Glossary
Glossary-6
Generic MICR Fundamentals Guide
fugitive
background
A special print pattern, usually incorporating numerous
repetitions of the bank's corporate logo, found on check
documents. The pattern reacts chemically or physically if the
document is tampered with, thus providing some measure of
security over whatever information is overprinted onto the
pattern.
fuser
The area of the laser printer where the image is permanently
fixed to the paper by heat or by heat and pressure.
fuser oil
High-purity refined silicone oil used as an external release agent
in fusers to keep paper from sticking to the fuser roll.
grade
Degree of brightness of paper. The higher the brightness, the
lower the grade number.
grain
On a sheet of paper, the direction in which most fibers run. Long
grain papers have most of their fibers run parallel to the long
side; while in short grain papers the fibers run parallel to the
short side.
grammage
Term for expressing paper basis weights in Australia and Europe,
which is the weight in grams of a square meter of paper. Also
called grams per square meter (g/m2 or gsm).
hole plugs
The circular pieces of paper residue produced from punching
holes (for binding purposes) in paper.
home bank
The bank from which a check (or other MICR document) has
been drawn upon.
housekeeping
The regular operator cleaning and maintenance procedures for
mechanical devices (such as the LPS printer module and reader/
sorters) which manufacturers deem necessary for optimum
machine performance.
host
The source of data, or the input device, for the printer. Could be a
personal computer or a mainframe.
image
A process of digitization of all or a portion of the document. The
digitized image might be used to enhance the microfilming
process, or it might be used for storage, transmission, or
electronic printing of the document (e.g., as part of the account
owner's statement).
intaglio printing
The printing process commonly used for travelers checks and
other security documents. This process produces a noticeably
raised surface of ink, and in doing so places quite severe
stresses on the paper. Getting MICR encoding to properly fix
onto intaglio printed documents, by any technology, is quite
difficult.
