Canon VarioPrint 6000+ Series - Manual (Page 22)

Activate the MICR mode
Introduction
If your printer contains the optional MICR license, you can use the machine for MICR printing.
Then you can print typical transactional documents like checks and other valuable documents.
Before you can use the MICR printing functionality, you must first activate the MICR mode in the
settings editor. The printer then identifies itself as a MICR printer on your host (in the case of
IPDS).
PrintGuard modules
In the MICR mode, the PrintGuard modules are activated automatically. It is not possible to de-
activate the PrintGuard modules in this mode. The PrintGuard modules postfuse your prints to
improve the quality and durability of the prints.
Before you begin
Make sure that the list of [Scheduled jobs] is empty. Otherwise, you cannot activate transaction
printing.
To guarantee the quality of the MICR fonts, make sure that the [Quality enhancement] setting in
the Settings Editor ([Transaction printing] - [Setups] - [PCL] or [IPDS] - [Quality enhancement]) is
disabled. By factory default, this setting is disabled.
