What Makes MICR Toner Different?

MICR toner contains magnetically responsive material that allows properly printed check information to be recognized by banking and document-verification equipment. Standard black toner may look similar on paper, but it does not provide the magnetic characteristics required for dependable MICR verification.

MICR Printing Benefits

Requirements for Proper Check Printing

MICR toner is one part of a complete check-printing system. Proper results also require:

• Appropriate check-printing software and an approved MICR font
• Properly formatted bank routing, account, and check information
• Check stock that meets your financial institution’s requirements
• Correct printer settings and verification with a MICR reader or your financial institution

Specialty product construction: HP does not manufacture an HP-branded OEM MICR version of the CF287A cartridge. MICR cartridges are specialty-converted products and, as is standard throughout the MICR replacement industry, may combine a professionally remanufactured OEM cartridge core with compatible replacement components and specialized MICR toner. This construction is necessary to provide MICR functionality that is not available from a standard HP CF287A office-printing cartridge.
