MICR IPS5-4 XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/4635/180 IPS SYSTEM OVERVIEW GUIDEVerifying MICR output with the MICR Position and Dimension GaugeThe MICR Position and Dimension Gauge, which consists of a thinsheet of flexible plastic attached to the bottom of a piece of hard thickplastic, is provided in a kit that includes a small magnifying glass.The gauge is used by placing the printed output between the twopieces of plastic, which allows for a comparison of the MICR outputelements against industry standard output. This process verifies thecharacter spacing, horizontal and vertical alignment as well aschecks for spots and voids.Verifying MICR output with the MICR comparatorThe 8 power (8X) Comparator with MICR Grid is used to compare thecharacters on the MICR output to industry standard output.The comparator is an optical tool that magnifies each character eighttimes. It has a built-in measuring scale that measures the size of theMICR characters and checks for spots and voids (deletions). Keepthe following in mind when using the 8 power (8X) Comparator withMICR Grid:• Patterned paper can cause viewing problems. White papershould be used when performing quality evaluations.• The quality of the MICR output may vary with the type of paperused.• Handle the comparator with care. The grid is printed on thebottom and may be damaged or worn off in time.The comparator can be used with transmitted light or reflected light.Transmitted light To use the comparator with transmitted light, place the bottom of thecomparator on the document and hold the document in front of atransmitted light source. This allows the light to be transmittedthrough the document. This is particularly useful when checking forvoids and verifying the edges of the characters.Using the comparator with transmitted light is the most accuratemethod of verifying character quality, as transmitted light tends tomake the line more narrow and make spots appear smaller.Reflected light To use the comparator with reflected light, place the bottom of thecomparator on the document and hold the document in front of areflected light source.Using the comparator with reflected light is the most accurate methodof checking for spots.
