6. MICR Features

Source Technologies’ Secure MICR Printer is designed to allow both general office document printing and secure MICR document printing. You may print a variety of conventional jobs with MICR toner using all of the printer features available. These printers come standard with PCL5e, PCL6, and PostScript Level 2 emulation. Source Technologies has designed features to enhance the base printer for MICR specific printing that allows you to securely print high quality negotiable documents.

Secure MICR

Your ST Secure MICR Printer has resident fonts for printing MICR documents password secured in printer Flash memory. Accessing these resources requires specific PJL commands to unlock and relock these font resources. While unlocked they can be assessed with standard PCL5e commands. This is discussed in more detail in Section 7: MICR Commands. In addition to the secured font resources, the printer has been internally modified to ensure high quality printing with MICR toner. Specific print densities, transfer voltages, and fusing temperatures are factory pre-set. The ST Secure MICR printer only supports Source Technologies MICR Toner cartridges.

MICR Fonts

The E-13B MICR font, designed specifically for the printer, is resident in Flash memory in your printer. Examples of the font characters are in the Appendix A of this manual. The font can only be activated after the appropriate PJL commands with the correct “PASSWORD” have been sent to the printer. The alternative MICR Font, CMC7, used in certain countries is also resident in Flash memory.

Secure Fonts

Two Source Technologies designed numeric secure fonts: Secure Numeric and ICR Secure Numeric, are resident and password protected in Flash memory in your printer. Examples of these fonts are in the Appendix B of this manual. Like the MICR font, these fonts can only be accessed after sending PJL commands with the correct “PASSWORD” from your application software.

The ICR Secure Numeric Font is designed for use in the Convenience Amount area of a check. This area contains the numeric dollar value and is located on the right side of the check approximately 2 inches up from the bottom edge. The imaging recognition features available in today’s check reader/sorter equipment can optically read it. The Secure Numeric Font should not be used in this area of the check. It is a reverse image font and cannot be read automatically by the equipment.

We recommend you consider the use of both fonts 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
