 Print MICR code on iSeries AS/400
I have the micr code fonts resident on my AS400 V5R4 but I can't figure out how to print micr code fonts for bank checks using XOAE13. How do you call the font from a Printer file DDS and is there anything unusual about the RPG program used to print checks? I can't find any examples of either. Can anyone help?

Software/Hardware used:
Ricoh SP4110N MICR printer w/Rosetta technologies, Iseries5 V5R4

Answer Wiki:
Hi Make the file device *IPDS or *AFPDS. Special. magnetic toner for the printer may be required. I used FNTCHRSET or a different font keyword. I need to search for my example.
