MICRImage Check Reader
20
EMF Detect
The EMF Detect option allows the MICR Reader, when idle, to monitor EMF interference in its
immediate environment. If YES is selected, the LED indicator will blink red/green when the
MICR Reader detects a signal with amplitude large enough to affect check reading. If NO is
selected, the MICR Reader will not monitor nor indicate the presence of EMF interference.
FC – FORMAT CHANGE COMMAND
Formats are used by the MICRImage to process and transmit the MICR fields. The Format
command allows the selection of a format from the Format List, Appendix A. The data for this
command consists of 4 digits (ASCII characters 0-9). To execute, send the command as follows:
FC 6600<CR> (with data)
or
FC <CR>
(without data)
When sending data, all 4 digits must be provided. The MICRImage will execute the command
but it will not reply. The new settings become effective immediately. To make this command
permanent, use the SA command described below.
If no data is provided, the MICRImage will respond with the current setting.
FILE NAMES
Each image that is transmitted or saved is given a unique file name. A file specification
describes the content of a file name and may be given on the command line by using the ‘N’
parameter of the TI or SI command. See Section 4. If the ‘N’ parameter is not used in these
commands, the file specification is taken from property 12. (See the PR12 command in Section 6
for the characters that may be used in a file specification.) If property 12 is empty, a default file
name is used. If the file name specified already exists in internal storage, an extension is added
to the file name to make it unique. For example, if the name to be created is IMAGE.TIF and it
already exists, the name IMAGE_0.TIF will be created and used for the current image.
DOCUMENT SIZE LIMITS
Used to set minimum and maximum size limits for scanned documents. An improper scan can
result in a short or skewed image. It is usually not desirable to transmit or save such an image.
If size limits are set and the image falls outside those limits, the auto-send, auto-save, and append
image operations will not be performed and an error will be returned. See PR30 – PR33 in
Section 6.
MICR LINE TECHNICAL OPTIONS
Used to set MICR line signal characteristics to optimize low MICR detection. See PR34 – PR35
in Section 6.
