BOCA RATON, Fla., Oct. 22 -- Oce, a leading provider of production-class digital printing solutions, today announced that it has expanded MICR capability across a number of product lines to firmly establish the company's leadership as a provider of MICR printing solutions. Now MICR support is available across the spectrum of Oce solutions, including the new Oce 750II MICR system, the Oce VarioPrint 5000 family, and the Oce VarioStream 7000 series. As a result, customers can select the industry's widest variety of high quality MICR solutions available across a range of print speeds and capabilities. MICR (Magnetic Image Character Recognition) refers to the magnetized numbers printed across the bottom of checks and other instruments. These numbers must be readable by bank equipment at very high speeds with near perfect reliability, making MICR a very demanding printing application. Oce MICR systems are designed to help customers avoid problems and downtime and achieve success with these challenging documents. "Our growing complement of MICR solutions demonstrates Oce's leadership in providing our customers with the right tools for whatever jobs they face," said Carl Joachim, vice president of marketing for Oce Printing Systems USA. "From production-level output to distributed printing environments, Oce offers a broad range of advanced, reliable MICR solutions. The newest Oce 750II MICR system rounds out our offering on the lower volume range, while the Quick Change Developer Station makes it incredibly easy and economical to add MICR capabilities at the mid- and high-end." Companies in all market segments, including banks, financial services, insurance, and service bureaus rely on high-performance Oce printers for high- quality MICR output. With on-demand printing of high-quality MICR output, organizations can save time and eliminate the need and risk of storing blank pre-printed checks and other negotiable documents. QCDS-based MICR output is fully backed by the Oce MICR Guarantee, which represents the industry's best experience and support. This gives customers complete assurance of reliable performance and quality that set an industry standard.
