bytes are 0 through 9, A through F. Alpha key characters can be upper or lower case. Command characters must be upper case. An example of a valid key command - &%STSETDESKEY5f00FF7E3DA938eb$ The key value remains in the printer until another key command is received. Printer power cycles and printer reset commands do not affect the key value.
The dollar sign ($) is the command terminator and is required.
Set AES Decryption Key Command &%STSETAESKEY<32 Hex Characters>$
The command also requires a MICR Password Command be sent prior to the Key Command.
The key data is similar to DES, but is twice in length with 32 Hex character format representing the 16 byte or
Turn DES Decryption ON | &%STDON$ |
Turn AES Decryption ON | &%STAON$ |
All data following the $ command terminator will be decrypted using the current key value stored in the printer and the DES or AES algorithm. Decryption continues until a Decryption OFF command is received, a printer panel reset occurs, or printer power is cycled. Printer software language resets do not stop decryption.
Turn DES Decryption OFF | &%STDOFF$ |
Turn AES Decryption OFF | &%STAOFF$ |
The OFF command resides within the encrypted data, and must also be encrypted. The OFF occurs after an
MFP Copy Defeat Commands
A Secure MICR printer with the Multi Function Printer (MFP) feature can scan and copy documents. This allows the end users to copy MICR documents with MICR toner. The Copy Defeat command will block the copy function when a MICR toner cartridge is installed, but allow the copy function with standard toner.
