We need to print MICR (basically as part of check printing) using PostScript. We have a Unisys UDS 140 (MICR Enhanced) Printer. I see two ways to print MICR thru this printer 1. As per the MICR manual with the printer, we need to enable MICR mode thru PCL commands (&%STFPASSWORD command) and then print the MICR code again using PCL commands (&%SMD) 2. Use a third party MICR font and then print using PostScript. My questions are: If we follow the first way, how can we enable the MICR printing by firing PCL commands from PostScript. If we follow the second way, will this be of acceptable quality (readable by MICR Reader). If yes aren't we bypassing the security (enforced through font panel lock and password, which are enabled by PCL commands) Related to second option, I would like to know how can I print a particular font from PostScript, do we need to have PostScript Font files and how do we include them in PS Files. I saw fonts embedded in PS files, how is that acheived. Thanks in advance
