Quality control • Periodically (once for each filled output bin): Horizontal position, vertical position, voids, spots, and MICR line appearance When a clinical test is running-which many banks require before changing check production-the following additional design factors should be checked to provide a representative test: • The Xerox printing system should be adjusted to manufacturer specifications and operator maintenance tasks performed regularly per the manufacturer's recommendation. • Only paper stock that meets ANSI and Xerox requirements should be used. • A large group of documents should be generated, several thousand at a time. • Test documents must be fresh and undamaged. • The test application should mimic the live data, but its appearance should not resemble a negotiable document. The form should represent the correct document size, MICR line, and a unique serial number for each document for identification purposes. • The test application should be validated for skew, vertical alignment, and character size. (Any change in job resources may alter MICR quality parameters that do not normally vary.) Specifications for testing The following specifications apply only to MICR characters that are printed within the clear band. Printing outside the clear band area should follow standard xerographic specifications. Note that most MICR line positional errors (horizontal, vertical, skew, and character) are due to poor document design rather than problems with the MICR printing system technology. Horizontal position To check horizontal positioning, place the check at the bottom of the MICR Gauge with the right edge of the check lined up with the right edge of the gauge. Place the right edge of the first transit symbol on the left between the dotted lines in boxes 42 and 43 of the gauge (see the following figure). 6-6 Generic MICR Fundamentals Guide
