Please note that these fonts are suitable only for Windows machines, not the Macintosh. OCR-A is easier for computers to read but can be slow and difficult for humans. Characters are printed in special magnetic ink which permits them to be read by a magnetic scanner.
Numerals are readable by humans but the other characters are just bars.
This font contains all fourteen characters listed in the MICR specification. Like all EFF fonts, these fonts are designed to the highest standards which, when used correctly, means you get error free scanning.
