Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this Q1338A a MICR cartridge?
The cartridge itself is the Q1338A — the one HP also calls the 38A — priced at $56.53, but the toner inside is a MICR fill: Magnetic Ink Character Recognition toner, carrying magnetic particles so the character line along the bottom of a check can be read by bank sorting machines. It serves the LaserJet 4200 series, the LaserJet 4200 included.
Why can't that line at the bottom of a check be printed with regular toner?
Because the routing, account and check numbers in that line are not read by eye — bank equipment senses the magnetic signal formed into each character as the check passes through. Ordinary toner is a plastic powder with almost no magnetic content, so a line printed with it carries no signal the reader can pick up, and the check drops out for manual handling or rejection.
How should I prove the setup before printing real checks?
Start with a small test batch on your normal check stock — a few checks, not a run. Inspect the bottom line under good light for crisp, complete characters, then take those samples to your bank and ask them to pass the checks through their own reader. Only when the bank's equipment reads them cleanly should the setup graduate to live payments.
Will my bank accept checks printed with this cartridge — guaranteed?
No, and no cartridge maker can honestly guarantee a bank's acceptance. Whether a check clears the reader depends on the bank's equipment, the check stock, and the printer's condition as well as the toner in it. The test batch and the bank's own check are the safeguards; treat any promise beyond that with suspicion.
How many pages does the cartridge print in check work?
It is rated at up to 12,000 pages at the standard 5% coverage behind yield ratings. A check page lays down little toner — the MICR line, the payee block, the amount — so a cartridge kept for check runs typically serves for a long stretch of payment cycles.
What warranty and returns cover it?
The cartridge carries a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns. Orders ship from our warehouses in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia and California — see the shipping and returns page for details — and our support team is available Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
About This Q1338A MICR Cartridge
Check printing is usually delegated to one trusted machine, and this cartridge is stocked for that machine's drawer: a single Q1338A (38A) MICR black cartridge, rated at up to 12,000 pages, at $56.53. At reorder time, match the full description — Q1338A with MICR toner — because the magnetic fill, not the cartridge shell, is what the bank's readers depend on.
Prove it once with a trial batch and the bank's own test, and the routine settles: check stock in, payment run out, and a bottom line the sorting machines can actually read.
Compatibility is platform-wide: LaserJet 4200, LaserJet 4200dtn, LaserJet 4200dtns, LaserJet 4200dtnsl and LaserJet 4200n all run on the 38A (Q1338A). Also stocked for these printers: the standard-toner 38A (Q1338A) single cartridge and the standard-toner 38A (Q1338A) two-pack.
