After the slip is detected, the printer moves the slip back and forth to detect the position of the top edge of the slip. If the setting position of the slip is not correct, the printer takes a few seconds to detect the position of the top edge of the slip.

5. After printing, remove the slip.

Using the MICR Reader (Option)

If your printer has the factory installed optional Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR) reader that enables the printer to read and process MICR characters on personal checks, read this section.
