Turn Your Office Printer into a MICR Printer
Configured for easy installation into a printer's available memory module upgrade sockets, these intelligent "printer personality" modules add advanced check printing capabilities to LaserJet printers. The printer maintains functionality—beyond regular office printing and also becomes capable of securely outputting checks.

Why MicrDIMM?
If you need to print secure checks from Windows, SAP R/3, SAP ECC, Oracle, or even your own custom application, insert MicrDIMM Pro into your HP LaserJet printer. Your HP printer will continuefunctioning as a generic printer but will also instantly become a secure MICR printer, producing checks with security fonts and E13B or CMC7 highly readable symbols. Successful integration of payroll and accounts payable functions is critical to the effectiveness of most Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) strategies. Application software from SAP R/3, Baan and Oracle effectively manage the data required for these functions. However, the specialized needs of payroll and A/P check printing often extend beyond the capabilities of standard ERP applications. MicrDIMM Pro is the most complete and simple solution to securely and accurately print checks on HP LaserJet printers. Some MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition) printer solutions rely on dedicated, centralized MICR printing systems. MicrDIMM Pro adds MICR printing capabilities to HP LaserJet printers, eliminating the need for expensive check printing equipment and supplies.

Issues to Consider
Complexity of Programming the Output Device
Programming the Output Device can involve some complexity , for instance , there is expensive cheque stock stored ininput trays , while less costly plain paper is stored in other input trays . Hence an OutPut Management Software should feature as a key part of the solution.

Special Requirements of MICR Cheques and MICR Standards
Some of these considerations are : Unlike printing statements or invoices , MICR cheque printing is the only application where alignment is paramount . Any deviation or any issue with alignment , either of the Printed MICR characters inside the five eights of an inch MICR band , or within the printed MICR characters themselves , can cause cheques to be rejected by sorters.
Jetmobile MICR DIMM handles all these complexities inside the Device Based Solution

Currencies , Localization and Globalization
Conversion of " 350 " to " Ringgit Malaysia Three Hundred and Fifty Only ***** is done inside the Output device , freeing the software application developer from having to write this part of the requirement . At the same time , when the description becomes too long , the solution interprets it and places the Digits to Text Converted data in 2 lines , properly aligned on the cheque paper . For global requirements for local Malaysia companies who need to print foreigh drafts , a large range of conversions include the US dollar , Singapore Dollar , Middle East currencies and more .
Jetmobile MICR DIMM handles all these complexities inside the Device Based Solution

Fast Template Design
Fast cheque template design is mandatory.The cheque design software must have strong capabilities that include all the following capabilities :

Easy to Use and extrmely fast to complete a template .
Handles MultiPart forms and cheque templates .
Handles Graphical elements well .
Provides Conditional Formatting .
Communicates with programs for manipulating files before being processed.
Communicates with Printer Based Intelligences , in this special case , Jetmobile MICR DIMM .

Security Considerations

Security Considerations are a subject on to itself and we are happy to discuss this as appropriate.

Issues to Consider for Banks
Additional Issues for Cash Management Departments of Banks
Cash Management Department of Banks have that additional special requirement that they :

Print cheques for their customers .

Require multiple logos and signatures to be intelligently applied on hardcopy .
Receives cheque printing data from multiple companies .
Need to have cheques sorted out according to customer instructions , for example , self collect , courier , etc .
Need intelligent and Sequence Marks if using Inserting Machines to prevent one customer's cheque from ending up in another customer's envelope , particularly if the Printing devices is located far from Enveloping device and the volume of paper is significant .
