Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this MICR cartridge different from a regular black cartridge?

The toner inside is MICR toner: it is loaded with magnetic iron oxide so bank reader-sorter machines can read the routing and account line printed along the bottom of a check. The cartridge is stamped CF214A, the HP 14A code, but the fill is formulated specifically for check printing.

Can I print payroll and vendor checks with it?

Yes. That is exactly its job in the Enterprise 700 M712dn and the M725 MFP series commonly used by accounting departments. Pair it with proper check stock and your MICR line prints in the magnetic ink the banking system expects.

Will my bank definitely accept checks printed with this cartridge?

We cannot guarantee acceptance, because that decision rests with your bank and also depends on your check stock, the MICR line position and your printer's alignment. Print a small test run first and have your bank scan and verify it before you commit a full check batch.

How many checks or pages does one cartridge produce?

It is rated at 10,000 pages at 5 percent coverage, the same yardstick as the standard cartridge. Checks are light-coverage documents, so a cartridge typically carries an accounting office through many months of weekly payroll and vendor runs.

Can I use this cartridge for ordinary office documents too?

It will print them, and the output looks like normal black toner. Most offices still keep it dedicated to check stock, simply because MICR toner is bought for one purpose and regular documents do not need the magnetic fill.

What if the cartridge fails or prints badly?

It is backed by a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, so a defective cartridge is replaced or refunded. If you are unsure about setup or signal strength on your test checks, our support team answers Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
