TESTING THE MICR READER

TESTING THE MICR READER
You may test the MICR reader to ensure that it is running properly. The next
section describes how to enter the Test Mode and verify that the MICR reader
is correctly reading the MICR characters.
1. Turn off the printer.
2. Press and hold the RESUME button while turning on the printer.
When the printer starts printing, let go of the RESUME button.
The model number and other information about the printer are printed.
When the printer stops printing, the first selectable test is printed at the
bottom of the receipt.
3. Press and let go of the RELEASE button until the test you would like to
run is printed, in this case the MICR Read Test.
4. Press the RESUME button to start the test.
5. The printer prints "Insert Check to Read," and the green LED is lit. Insert a
check with MICR characters printed on it.
6. After the check is read, press the RESUME button to print the MICR data.
The numbers at the bottom of the receipt should correspond with the
MICR numbers on the check.
7. To exit the Test Mode, turn the printer off and back on again.
The other test modes are described in the Programmer's Guide. If you have
accidentally entered this menu mode, turn the printer off and back on again.
