Generic MICR Fundamentals Guide

4-19

MICR character spacing requirements

Reader sorters have timing limits that prevent them from 
handling extreme variations in character spacing. The average 
spacing requirement for MICR characters is 0.125 inch/6.4 mm 
per character (8 characters per inch).

The MICR specifications have a tolerance on the 0.125 inch/6.4 
mm spacing requirement of ± 0.010 inch/.3 mm. Specifications 
also state that the accumulated error must not exceed field 
boundaries, shown in table 4-1. MICR characters are right 
justified and the numbers are read from right to left. This means 
that you might need to pad the MICR line with leading blanks so 
that the numbers start in the correct position.

Character spacing algorithm for 300 dpi

MICR printing systems print at 600 or 300 dots per inch. At 600 
dpi, there are no issues with character spacing. 600 dpi can be 
divided evenly by 8 characters per inch, resulting in 75 dots per 
character.

However, 300 dpi, when divided by 8 characters per inch, results 
in 37.5 dots per character. The system cannot print half a dot, so 
it cannot print each character at exactly 8 characters per inch.

You can achieve an average of 37.5 dots per character by using 
a proportional spaced font with a spacing algorithm that places a 
space of one dot after every second character. In other words, 
two characters of 37 dots are printed, followed by a one-dot 
space, then the sequence is repeated. This algorithm is used 
extensively in high volume printing installations.

Fixed pitch and proportional font spacing

The relationship between the input character and the output 
character or space is shown for proportional spaced fonts in 
table 4-3, and for fixed pitch fonts in table 4-4. 

NOTE:  The relationship between the input character and the 
output character may differ slightly from these tables for some 
Xerox MICR products. These differences are primarily found with 
the revision control character (?) and the special symbols.
