MICR symbols in number fields
Type a letter in the check, routing, or account number to print its MICR symbol. Uppercase and lowercase both work.
| Letter | Symbol | Name |
|---|
| A | | Transit / routing |
| B | | Amount |
| C | | On-us |
| D | | Dash |
Examples: C1001C adds on-us symbols around check 1001. A123456780A adds transit symbols around nine routing digits. 12345D67890C adds a dash and ending on-us symbol to an account.
Examples are illustrative; use the format supplied by your bank. Entering digits only keeps automatic delimiters. Matching A/C delimiters you type are not added twice. B is an amount delimiter; use it only if your bank’s MICR instructions call for it. The bank’s amount-encoding area remains blank.
Printed check numbers show digits; MICR codes appear in the bottom number line.
