. The first part of the field is a
C
followed by
four numeric digits. The second half begins with a currency character. The Price Field
template allows the following currency characters:

Following the currency character, a numeric grouping of 3, 4, 5, or 6 digits is followed by a
terminating letter

MICR E-13B
MICR E-13B is used in financial applications to encode bank account numbers, bank
routing numbers, check numbers, and other information on a single row. There are standard
guidelines for how data is represented on checks and other financial documents, but a
great deal of flexibility is left to the discretion of the document designer. As a result, the
internal MICR template reads any MICR string whose length is between
4
and
40
characters.
Only one consecutive space is allowed in a template. On many checks, the MICR string
contains fields separated by more than one space. These fields will be read and output as
individual MICR strings. Because of the wide variety of strings that will produce MICR
output, users are cautioned to check for partial reads of MICR text where only part of the
targeted MICR string is actually in the image.
