Overview
MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition) is a process by
which documents are printed using magnetic ink and special
fonts to create machine readable information for quick document
processing.
Although traditionally MICR has been used to print accounting
and routing information on bank checks and other negotiable
documents, the magnetic encoding lends itself to any form of
document processing.
The following figure shows a check with a MICR line. This line
contains block-shaped numbers running along the bottom of the
check, and non-numeric characters called “symbols.” This entire
string of numbers and symbols is printed using magnetic ink.
