Send Data After Error
The request Send Data After Error specifies whether the MICR Reader will return data to
the Host after a read error. If YES is selected and the MICR Reader detects a read error,
the MICR Reader will still send the data back to the Host. If NO is selected and the
MICR Reader finds an error, it will discard the data and nothing will be sent. The error
conditions are listed in Table 4-4.
Send Status After Data
The Send Status After Data option makes the MICR Reader append a two-digit
error/status code to the end of the MICR data. For most formats (See Appendix A), the
error/status code will always be preceded by a forward slash (/). The error/status codes
are listed in Table 4-4.
For example, if a Canadian check (code 08) is read and had no errors, and the MICR data
is “1234567890”, then the message from the MICR Reader will look like this:
MICR Data: 1234567890/08
The status code is always at the end of the data, not the end of the message. For example,
using the above conditions, with the message format set to send <STX> and <ETX>, the
message from the MICR Reader will look like this:
MICR Data: <STX>1234567890/08<ETX>

reported.
•
All unreadable MICR characters are transmitted as an “?” ASCII character (hex 3F), except
for Format 00xx (See Appendix A).
