Re: printing MICR code on checks



Title: RE: printing MICR code on checks

Hi Kathy,

Just finished working on mine (although it hasn't been submitted for approval yet).  I converted PAY003 settings to the new SQR format to avoid future conversion issues.  My setup commands are:

DECLARE-REPORT  PAY003
  LAYOUT          = PAY003
  PRINTER-TYPE  = HPLASERJET
END-DECLARE

DECLARE-PRINTERPAY003
  FOR-REPORTS   = (PAY003)
  TYPE          = HPLASERJET
  FONT-TYPE     = FIXED
  SYMBOL-SET    = 0U
  POINT-SIZE    = 7
  PITCH               = 7
  FONT          = 5
  INIT-STRING   = <27>E<27>&l0L
END-DECLARE

DECLARE-LAYOUT  PAY003
  PAPER-SIZE    = (8.5,11.0)
  FORMFEED          = YES
  ORIENTATION   = PORTRAIT
  LEFT-MARGIN   = 0.25
  TOP-MARGIN    = 0.3
  MAX-COLUMNS   = 135
  MAX-LINES         = 85
  CHAR-WIDTH    = 4.3
  LINE-HEIGHT   = 9
END-DECLARE



Because I need to use several different fonts and sizes for statement portion of check, etc., I use an Alter-Printer just above the MICR print command...

ALTER-PRINTER   !MicroCode
  SYMBOL-SET    = 0Q
  POINT-SIZE    = 8.4
  PITCH               = 8.4
  FONT          = 620

Subject: printing MICR code on checks


I was wondering if perhaps some of you could help me.  We are changing banks and
our new bank is being very picky on the micro coding on the bottom of our checks.
I have sent them 4 different batches and each one has failed.  They want only half
a space between check# and transit# and between transit# and account#.

I have changed point-size, line-size, char-size, chars-inch and I cannot seem to
find anything that makes a difference in the size of the characters.  Here is the
section I have been working with - any ideas would be GREATLY appreciated.

begin-procedure Declare-Printer-Microcode
  declare printer
    type          = HPLASERJET
    orientation   = portrait
    top-margin    = 0.00
    left-margin   = 0.2
    symbol-set    = 0Q
    font          = 620
    font-style    = fixed
   point-size    = 8.4
   line-size         = 8

end-procedure
