it prints them out.

Insert a check into the slip station. See “Verifying
and validating checks” on pages 35-36..
After the printer detects the check, 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 then opens, and the test is
re-started.
The printed characters should match the characters
on the check. If the MICR check reader misreads a
character, it will print a question mark (“?”). If the
reader can’t read any of the characters, “NO MICR
CHARACTERS” appears. 1.
