MICR

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

Thanks. We'll let you know when a new response is added.

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.

This is from the DDS we use to print AP checks:
