 Security Font Features

Security Fonts are used to securely print text, names and currency amounts on highly secure documents, such as a bank check, in a manner that cannot be easily altered and may prevent forgery. This package includes 5 separate Security Fonts in 6 different font formats, both normal and descriptive, where the written characters appear below or embedded into the character. The fonts include both upper and lower case alpha characters, as well as numbers, symbols and multiple currency characters including the Dollar, Euro, Pound and Yen.

Security Fonts are used to prevent forgery on bank checks.

 Specifications

Several font names are provided to support different print environments. The following fonts are provided in the package:

Font Name Purpose
IDAutomationSec1B Security font with black letters
IDAutomationSec1W Security font with white letters
IDAutomationHSec1B Security font with black letters and human readable characters below
IDAutomationHSec1W Security font with white letters and human readable characters below
IDAutomationSecurityBlock Security font with white letters inside black block and human readable characters embedded.
  • To help prevent forgery, IDAutomation recommends utilizing the start and stop characters with the secure fonts. These characters will combine the ends of the lines together. The { } brackets are the "rounded" start and stop characters. The [ ] brackets are the "square" start and stop characters. For example, to securely print a name on a bank check with square ends, print [Jon_Doe] with IDAutomation's security font selected. (The IDAutomationSecurityBlock font does not require a start and stop character.) 
  • The space character has been moved to the underscore "_" location because the space character (ASCII 32) simply prints a space.
  • The following chart shows the ASCII locations for specific characters:
ASCII Location Character Description
128 Euro
162 ¢ Cent
163 £ Sterling Pound
164 ¤ Currency
165 ¥ Yen

At certain point sizes, security fonts can seem distorted on the screen because the screen resolutions are low. Fonts are represented by the dots of the output device, whether it is screen pixels or the dots of a laser printer. IDAutomation fonts are created to be printed on high resolution ink-jet and laser printers 300 DPI or greater.

The following is a summary of licensing and pricing, refer to section 1 of the License Agreement for full details about the license.

  • The Small Company Developer License costs $235. With this license, the rights of the Developer License are granted to all organizations with gross annual revenue or funding of less than 2 million U.S. Dollars (or equivalent amount in a foreign currency) with a signed Small Company Agreement.
  • The Developer License costs $470 and allows one developer royalty-free distribution of the Software internally (in the same organization) and externally (outside the organization bundled with an application) up to 10,000 user licenses, provided you adhere to the Developer License distribution terms.
  • The 5 Developer License costs $940 and grants the rights of the Developer License for up to 5 developers and 20,000 user licenses.
  • The Unlimited Developer License costs $1390 and grants the rights of the Developer License for an unlimited number of developers and an unlimited number of user licenses.
  • The Single User License costs $79 and allows use of the Software for one effective user in your organization. The number of effective users for software licensing is determined by the method defined below that returns the greatest number. However, if the Software is used in connection with a high speed printer that prints over 55 pages per minute or a system (including all hardware, printer and software) having a cost totaling over 50,000 USD or equivalent in a foreign currency, a Developer License is required.
    1. The number of users contributing to the data that is printed with the Software. For example, 50 users entering or editing data on a host where only 1 program prints barcodes to 1 printer would require 50 user licenses.
    2. The number of users that have the Software installed on their CPU.
    3. The number of printers that are being printed to with the Software. For example, 3 users printing to 5 printers would require 5 licenses.

  • Multiple Single User Licenses are obtained by ordering either the applicable license (for example, a 5 User License) or multiple Single User Licenses of the same product, which is determined by the following:
    1 Single User License = 1 User License
    2 Single User Licenses = 5 User License
    3 Single User Licenses = 25 User License
    4 Single User Licenses = 50 User License
    5 Single User Licenses = 100 User License
    6 Single User Licenses = Developer License Granted for 10,000 licensed users
