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.

When entering MICR mode with the &%STH command, 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 which are stored in printer ROM. It also allows access to protected signatures, overlays, logos and other important resources stored in password protected nonvolatile flash memory.

Turn Hex Transfer ON.

NOTE: The &%STH command can occur within a datastream after the page has started. The &%STH command, unlike the &%STF command, can be issued anywhere on the page.
