MagTek MICRbase - Manual (Page 9)

SECTION 1. OVERVIEW
The MICRbase setup program allows the user to control all the programmable options available
for the RS232 and Wedge interfaces of the MICR Check Reader.
The program provides a graphical, user-friendly interface that hides the complexities involved in
manually entering MICR commands. The user is no longer required to know the specific MICR
commands or the detailed data associated with each command. However, the program still
allows manual entry of commands for advanced users.
In a typical application, the program can be used to query the MICR Reader about its current
setup. The setup options are presented in an easy-to-read screen, where the user can review them.
Then, with a few clicks, the options can be modified and immediately downloaded to the MICR
Reader. The user can also use the program to verify the MICR Reader operation by reading
checks or cards and observing the data received on the screen.
