MICR Test Mode
MICR Test Mode allows the user to test whether the MICR is operating correctly.
When the printer is in this mode the MICR reads the characters on a check as
usual, but instead of transmitting the values to the software it prints them on
receipt paper.
To run the MICR Test Mode:
1. Enter the Configuration Menu. See “Configuring the Printer,” for instructions
on how to enter the Configuration Menu.
2. After enabling the MICR Test Mode through the Configuration Menu, exit
the Configuration Menu.
3. Insert a check into the slip station. (See “Verifying and Validating Checks”
section.)
4. The printer waits until a check is inserted and detected before the platen
closes and the characters are read by the MICR check reader. The decoded
data is printed on receipt paper, the platen is opened, and the test is re-
started.
5. The printed numbers should match the numbers on the check. If the MICR
check reader misreads a character, the test prints a question mark “?”. If the
MICR check reader is unable to read any characters, the test prints “NO
MICR CHARACTERS.”
To exit the MICR Test Mode:
1. Enter the Configuration Menu again.
2. Disable the MICR Test Mode.
3. Exit the Configuration Menu.
The printer is in Normal Mode and can communicate with the host
computer.
