Enable or disable MICR test mode
MICR test mode tests the MICR operation. In this mode the MICR reads the characters on a
check, but instead of transmitting the values to the software it prints them out.
MICR test is enabled or disabled by selecting the “Diagnostic Modes” sub-menu of the
configuration menu. See “Configuring the printer”, page 32 for instructions on how to enter
the configuration menu.
To run the MICR test mode:
1 Enable the MICR test mode through the
configuration menu, see page 32. Then exit the
configuration menu.
2 Insert a check into the slip station. (See “Verifying
and validating checks,” page 28.)
3 Once a check is detected by the printer, the platen
closes and the characters are read by the MICR
check reader. The decoded data is printed as
characters on receipt paper. The platen is then
opened, and the test
is re-started.
4 The printed characters should match the characters
on the check. If the MICR check reader misreads a
character, a question mark “?” is printed. If no
characters can be read, “NO MICR CHARACTERS”
is printed.
To exit the MICR test mode:
1 Enter the configuration menu again.
2 Disable the MICR test mode.
3 Exit the configuration menu.
The printer returns to normal mode and can again
communicate with the host computer.
