IDAutomation MICR E-13B and CMC-7 fonts allow users to print MICR encoding for bank checks, bank drafts and other specialized MICR printing applications from Windows, DOS, Macintosh, Linux, UNIX and other computer systems supporting TrueType, OpenType, PostScript or PCL laserjet soft fonts. Implementing solutions with MICR fonts provides a high level of scalability with operating system, application and printer independence. Learn more about the quality of IDAutomation Fonts.

.NET developers: If developers would rather implement MICR as a .NET component that creates and prints MICR images without fonts, evaluate the .NET MICR Forms Control or the ASP.NET MICR Server Control.
