6 MICR Features

Source Technologies’ Secure MICR Printers are designed to allow both general office document printing and secure MICR document printing. You may print a variety of conventional jobs with regular Lexmark toner using all of the printer features available such as MarkNet and MarkVision network attachment interfaces and network printer utilities. These printers come standard with HP PCL5, PCL6 and PostScript Level 2 emulations and others. Source Technologies has designed features to enhance these printers with MICR mode specific operation that allows you to securely print high quality negotiable documents.

MICR Mode

Your Secure MICR Printer has two operational states: normal and MICR mode. When the printer is in normal printing mode your MICR resources cannot be accessed. Once the printer enters into MICR mode your secure resources are available and the printer starts the process of confirming readiness to print a negotiable document. There are two conditions which must be met before MICR mode is activated:

If the front panel combination lock feature is activated, the correct eight digit combination must be entered from the front panel.

The correct password command must be received by the printer from the software application prior to printing any MICR documents.

MICR Fonts

The E-13B and CMC7 MICR fonts are resident in your printer. Examples of these fonts are in the Appendix of this manual. They can only be accessed after MICR mode is activated by your software. A MICR toner cartridge must be present to print the MICR fonts.

Secure Fonts

Two Source Technologies designed secure fonts: Secure Numeric Font and ICR Secure Numeric Font are resident in your printer. Examples of these fonts are in the Appendix of this manual. Like the MICR fonts, these secure fonts can only be accessed after MICR mode is activated by your software.

The ICR Secure Numeric Font is designed for the convenience area of your check. It can be read by the imaging equipment used by many financial institutions. The Secure Numeric Font should not be used in this area since the reverse image aspect of this font prevents it from being read by this equipment. We recommend using both of these fonts on your checks as they are designed to deter check fraud.

MicroPrint

Your Secure MICR Printer also contains the MicroPrint font. MicroPrint is text less than .010” tall. It can easily be read with a magnifying glass but appears to be a solid line to an unaided
