Cancel – All RS232 Models
Returns to the Main Screen. Does not retain configuration changes to the dialog box.
MORE OPTIONS – MICRIMAGE ONLY
On Figure 5-4, Configure MICRImage, the button “More Options” displays Figure 5-5, More
MICRImage Options, and lists the following:
Switches (SWD, SWE, SWI)
These boxes are for status only. As each option in the dialog box is checked or changed, the
switch setting in the appropriate box will change.
Baud
This drop-down menu permits the selection or change of the MICR Reader baud rate.
Data Bits, Stop Bits, Parity
This drop-down menu permits the selection or change of the possible combinations of these three
selections for the MICR Reader.
Intercharacter Delay
This box is used to increase the time between characters transmitted from the MICR Reader.
The time is increased to 13 milliseconds. This parameter affects character rate but not baud rate;
that is, each character takes the same time to transmit but the time between characters is
increased.
CTS/DSR Use
When this box is unchecked, the MICR Reader sends data out to the auxiliary port without
waiting for the CTS (Clear to Send) and DSR (Data Set Ready) signals to be active. When this
box is checked, the MICR Reader waits for the CTS and DSR signals to be active before sending
data. Image Output Port
MICR/MSR Output Port
This parameter determines which port is used to send MICR and MSR data. If the Telnet option
is chosen, but no connection has been established, data will be sent out the Host Port.
Image Type
This option selects the number of bits used for each pixel, or in other words, the number of
shades of gray. The bitonal image is compressed using CCITT-G4, a lossless compression (no
loss of image quality), resulting in file sizes approximately 10K. Grayscale images are not
