Notes:
•
The LED indicator will turn red on all error conditions.
•
The absence of a check number is not considered an error.
•
If a multiple error occurs, the error or status code with the highest priority is reported.
•
All unreadable MICR characters are transmitted as an “?” ASCII character (hex 3F), except
for Format 00xx (See Section 5).
Send Status After Data Parameter
The Send Status After Data Parameter makes the MICRImage 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 2-4.
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 MICRImage will look like this:
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 MICRImage will look like this:
<STX>1234567890/08<ETX>
