Notes:
All parameters are ASCII characters, i.e. greater than or equal to 0x20, with the exception of a non-ASCII character
enclosed in single quotes as a field separator. This applies both to parameter specifications sent from application to
printer, and to MICR data returned from printer to application.
Parameters are positional; their order in the parameter string is the order in which the parsed MICR data will be
returned. Unrecognized parameters will be ignored, and processing of the parsing parameters will stop. Any data
remaining after the unrecognized parameter will be treated as normal input data.
If parameters are not defined (for example, 1B 77 50 <CR> or 1B 77 70 <CR>) parsing is not selected. One status byte
followed by all decoded MICR characters will be returned. The chart on the next page is the default parsing format if no
other is selected:
Status
Good read, data follows
Bad read, data follows
No check present, no data
Paper jam, no data
No MICR characters, no data
MICR characters ASCII
Numerics 0 ... 9
Unrecognized character ?
Space
Amount symbol &
Dash symbol '
"on us" symbol (
Transit symbol )
Once a parsing format is specified, the following values are returned:
MICR characters ASCII
Numerics 0 ... 9
Space
Dash -
Field separator*
Country code*
*As specified in the parsing parameter string
