MICR E13B Font Overview and Features
MICR E13B is a special font that is used on bank checks and drafts in the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, Panama, UK, and other countries to print E13B characters for magnetic recognition and optical character recognition systems. This MICR font contains 10 specially-designed numeric characters 0 through 9, and four special symbols: transit, amount, on-us, and dash.
Industry Standard Support:
"IDAutomation's Check Design Software has more versatility than other software. It is very intuitive, and the possibilities are infinite. The logic in the program is organized and straight forward. This is by far the easiest application to get up and running on the market. Couple that with the power of the program and it beats competition priced 5 or 10 times higher."
- Ted Sapperstein, Dee Michaels Inc.
- ANSI and ISO Compliant:
- IDAutomation's MICR E13B fonts were created according to ISO 1004:1995 and meet the ANSI X9.27-1995 specification for MICR E13B characters.
- Because they were created from the ISO spec, the fonts meet the
E13B specification for other countries as well. Examples include:
- Australian APCA Pub 3.3
- Canadian Payments Association Standard 006 Specification for MICR-Encoded Cheques.
- These fonts have been proven to pass the ABA banking standards in the USA for bank checks and paper-based drafts.
- IDAutomation MICR fonts have also been tested on several MICR readers and sorters including the UNISYS DP500 and the IBM 3890.
- MICR Print Specifications: These specifications are a summary of the placement requirements obtained from the ABA (American Banker's Association).
Multiple Versions Provided:
The IDAutomationMICR font was created to precisely match each of the printer's pixels when printing at 300 dpi or multiples of 300 dpi above. This MICR font eliminates the need to calibrate the font to the printer or to use different fonts on different printers unless the printer is out of alignment. For printers that are out of alignment, additional fonts are provided with a calibration tool.
- 24 Additional Fonts: Additional MICR fonts are provided for printers that are out of alignment.
The following fonts are provided in the package; all font names begin with IDAutomationMICR.Intensity Narrow 2 Narrow 1 Standard Width Wide 1 Wide 2 Extra Light N2XL N1XL XL W1XL W2XL Light N2L N1L L W1L W2L Normal N2 N1 IDAutomationMICR W1 W2 Bold N2B N1B B W1B W2B Extra Bold N2XB N1XB XB W1XB W2XB * Differences in intensities and widths may be noticed only on printers with 600 dpi or greater resolution.
** Fonts named MICR and E13B are the same as IDAutomationMICR and support applications that require these specific names.
- Security Fonts: Security fonts allow a safer method of printing names and currency amounts to reduce the risk of bank check forgery.
"This MICR E13B Font Advantage Package enabled us to create a check writing solution that is much cheaper than any off the shelf, and able to integrate with current systems" |

MICR Font Technical Support
IDAutomation provides a variety of methods for customers who need support for the Bank Check Design and Printing Software:
A 5-Star Product
I have installed the E13B fonts and integrated into our X9Assist application. All of this was extremely easy to accomplish and you definitely have a 5 star product. Our X9Assist application is a testing tool for the x9.37 image exchange environment with a long list of functionality including browse, validate, find, search, make, generate, import, export, clone, repackage, and print. X9Assist already supported another MICR Font vendor, so your font was integrated to provide a second font alternative for our users. Our integration took about one day and was easy to accomplish through GUI and XML options that were implemented within X9Assist. We especially appreciated your MICR Placement and MICR Technical Support documentation which immediately answered a lot of questions. Our testing has shown your E13B font to be high quality product. Greatly appreciated and a well done! by Lowell on 8/18/2014

We are quite pleased with it. by Gary on 3/3/2017
Good Job
I am using the MICR E13B fonts to print checks from our ERP system. We are switching banks and the old fonts used on the legacy checks failed the quality checks. The fonts were easy to install and use, and it took only one afternoon. Your staff was not required to help, so good job. by Mark on 5/29/2019
