Xerox Corporation set the benchmark for Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR) quality and reliability
standards back in 1984 with the introduction of MICR laser printing. Since then, the tradition of providing
superior quality solutions has continued as the family of high-performance, high-speed Xerox MICR laser
printing systems has grown to meet the financial industry’s expanding needs.
Today, Xerox offers the most comprehensive array of MICR production printing solutions. With print
speeds ranging from 75 to 180 pages per minute for 8.5 by 11-inch and A4 paper, Xerox MICR laser printers
feature 600 dots per inch resolution, large-format capabilities, multiple programmable input trays, network
connectivity, and feeding and finishing options. They also provide support for a wide variety of data-
streams—including AFP IPDS, PostScript, PCL, Metacode, LCDS, and more.
The legacy continues
Because Xerox MICR laser printers utilize a revolutionary
MICR imaging technology, applications output on Xerox
MICR printers consistently exceed 99.5 percent read
rates—the highest in the industry. This means your
checks and negotiable documents will exceed the
demanding quality standards established by such agen-
cies as the American Bankers Association, American
National Standards Institute, Canadian Payments
Association, and International Standard Organization.
We not only stand by our family
of MICR printers—we also stand
by the documents those printers
produce with the only Check
Performance Guarantee in the
industry.
Exceeding quality standards
Quality in MICR printing is a financial necessity. MICR
applications produced on Xerox laser printing systems
consistently meet the highest standards for Uniformity,
Consistency, and Durability. Uniformity is the ability to
maintain signal strength across all MICR characters.
Consistency is maintaining uniformity from check to
check. Durability is the ability to maintain image
permanence in high-speed readers/sorters.
If your checks do not meet these standards, you will
see an increase in the number of rejected checks. And
rejected checks result in costly delays, lost opportuni-
ties, and possible chargeback fees.
Xerox is so confident about
the quality of our products—
including our family of MICR
printers—that we offer the only
Total Satisfaction Guarantee in
the industry.
