4.Insert the check as far as it will go. The printer will detect the check and start drawing it in.

6.When printing and MICR reading are finished, the printer ejects the check and the SLIP light starts blinking again.

7.Remove the check by pulling it straight up; do not pull it at an angle. The SLIP light goes on.
