Installation And Setup) and select Properties. Click on the Version tab. Note the File Version, Part Number, and Description.

INSTALLATION

The drivers are installed by means of the Windows “Add New Hardware” facility in Windows 95/98/ME and the "INF" installation feature in Windows NT/2000/XP. Refer to "Appendix A. Installation And Setup" for a full description of the installation procedure.

MICR Format Numbers

In order to retrieve the built-in check properties (chk_***), the driver automatically configures the MICR units to format number 6500. However, there are some cases, especially outside the United States, where the check information is not consistent with format number 6500. In these cases, the installer has the option of modifying the format number string in the OEMSETUP.INF file.

The format number can be changed to another value (e.g., 7700 to allow use of a flex format) by editing the field following the format number entry (%CheckFormatCodeName%) in the OEMSETUP.INF file. This must be changed in three places depending on which drivers are to be used (MICR+, MiniMICR RS232, and MiniMICR Wedge). By defining a flex format that would duplicate the 6500 output format, the driver will still be able to parse the check data and present the individual properties (e.g., chk_account, chk_amount, chk_number, and chk_transit). If a suitable format cannot be developed to present the individual properties, the driver will still be able to present the check data (chk_data) as received from the MICR reader. If the existing format number in the MICR device is suitable, set the %CheckFormatCodeName% entry to null (i.e., “”), so it will not be modified by the Driver.

Refer to the appropriate MICR Technical Reference Manual for more information about the use of format numbers and available MICR fields.
