A/P Check Printing Requirements
Once you have installed the MICR font for check printing. It is important to print a test check prior to your "go-live" so that you can verify your checks are printing properly.
Proper spacing is critical for MICR scanners to accurately detect and process the routing, account and check number at the bottom of the check.
Correctly Printed Check
- Banking numbers have adequate white space on all sides
- Clear separation between banking information and check border
- Numbers are properly positioned within the MICR zone
- No overlapping with colored areas or design elements
- Easy to scan and process without errors
