3 Once a check is detected by the printer, the platen
closes and the characters are read by the MICR check
reader. The decoded data is printed as characters on
receipt paper. The platen is then opened, and the test
is re-started.
4 The printed characters should match the characters
on the check. If the MICR check reader misreads
a character, a question mark "?" is printed. If no
characters can be read, "NO MICR CHARACTERS"
is printed.
