Generic MICR Fundamentals Guide
texture
The composition and feel of the surface of a paper, such as
rough or smooth.
TAPPI
The abbreviation for the U.S. Technical Association of the Pulp
and Paper Industry which develops standardized test procedures
for various properties of paper.
trailing edge
The left edge of a check when its face is viewed.
transit number
The U.S. Federal Reserve System and drawee bank
identification information
transit routing
symbol
A U.S. Federal Reserve district number that controls the routing
of a check through the banking system.
turnaround
documents
Any type of transaction requiring the recapture of data.
void
The absence of ink within the specified outline of the printed
MICR character.
void pantograph
A pantograph that produces the word “void” or other warning on
a copy of the original.
warrant
A form of draft, which in itself is not negotiable, that can be
converted into a negotiable instrument. Warrants are considered
“cash items” by banks.
waveform reader
sorter
A device which interprets MICR characters by measuring their
magnetic waveforms. These were the first type of MICR reading
devices used. An example model of this device is the NCR 6780.
These devices are also known as “single slot reader sorters.”
wire side
During manufacturing of paper, the pulp mixture is poured onto a
screen so that the liquid drains out, leaving only the pulp, which
dries to form the paper. The side of the paper that is against the
screen is called the wire side. This side has a more pronounced
grain, fewer short fibers and less sizing than its opposite (felt)
side. Xerography prefers printing on this side of the paper.
wrap pattern
A MICR test printing pattern used for ribbon encoding to check
for possible wear and tear in the print chain.
write head
The device in reader/sorters that magnetizes the ink printed in
the clear band area of a MICR document.
Xerographic bond
paper
Paper specifically designed to work in xerographic copiers, and
laser and ionographic printers. They are generally smoother than
other types of bonds.
