Overview
Generic MICR Fundamentals Guide
1-3
In 1963, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
accepted the ABA specifications, with minor revisions, as the
American standard for MICR printing. The ANSI publication
covering these standards is Print Specifications for Magnetic Ink
Character Recognition, first issued in 1969. Although compliance
with the standards is voluntary in the U. S., the banking industry
considers them to be the definitive basis for determining
acceptable quality of a MICR document.
Another MICR font, called CMC7, was developed by the French
computer company Machines Bull and has been the official
French standard since September 1964. The CMC7 font is also
used in other countries, including Italy, Spain, and Brazil. Like the
E13B font, CMC7 is a magnetically readable font, but with a
different character design and recognition criteria.
Some countries also use OCR-A or OCR-B, which are optically
read check processing fonts. These fonts do not need to be
printed with magnetic ink in order to be processed. The following
table shows which countries use the four check printing fonts.
