MICRpoint Feature
Fine positioning of the MICR Line characters is accomplished using the MICRpoint
feature. The feature only works with the SMD & SM7 MICR Print Commands using the
printer’s resident MICR fonts.
The exact location of the entire MICR Line can be moved left or right, up or down by the
printer operator through the printer’s front panel. Only the MICR Line is moved. All other
printed information is not affected. This allows the operator, using a MICR Positioning
Gauge and the MICRpoint feature, to precisely locate the MICR characters on the
specific printer in use to address slight print location variances.
Each value entered by the operator is equal to 1/10th of a Point, a decipoint ( 720
Decipoints = 1 inch ). The maximum value that can be entered is +/- 99 Decipoints
allowing the entire MICR Line to move up or down, left or right a maximum of 0.1375
inches from the print data stream’s intended location.
The figure below shows proper MICR character placement using a MICR Positioning
Gauge. The best location has the right side of the characters at or near the right edge of
the location boxes. An operator may have to choose a compromise location that best
addresses the entire line.
To Enter MICRpoint values, enter the MICR Menu through the operator panel, select the
SETUP MENU, and then the MICRpoint Adjustment feature. Horizontal and Vertical
options are displayed. It’s through these Horizontal and Vertical options we can enter
maximum value of 99, and also choose + / - . A + horizontal value moves the characters
to the right. A + vertical value moves the characters down.
