Use of MICR toner or ink when printing checks

MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition) refers to the special printing found at the bottom of a check containing checking account number and bank routing number information. The printing of this MICR line on a check using special MICR ink or toner is currently still in wide use. A MICR scanner magnetizes the characters prior to reading them magnetically. These scanners have proven to be highly accurate in their ability to read the MICR line on a check with a very low error rate.

Shareware vs. Freeware

What is the difference between Shareware and Freeware? Shareware is software that is distributed freely, but usually with some kind of limitation, or with the request of a donation to be made. The software developer does not intend to “give away” a fully-functioning unlimited-use version of the software. If the software is a fully-functioning version, the developer may be relying on your making a donation so that he can continue development of the product.
