I have spent hours searching for technical info on this subject, but have come up empty. Like most, I build reports (.NET Winforms app) using a reporting engine like Crystal Reports, DevExpress (my choice), etc. When a special font is needed, just install it on the machine and set the appropriate display control to use it. I would think this would be the same for MICR. However, the printer vendor (https://www.troygroup.com/shop/printers/micr-printers/m406dn-micr-printer.html) keeps mentioning including PCL commands and can provide no further info.
Does anyone have any experience printing 'reports' using MICR font? Is it necessary to use PCL commands?
Do I need to scrap using a reporting engine and build something using PCL?
@AlphonseG , Welcome to Microsoft Q&A, I suggest that you could contact the printer vendor to check if you could use the MICR font. Since your problem is not related to c# and more related to 3rd party product, I will remove dotnet-csharp tag and add not supported tag.
Thanks for your understanding.
As i already stated, I contacted 2 vendors and they are of no help.
My question asks is anyone has any experience using MICR font, not the specific printer of vendor. So, I respectfully disagree with your assessment.
As for the tag, there are limited tags available - none for printing or reports or fonts, etc.

If PCL driver is used, it is common to set font download in driver properties
If you have a Canon printer or copier you can use the UFRII driver, regardless of fonts
Non-native English language, use google translate to answer you.
Thanks for the reply, however, that doesn't answer my question.
For anyone else that might run into this, here is the solution.
I downloaded a free MICR E13-B font, used it in the appropriate places on a standard report (I use Devexpress).
Client installed a toner cartridge with magnetic ink in a standard laser printer.
The bank approved the results and it has been in production use for over a month.
