Using MICR technology when printing checks is critically important because bank scanners read the MICR when processing the checks, either optically or by scanning the MICR.
Your software should include magnetic ink characters. Work with one of our check experts to be sure you get the check stock you need. There are many options when it comes to check stock, from a variety of covert and overt security features to color choices and check placement on the sheet (top, middle, bottom). Your check stock will need to meet the output size for everything to line up correctly. Typically, depending on the software, the output will be for either a 3 ½” check or a 3 ⅔” check. One important area of compatibility is the physical check size. Make sure that your check printing software and blank check stock are compatible. Your software will walk you through a set-up process. The check-printing software should include or be compatible with your financial-management program so you can import the information you need to print your completed checks. If your accounting program cannot print the MICR line of a check, you would need to purchase a software program that will allow you to create and design your own checks. 
In the past, check printing was handled by large printing companies or banks, but you can print checks at your home or small business if you have access to a laser printer, blank check paper and magnetic ink/toner called MICR. Whether you own a small or large business, you can save time and money by printing your own checks.
