MICR CMC-7 Font Features:

---

The CMC-7 font is a special MICR barcode font that is used in Mexico, France, Spain, Brazil and most Spanish speaking countries to print characters for magnetic recognition and optical character recognition systems. The CMC-7 MICR font contains ten specially designed numeric characters 0 through 9, and five special symbols. The MICR E13B font is a special font that is used in the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, Panama, UK, and a few other countries. If you are interested in this font you may visit our MICR E13B Font site. Details of the Font Advantage Package are as follows:

• Created Directly From ISO Specifications - the MICR CMC7 fonts were created according to ISO (International Standards Organization) specifications for MICR printing.
• Easy to Use - although the CMC-7 fonts are scaleable, you should use the font size of 12 to print the CMC-7 fonts. Choosing the font size of 12 sets the CMC7 font height to 3.2 mm which is the standard for France and most other countries. If your requirements are different, the CMC 7 font size can be adjusted accordingly. The following is sample code from Visual Basic that selects the CMC-7 MICR font and size.
  Printer.FontName = "IDAutomationCMC7"
  Printer.FontSize = 12
  Printer.Print variable
• Embedding Support - the embedding support of our MICR fonts enables embedding in special PDF document applications such as Adobe Writer, Distiller, PDF Lib and FOP TTF Reader. This level of embedding also supports creation of OpenType and TrueDoc fonts for webpages.
• Different Versions Provided - besides the normal CMC7 font in the package, three narrow versions are also provided to support printers that print slightly darker than normal. The narrow version fonts have a font name ending in n?? where ?? is a two digit number that represents the percentage the vertical bars were decreased. For example, IDAutomationCMC7n10 is a font that is narrow by 10%.
