MICR fonts The Xerox-supplied MICR fonts are required to optimize the quality of the MICR line and ensure excellent performance. It is critical that the font character raster patterns and metrics are not modified in any way and that no new characters are added. NOTE: Xerox MICR fonts must be used. They may not be modified in any way. MICR fonts provided Xerox provides sets of E13B and CMC7 MICR fonts for PostScript, PCL, LCDS, and IPDS. The following sections describe the fonts that you

IPDS fonts The T1001032 code page includes these fonts: � X0AE13 (E13B font) � X0AT13 (E13B test font) � X0LE13 (Landscape E13B) � X0LT13 (Landscape test font) The T1001033 code page includes the CMC7 font X0ACMC. However, CMC7 fonts are not currently supported on the DP 75 MX. The Xerox AFP MICR fonts include all E13B characters, plus

NOTE: When loading your fonts from CD, load the fonts from either the 600 dpi MICR Fonts CD or the 300 dpi CD. If both versions of the 9.12 point E13B PostScript font are present on the system at the same time, unpredictable results can occur. For this reason, two CDs are provided, each containing a different version of the 9.12 point E13B PostScript font. If you have loaded your MICR fonts from the 600 dpi CD and you want to print using the 300 dpi PostScript MICR font, you must first

For these systems, select only E13B and E13B9 (if available). e. Highlight the required fonts, and click Install. A Question window tells you that loading the fonts from CD could take over 30 minutes. Click OK. Watch the lower-left corner of the window.

Installing LCDS fonts To install the LCDS fonts: 1. From the Administration pull-down menu, select LCDS Resources. 2. From the Source pull-down menu, select CD-RW 0. 3. Click the Display button. The following eight LCDS fonts are listed in the resources section. � CMC74I.FNT � CMC74J.FNT � CMC74L.FNT � CMC74P.FNT � E13B4I.FNT � E13B4J.FNT � E13B4L.FNT � E13B4P.FNT 4.

Selecting MICR fonts Checking the font version Selecting the wrong font can result in improper signal strength and high reject rates at the bank. To make sure that you have the font that you want, print a question mark, ?, in the MICR line. While the resulting document does not have a valid MICR line, the printed font is obvious. You can also print a test pattern. Refer to “Printing MICR test forms,” for the procedure. The test forms contain font version information: the font name, revi

Selecting PostScript fonts To select a Xerox Postscript font, set the attributes for one of the following: � Internal name: E13B Point size: 9.12 � Internal name: E13B9 Point size: 9 � Internal name: CMC72510 Point size: 9.06 The Postscript E13B MICR font has the same character mappings as the PCL fixed pitch E13B font. Refer to the Generic MICR Fundamentals Guide for a complete listing of the character mappings. NOTE: The 300 dpi Type 3 PostScript font can be used in all applications an

NOTE: 600 dpi PCL fonts must not be used with a 300 dpi queue or with any 300 dpi resources. The resolution mismatch causes characters to be one dot further apart than is nominal. While this spacing meets industry standards, a high reject rate can result if the adjacent field spacing does not compensate for this error. You can use the PCL Unit of Measure command to set the PCL Unit to 600 (for example, &u600D). Alternatively, you can override the resolution to 600 dpi in the queue.

Setting the font resolution Before printing MICR jobs, you must set the resolution attribute appropriately for the queue to which you will be sending the jobs. The following table lists the different MICR font formats and the resolution at which each font should be printed. Table 1-3. MICR Font formats Font name and format Required resolution E13B LCDS 300 DPI PS 300 DPI and 600 DPI PCL 300 and 600 DPI CMC7 LCDS 300 DPI PS 600 DPI PCL 600 DPI If your document contains scalable fonts or simple

Setting the font resolution for the queue Before sending a document to a print queue, you must make sure that the resolution of the font used in the document is the same as that specified for the queue. If the font and queue resolutions do not match (for example, a document with a 600 dpi font is sent to a 300 dpi queue), the font may print with subtle distortions and could be rejected at the bank. Follow this procedure to set the font resolution as a queue property: 1. Select the Queue pul

Image quality for PCL The MICR fonts provided with the MX printers have been optimized for MICR printing on these systems. Therefore, it is important that darkening of the bitmap font is disabled when printing PCL MICR documents. To ensure that bitmap font darkening is disabled, follow these steps: 1. Log on as Administrator. 2. Select the Printer pull-down menu and select Image Quality. 3. In the Raster Image Processors list, do one of the following: � If you are using the 300 dpi font (fo

4. Add the new library to the MX font library concatenation. 5. Because the names of the Xerox AFP MICR fonts are the same as the IBM AFP MICR fonts, be careful not to overwrite the original IBM fonts. You may need to reference them later. New MICR implementation 1. Install the Xerox MICR fonts on the host AFP system. 2. Use the X0AE13 and X0AT13 fonts in your applications. 3. Refer to the code page and character set descriptions in the IBM manuals and Xerox supplements. 4. Ensure that the MI
