The following methods are available to execute MICR commands:
•
Insta-change checks
•
MICRbase setup program for Windows
•
MagTek Device Drivers for Windows
•
User application without drivers
INSTA-CHANGE CHECKS
The Insta-Change check is a MICR encoded document that contains commands and options used to
reset the parameters of the MICR Reader. Multiple commands and options may be contained on one
Insta-Change check. When used, the Insta-Change checks are run through the MICR Reader the
same as a standard check, and the options to be used are automatically selected. To obtain Insta-
Change checks, notify a MagTek representative and specify what options will be used. To operate
Insta-Change checks, install the MICR Reader as described in Section 2, and watch the LED
indicator. When the Insta-Change check is run through the MICR Reader and read successfully, the
LED indicator will blink green. If the LED indicator turns red, the read is not successful. Try again
or use a different Insta-Change check.
MICRBASE SETUP PROGRAM FOR WINDOWS
The MICRbase setup program (P/N 22000021) allows the user to control all the programmable
options available in the MICR 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 commands
or the detailed data associated with each command. However, the program still allows manual entry
of commands for advanced users. For more detailed information refer to the MICRbase Setup
Program Reference Manual (P/N 99875102).
The MICRbase setup program may also be downloaded from the internet at www.magtek.com under
Software/Demo Programs.
