MICR stands for Magnetic Ink Character Recognition. Unlike regular laser toner, MICR toner contains iron oxide particles that allow bank scanners to read the characters at the bottom of every check — your routing number, account number, and check number.
When checks are printed with standard toner, they look correct to the eye but fail the magnetic read test at the bank, causing delays and fees. MICR toner solves this problem.
