Sizes OCR-A can be printed in three different sizes—I, III, and IV—to accommodate a variety of printing devices. Each size is distinguished by its scale factor and stroke width: Size I – used for typewriters and printers Size III – used by cash registers and accounting machines Size IV – used by credit card imprinters Licensing The OCR-A font is free for both personal and commercial use.
