WHAT IS MICR TONER?

MICR is an acronym that stands for Magnetic Ink Character Recognition. It is used primarily for printing specialized font at the bottom of checks to be read by high-speed, magnetic sorting machines. The key ingredient that gives MICR toner it's magnetic charge is iron oxide. The Federal Reserve instituted MICR toner printing to make check-clearing processing more efficient (Source).

By far the most popular MICR printer brand is Source Technologies. In 1996, they formed a partnership with Lexmark to become their exclusive provider of MICR printing supplies. As a result, most Source Technologies printers you see today will look identical to Lexmark machines.
