Reading MICR Characters On Personal Checks
To use the MICR function with personal checks (for printers with the factory-installed optional
MICR reader), follow the steps below:
CAUTION:
Do not insert checks with staples in them. This may cause paper jams, MICR reading
errors, and damage to the MICR head.
Note:
Be sure that the checks are flat, without curls, folds, or wrinkles.
1. Wait until the computer sends the FS a 0 command to the printer, causing it to enter the
MICR mode. The SLIP light blinks.
2. Turn the check over so that it is face up with the MICR characters on the right side. The MICR
characters must be next to the right edge of the paper inlet.
Figure I-18 Inserting a check
3. Insert the check straight into the paper inlet, using the right edge of the paper inlet as a
guide.
4. Insert the check as far as it will go. The printer will detect the check and start drawing it in.
5. When the printer starts drawing it in, let go of the check immediately. Otherwise, the check
may not be fed straight, and there could be a paper jam or a MICR reading error. The SLIP
light quits blinking but stays on.
6. When printing and MICR reading are finished, the printer ejects the check and the SLIP light
starts blinking again.
7. Remove the check by pulling it straight up; do not pull it at an angle. The SLIP light goes off.
