High-Speed Encoder
1
The encoder module is just to the right of the reader module.
In most models of the transport, this module contains an encoder. An encoder
is a kind of printer that prints additional information on the documents (in
MICR characters) so that they can be further processed by other machines.
The high-speed encoder consists of a typewheel that presses against an ink
ribbon. Depending on what kind of typewheel was ordered with your
encoder, it prints either the E-13B or the CMC 7 font.
If your transport is not used for encoding, the encoder module contains no
encoder. Instead, it has a stager where it receives documents from the reader
module and passes them on to the endorser module. If the computer tells it
to, the encoder module can also stop documents temporarily to smooth out
the flow down the track.
Taking Care of the Encoder
1
When the encoder ribbon is almost used up or has broken, your transport
stops moving documents, and a message appears on your screen.
For instructions on replacing and repairing the encoder ribbon, see Chapter
Four.
