Printing Your Own Checks With MICR Toner Can Save Your Business Money

You can lower your payroll costs overall and reduce your chances of being a check fraud victim with a few simple steps. Using today's technology, a laser printer and a magnetic toner cartridge, it's simple.

Magnetic Ink Character Recognition, or MICR for short is the process and technology behind check printing and processing. A MICR Toner contains particles of iron oxide, that when fused with your check paper, allow banks and their check reading systems to quickly and accurately process your checks. A typical laser toner cartridge does not contain enough of the iron oxide particles, so it is important that you use MICR. Magnetic toner is generally available for HP, Lexmark and Troy brand printers.

Consider the benefits. You'll save money over the typical cost of pre-printed checks. You will no longer have to pay for the high cost of checks from your local bank. There is a measure of security when printing your own checks. Since the blank checks to not contain your banking information, the chances that your valuable information will be stolen are decreased. Changing banks is no longer the hassle it once was. Simply change the banking information in your software, and the new information is printed directly on the blank check stock. No more throwing away old checkbooks.

Creating your own checks is a piece of cake. You enter your banking information such as your routing number and checking account number into the software. You can add company logos, slogans and even your signature to your customized checks. Then, making sure you have a MICR Toner loaded up in your printer, add the blank check stock and hit "print".

if you own a monochrome, or black only laser printer from HP or Lexmark, you may already have what you need to print your own checks. Most Lexmark, HP and Troy printers have MICR toner cartridges available, so all you'll need is some check printing software, a stack of blank check stock and of course, the proper MICR toner cartridge.

Help with an accounting question?

A person authorized to write checks(for a business) drawn on a checking account at a bank must sign and have on file a

a. signature card
b.deposit ticket
c.checkbook
d.bank card

Please help!

Ok the authorized person will only need to sign so the bank can have on file, a signature card. Everything else is optional to have a bank card and the check book...a deposit slip is never signed unless getting cash back, but with a business account, that isn't allowed to get cash back from a deposit.
