Posted on by SV-18061727-0 604
Hello experts,
 
We printed Checks and got feedback from the Bank that the MICR print is this in appearance. Adjust print density setting. We printed Checks using printer - 
HP LaserJetPro 3001dw
 
Does anyone know what is needed to adjust the print density settings for the MICR line to be printed properly
 
Thank you

    Printing Checks - MICR line question
    Here's a clear solution response you can use to address the MICR print quality issue when printing checks using the HP LaserJet Pro 3001dw:
    Solution: MICR Line Printing - Print Density Adjustment on HP LaserJet Pro 3001dw
    To ensure that the MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition) line prints clearly and meets bank standards, you need to adjust the print density settings. Faint or blurry MICR lines are typically caused by low toner density or incorrect print mode.

    Steps to Adjust Print Density:

    1. Access the Embedded Web Server (EWS) or Printer Control Panel:
      • Open a web browser and enter the printer’s IP address to access the EWS.
      • Alternatively, use the printer’s onboard control panel.
    2. Adjust Toner Density / Print Quality Settings:
      • Navigate to:
        Settings → Print Quality → Toner Density or Adjust Print Density
      • Increase the Toner Density to a higher value (e.g., from default 3 to 5).
      • If available, enable Dark mode or Enhanced Print Quality.
    3. Ensure Correct Paper Type is Selected:
      • In the print driver or EWS, set the paper type to Check Stock or Bond Paper instead of plain paper. This forces the printer to apply more toner.
    4. Use MICR-Compatible Toner:
      • Ensure that the toner used is MICR-certified toner (not standard toner). Regular toner may not meet bank scan standards even if print quality looks acceptable.
    5. Print a Test Check:
      • After adjustments, reprint a check and verify the MICR line is bold and clearly legible.
      • Confirm with the bank or test with a MICR reader if available.

    Additional Notes:

    • If using Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance for check printing, also verify the print format (SSRS or Electronic Reporting layout) isn't scaling or shifting the MICR line.
    • Avoid duplex printing for checks, and always use recommended check stock aligned properly.
    Let me know if you're using Dynamics 365 Finance or another system to generate the checks—I can provide layout-specific advice if needed.
