Control Characters and MICR Data – Subset, Fullset
Control Characters may be added to the MICR data message. The characters are always in the
following locations:
<STX> <ESC> data <ETX> <ENTER> <ESC>
The control characters are as follows:
OPTION CONTROL
CHARACTER
Leading <STX>
<STX>
Leading <ESC>
<ESC>
Trailing <ETX>
<ETX>
Trailing <ESC>
<ESC>
For example, if <STX> and <ENTER> boxes are checked, the message from the MICR Reader
will look like this:
MICR Data: <STX>data<ENTER>
Send Data After Error – Subset, Fullset
This box specifies whether the MICR Reader will return data to the host after a read error. If the
box is checked and the unit reads a check with an error, the MICR Reader will send the data back
to the host. If the box is not checked and the MICR Reader finds an error, it will discard the data
and nothing will be sent. The error conditions are in the table below.
Send Status – Subset, Fullset
This box makes the MICR Plus append a two-digit error/status code to the end of the MICR data.
For most formats the error/status code will always be preceded by a forward slash (/).
