the company is the first Xerox customer in the UK to use the newest MICR-equipped Xerox model after beta-testing the machine for more than a year.
Designed for the printing of high security materials, such as the numbers and symbols typically found at the bottom of cheques, the new MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition) laser printer module on the Xerox Nuvera range uses special electromagnetic toner.
Xerox said that when banks process cheques, the documents are passed through a reader that magnetises the ink and translates the information in to digital characters, ensuring that the digits (such as the sort number and account number) are verified.

Scotch Kirkpatrick, managing director at Datagraphic, said: "We chose the Xerox Nuvera MICR model because it allows us to reach new markets and guarantee business growth in transactional print - which has increased by more than 30 per cent per year in the past three years." He added: "After a year of beta testing the equipment, we realised that the Nuvera could offer something unique to our customers.
One of the key benefits is its ability to combine transactional documents with personalised marketing messages using techniques such as white space management combined with database mining.
This system is more cost-effective for our customers and adds significant value to the documents we produce." He explained that added value was particularly important because of the enhanced image quality of 4,800 dots per inch (dpi) compared to the 600dpi the company could previously achieve.
Datagraphic is using its Xerox Nuvera 144 systems with Printsoft's PreS software, which enables personalised printing for variable data, including transactional printing of cheques and security documents such as vouchers, payroll and billing documents for banks and financial services companies.
The claimed near litho print quality is said to enable Datagraphic to offer new security features currently being demanded by banks and end users.
It combats fraud tampering and complements recent technology associated with Chip and PIN cards, said Xerox.
The company's Nuvera MICR machines also contain new finishing modules, including bookbinding alongside pressure-seal enclosing to ensure well-presented documents.
Paul Stead, monochrome marketing manager for Xerox UK's Production Group, said: "Datagraphic is a long-term Xerox customer and we have always worked in partnership with the company to provide the best print technology to help its business grow and develop." He added: "The upgrade to the Nuvera MICR is a perfect example of the right technology to enable Datagraphic to capture new business in a niche market.
The flexibility that this device offers, allows print professionals to vary the jobs they produce, from MICR applications that can detect fraud, to direct-mail pieces, books and statements at image quality levels, previously not experienced.".
