts were registered under /usr/local/fonts/micr directory. I registered in APPS and uploaded the file IDAutomationSMICR.ttf. Am I missing any steps. The DBA's have registered the fonts under /usr/local/fonts/micr on SUSE Linux Server . The custom Checks are generated but no luck with the fonts. Please advise. Can I download MICR fonts other than IDAutomation site? Appreciate your response.
Thanks,
Hari

I use version 11i, so the steps are probably different. Download a font file (gnuMICR for me). Extract it to a location of your choice on your operating system.
Follow these steps to load the MICR font to the server. (Step 11 was missing in some of the metalink documents in late 2007. I think Jan. 2008 will be OK).
1.     Log in as XML Publisher Administrator.
2.     Navigate to Administration->Font Files->Create Font File.
3.     Fields are Font Name and File. For Font Name choose any descriptive name. File will browse your PC to locate the font file.
4.     Navigate to Font Mappings->Create Font Mapping Set.
5.     Mapping name is the name you will give to a set of fonts. [MICR Font]
6.     Mapping code is the internal name you will give to this set. [MICR]
7.     Type: 'PDF Form' for PDF templates. 'FO to PDF' for all other template types.
8.     Create Font Mapping (this allows you to add multiple fonts to a set).
9.     Font Family is the exact same name you see in Word under Fonts. If you don't use the same name the font will not be picked up at runtime. [GnuMICR]
10.     Style and weight must also match how you use the font in Windows. Normal and Normal are good defaults. [Normal, Normal]
11.     DO NOT enter Language or Territory
12.     Choose a value for Font Type. [Truetype]
13.     Search for the Font you just created in step 3. [GnuMICR]
14.     Navigate to Configuration -> FO Processing -> Font Mapping Set. Can also be done at data def and template level under Edit Configuration. Hierarchy is Site-> Data Def -> Template.
15.     Select your new mapping set.
16.     Make sure the font is not referenced under File->Properties->Custom in the RTF template file.
17.     Select a temporary directory on your concurrent processing node (Configuration -> General). This needs to be a private area not shared by other processes, read writeable by the applmgr (owner of the $APPL_TOP file system). It should be fairly large 5 GB or 20x larger than any datafile being used. The fonts will be downloaded here the first time they are used.
18.     Also at this site level select your font mapping set.
19.     Upload a template that uses your special font and test using preview.

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

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).

New Payment process in R12, MICR font dropped by PREPROCESS

Hi,
With the new way of doing Payments in R12, meaning can not use the bursting engine and at the same time CUPS printers, I can't get the MICR font to be on the output .ps file after it goes through the preprocess command of the pasta config file.
Acroread is not longer available on the AIX version we are using and both pdftops (Xpdf) and pdf2ps(Ghostscript) drops the MICR line at the bottom, the rest of the file is good except the last line.
I'm sure we are not the first one trying to print checks in R12 :-)
Is there a nice "how to" that tells how to print AP checks in 12.1.2?
Thanks for your help
Patrick

Hi
The same package "IBY_FD_EXTRACT_EXT_PUB" works for payment process request status report also. Please add the logic to get the distribution data in this package and you will see the new XML tags in this report also.
Hope this helps.

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

How to use MICR fonts in Adobe forms (webdynpro java

Hi,
We have a requirement where we need to print some MICR codes (for checks) through Adobe Forms.
I have installed some true type MICR fonts in windows and Adobe Font Manager (in ADS) as well.
It is visible in the Adobe Form design time (Font palette) and when I use the font for text, it is visible in preview too. But when I run the web dynpro application, in the online form it is converted into Standard font (Times new Roman).
Is there anyway to handle this issue.
Please let me know.
I am using NWDS 7.0.1
Adobe Live cycle designer 7.1
SAP NW 2004s SP14
Thank you,
Vasu

MICR Font is not prviewing in PDF.

Hi Gurus,
Thanks for your all support.
I have a requirement for Check printing to Print the line in MICR font.
I have installed the MICR font in my local machine. I install it in C:\Windows\Font
It got install these TTF files
MICRE13B P2 Tryout - MICRT_P2.TTF
MICRE13B P1 Tryout - MICRT_P1.TTF
MICRE13B M1 Tryout - MICRT_M1.TTF
MICRE13B M2 Tryout - MICRT_M2.TTF
MICRE13B Match Tryout - MICRT13B.TTF
Then in my template I selected the logic where i declare the check number with the Branch number and made the font any of the above font but when I am previewing the Template it is showing in normal font.
Could any body please tell me the steps how do I see the MICR fonts when I am previewing the Template in PDF.
Thanks Advance
Please let me know the solution as soon as possible
Thanks
Nihar

Hi,
To Verify that the MICR font has been installed, Please check in the following locations.
1) “C:\Program Files (x86)\Oracle\BI Publisher\BI Publisher Desktop\Template Builder for Word\fonts”
“C:\Windows\Fonts”
2)Edit the xdo.cfg file located in “C:\Program Files (x86)\Oracle\BI Publisher\BI Publisher Desktop\Template Builder for Word\config”
<config version="1.0.0" xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/oxp/config/">

<properties>


<property name="system-temp-dir">c:/Temp</property>

<property name="pdf-compression">true</property>

<property name="pdf-security">false</property>
<property name="pdf-open-password">user</property>
<property name="pdf-permissions-password">owner</property>
<property name="pdf-no-printing">true</property>
<property name="pdf-no-changing-the-document">true</property>
</properties>

<fonts>


<truetype path="C:\Windows\Fonts\E-13B.ttf" />

</fonts>
</config>
You may not be able to find the xdo.cfg file in the location, we can modify the xdo_example.cfg file and save it as the xdo.cfg file by using the code above.
FINALLY:
Even after doing the above steps if you are unable to see the MICR font in the preview , Create a ‘Temp’ folder with “T” capitol letters in the root “C:” drive.
This had solved my prob.
Please let me know if it helped you.
Thanks,
Vijay

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 font in Adobe Form

Hi All,
I am working on Adobe Form for A/P Check(Cheque) through F110 transaction. In Adobe Live cycle Designer(and in ADS), I don't see MICR font option in the list of available fonts. I know it's there in smartforms and Scripts. But how can I get the font in Adobe?
I already searched in the forum but didn't get any solution. I appreciate any help in resolving this issue.
Thanks!

I found these 2 threads (ADS Font Installation and Fonts problem) which say that you might add your font in designer.xdc or design.xdc file in \usr\sap\<systemid>\SYS\global\AdobeDocumentServices\lib\, and for windows, you may install in /winnt/fonts
There is also some [documentation for XDC fonts in Adobe support website|http://livedocs.adobe.com/livecycle/8.2/wb_help/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/wwhelp.htm?href=001172.html]
