MICR Commands and Parsing

11–8

3255

4073–002

Notes

All parameters are ASCII characters, i.e. greater than or equal to 0x20, with the
exception of a non-ASCII character enclosed in single quotes as a field
separator. This applies both to parameter specifications sent from application
to printer, and to MICR data returned from printer to application.

Parameters are positional; their order in the parameter string is the order in
which the parsed MICR data will be returned. Unrecognized parameters will be
ignored, and processing of the parsing parameters will stop. Any data remaining
after the unrecognized parameter will be treated as normal input data.

If parameters are not defined (for example, ESC wP <CR> or ESC wp <CR>)
parsing is not selected. One status byte, followed by all decoded MICR
characters will be returned. See the descriptions of the commands. This is the
default parsing format if no other is selected:
