Setting the font resolution
Before printing MICR jobs, you must set the resolution attribute
appropriately for the queue to which you will be sending the jobs.
The following table lists the different MICR font formats and the
resolution at which each font should be printed.
If your document contains scalable fonts or simple line art
generated at 600 dpi, the differences between printing at 300 or
600 dpi are subtle. However, if your document contains bitmaps
with a resolution of 600 dpi, printing at 300 dpi causes a
degradation of image quality. To preserve image quality,
regenerate the bitmaps at 300 dpi.
NOTE: PCL and PostScript fonts must be printed at the correct
queue resolution and with the correct resource resolution, or
errors will occur. In PCL, this causes a minro spacing error. In
PostScript, subtle but significant character distortions occur. See
Selecting Fonts for more information.
For the Nuvera MX printers, a 300 DPI queue is not an available
option. Printing using the 1200 DPI queue works fine as long as
the 600 DPI fonts are used.
