5. 5MICR IPS
The 96 MICR IPS, 4635 MICR IPS, and 180 MICR IPS produce a
magnetic ink character recognition (MICR) line on negotiable and
turnaround documents such as checks and bills. The 96/4635/180
MICR IPS prints documents using magnetic ink and special fonts to
create machine-readable information that allows for quick document
processing.
In general, MICR is used to print accounting and routing information
on blank checks and other negotiable documents, the magnetic
encoding capabilities can be used for any printed output.
For more information on creating MICR documents and using MICR
tools, refer to the Generic MICR Fundamentals Guide, publication
number 721P14083, provided with your IPS.

The 96, 4635, and 180 MICR IPS meet ABA standards and ANSI and
