If cleaning the MICR read head does not solve a problem you are having, it might
be that you are experiencing electromagnetic noise interference. Sources of
electromagnetic noise (for example, displays, security towers, and other sources)
can interfere with the MICR read head. The printer is equipped to filter noise from
many devices. If the MICR reader does not function properly, rearranging the printer
relative to the noise source may improve MICR reading. The noise source should
be as far away as possible from the right side of the printer.
For additional information on troubleshooting MICR read problems, see "Firmware
off-line tests" on page 32.
