Unisys EFP9800 Micr Commands, Read Micr Data and Transmit, Define Parsing Format, Save in Nvram

Section 11

MICR Commands and Parsing

These commands control the Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR) check reader, including how it parses the character strings on checks. This section explains these commands.

The section that follows, “MICR Parsing,” describes how to create a parsing format and how to create and maintain an exception table. If you would like a copy of a software utility that performs these functions rather than developing your own program using the command codes described in this section, please contact Unisys. The software utility can be used as provided or can be incorporated into your own application.

MICR Commands

Read MICR Data and Transmit

Reads the MICR data and either ejects the check or positions the check for printing, depending on the value of n.

Hexadecimal	Decimal	ASCII	Value of n (hexadecimal)
1B 77 n	27 119 n	ESC w n	01	(Read MICR and Eject Check)
			02	(Read MICR and Position Check for
			Printing)

Define Parsing Format, Save in NVRAM

Defines and saves parsing format. See “Parsing Parameter String Options” on the next page. Send this command at the start of day or use in the setup application. If no parameters are selected, parsing is not performed.

Hexadecimal	Decimal	ASCII
