Workgroup MICR printer
SP C840DNM Color MICR Printer
The SP C840DNM prints the check background, the security features, and the MICR line in a single pass at 45 pages per minute, in full color, on blank stock.
Built on the Ricoh SP C840DN
A 45 ppm Ricoh color engine, re-engineered for MICR. Your Ricoh service organization already supports it.
Security printed in, not on
VOID Pantograph, Eurion Dot Security, and watermarks imprinted into the colored background.
300 digital check forms
Supplied through CheckStream Color Plus, so a color check is a file rather than an inventory item.
Color check printing without pre-printed color stock
This is the machine that removes the last reason to hold pre-printed check stock. A department that wants a branded color check normally has to order it, store it, secure it, and destroy the remainder every time a bank account, an address, or a logo changes. Printing the whole document on demand removes all four of those costs at once.
The security features are printed rather than pre-applied: VOID Pantograph, Eurion Dot Security, and watermarks imprinted into the colored background. CheckStream Color Plus supplies over 300 digital color check forms to print against. Black and full color both run at 45 pages per minute, with a 50,000 page recommended monthly volume.
