What is MICR OEM Toner?
MICR stands for Magnetic Ink
Character Recognition. This is a
computer technology that was
developed by Bank of America and
Stanford University. It was
designed to help the banking
industry automate the process of
sorting and matching checks.
OEM stands for original
equipment manufacturer. For
example, if you own an HP
LaserJet printer and want an
HP
MICR OEM toner cartridge, you
would buy a MICR toner cartridge
that was manufactured by HP.
MICR Toner is used to print
bank checks on plain paper. It
is different from the normal
toner. MICR toner contains
approximately 50% of iron oxide
additives. The iron oxide
properties permit the magnetic
characters at the bottom of the
check to be read by the bank
MICR readers. Once the check
information is read, the check
is sorted and matched
automatically. This saves the
banks many hours of manual
labor.
As part of the development of
the MICR technology, Stanford
University had to develop a
special font. This font became
know as the E-13B font. It
consists of 14 characters, which
include the numbers 0-9, and
four symbols for Transit, On-Us,
Amount and Dash.
Since HP has the majority of the
laser printer market, most of
their laser printers (and all of
their current laser printers)
are capable of printing checks
using the MICR technology.
MICR OEM cartridges will always
work in your laser printer.
However, they are much more
expensive than compatible MICR
toner cartridges. A compatible
MICR cartridge is a MICR toner
cartridge made by a third party
company to the exact
specification of your laser
printer. These compatible MICR
cartridges are significantly
cheaper and will give you high
quality MICR printing.
If you’re in the
market for MICR OEM toner or a
compatible MICR toner cartridge,
be sure to purchase from the
best suppliers of MICR toner
cartridges. If you do, you’ll
experience the best toner
products and services in the
industry.
