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.

Reading MICR characters on personal checks

To use the MICR function with personal checks, follow the steps below:

CAUTION:

Do not insert checks with staples in them. This may cause paper jams, MICR reading errors, and damage to the MICR head.

Note:

Be sure that the checks are flat, without curls, folds, or wrinkles.

1.Wait until the computer sends the FS a 0 command to the printer, causing it to enter the MICR mode. The SLIP light blinks.
