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:

&%STF Command

When entering MICR mode with the &%STF mode, the printer will:

Check to see if the proper Front Panel Combination has been entered (when enabled).

Allow access to secure check printing resources such as MICR fonts and secure fonts stored in printer ROM.

Allow access to protected signatures, overlays, logos and other important resources stored in password protected nonvolatile flash memory.

Display “MICR Mode Active” on the printer’s front panel.

Disable the printer’s front panel menu system.

Set printer resolution to 600 dpi for printing MICR fonts.

Disable Jam Recovery.

Set the copies parameter to 1.

Sets Toner Low Alarm.

Turn Hex Transfer ON.

NOTE: The &%STF command must be entered at the beginning of the print job before any other print data is received.

&%STH Command

The &%STH command does not set-up the printer for check printing activity as completely as the &%STF command mode. This alternate MICR mode command forces the user to manually program some commands through their host application. It is used when programmers cannot place &%STFPASSWORD$ at the beginning of their job. Use the &%STH command if you experience page ejects while in &%STF mode.
