Cut-Sheet, High-Speed MICR Printing at Your Fingertips

MICR-Mate is an integrated

product powered by The

Solutions Group and

coupled with the best of

material handling equipment,

inkjet technology, and vision

technology available. MICRMate

is a totally integrated,

cut-sheet, high-speed, MICR

printing solution; capable of

printing up to 150 full-color,

ANSI-compliant MICR pages

per minute.

MICR-Mate starts with a single-source file and, within seconds, prints checks in full=color, including images, backgrounds, logos and specialty MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition) ink.

 

Why MICR-Mate?

 

MICR-Mate is a specialized printing application for those industries printing with MICR

ink. The Solutions Group (TSG) developed MICR-Mate as a way to provide an efficient

and economical option for cut-sheet, high-speed MICR printing at facilities that have

such needs. Our system accommodates MICR ink for secure, bank-approved check

printing that meets ANSI compliance standards.

 

How does MICR-Mate work?

 

Our simplified printing process takes a print job with variable data and essentially

breaks it down into smaller, more manageable parts. MICR-Mate is typically configured

to print one to four checks per page. Rebate and convenience checks are quickly and

economically printed, up to 150 pages per minute.

The system’s high-speed color inkjet printer eliminates the need for stocking various

colors of printer paper because background colors in the source file are printed quickly

and effectively on plain paper.

MICR-Mate is designed to work with RISO ComColor high-speed printers.

Here’s a step-by-step overview of the process:

 

1. The MICR data is extracted from the source file.

2. The non-MICR parts of the file are sent to the RISO ComColor high-speed printer.

3. The Hewlett-Packard-based printer system is instructed to print specific MICR data

     with MICR ink.

4. The MICR line is positioned accurately, based on the original document.

5. The software uses an existing unique barcode (or adds one) on each page for full

    tracking and verification.

 

The result... MICR-Mate is a simplified system that takes a print job with variable data and

produces it through two fully integrated printing subsystems for a quick and easy cut sheet

MICR printing solution.

The MICR-Mate Verification Module

ensures data integrity of every printed

document. Before your document is

released to the output tray, the system

scans the completed page and verifies

the quality and integrity of barcodes

and MICR on the page. This is especially useful in environments where security and continuity is paramount.
