IDAutomation MICR CMC-7 Font Package Demo

NOTE: This sample CMC7 font should only be used for testing and evaluation purposes because it does not contain the number "5". If you order the CMC7 font license, you will receive fully functional TrueType, OpenType, PCL and PostScript versions of the CMC7 fonts. All sample fonts contain the letter "S" in the font name.

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 different MICR font that is used in the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, Panama, UK, and a few other countries. If there is an interest in this font, visit the MICR E13B Font site.

After the font is installed, it should be printed at 12 points with a high quality 300 DPI or greater resolution printer. 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 font size may be adjusted accordingly. Three narrow versions of the fonts are also provided to support printers that print slightly darker than normal. The narrow versions 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%.

To create the correct output for the font, you will need to select the font in your application using the appropriate letters:

Letter to Type: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E
CMC-7 Output: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E

Note: If the "CMC-7 Output" line does not appear in the correct font, it is because the CMC-7 font is not properly installed.
