I don’t have a MICR gauge can I still verify the MICR line is aligned?

For Horizontal Positioning:

If you do not have a MICR gauge, using check stock and a ruler, the right edge of the check to the left border of the Transit Character would measure 4 7/16 inches. This corresponds to space 33 of the MICR fields at the Mekorma Checkbook Setup and/or using a MICR gauge to denote space 33.

For Vertical Positioning:

To move the MICR Line down 1/4", add -0.24 to the MICR Line Vertical Adjustment value under Properties pane in the Mekorma Configurator. This value is displayed in the Properties window of the Configurator when you click on the check portion of your check stub format.

There are eight (8) MICR characters to an inch. For each character you need to move the line to the left you will subtract 0.130 to the existing horizontal value. Similarly, if you wish to move characters to the right on a per character move, you will add 0.130 to the existing horizontal value.

If you do not have a MICR gauge, you can adjust based on these principles.
