Entering MICR Mode
To print MICR documents, your Secure MICR Printer uses special alphanumeric text commands called MICR Mode commands.
There are two different commands which activate MICR mode printing: &%STFPASSWORD$ and &%STHPASSWORD$. The &%STF is the default command and is recommended for most applications.
To use the &%STF command, it must be entered at the beginning of the job datastream. The &%STH command can be entered anywhere prior to accessing secured resources.
The &%STH command is not as powerful as the &%STF command because it does not set as many parameters for MICR printing. Both commands and descriptions are as follows:

•Display “MICR Mode Active” on the printer’s front panel.
•Disable the printer’s front panel menu system.
