Notes On Using The Endorsement Printer; Micr Reader (Factory-Installed Option) - Epson TM-H6000V Technical Reference Manual

Notes on using the endorsement printer

You can use an endorsement printer to perform MICR reading and endorsement printing without turning over
the check. For this reason, be careful of the following points regarding the endorsement printer when develop-
ing an application.
 When endorsement printing is executed after MICR reading, the printer automatically feeds the paper for-
ward after receiving a command to print the endorsement. Next, the printer starts printing from the print
starting position (approximately 6.9 mm {0.27"} from the end of the check) by using reverse paper feeding.
 Since the endorsement printing format assumes a sequence appropriate for printing of an endorsement on a
US personal check, printing begins at the far end from the inserted side of the check with the print turned
upright. (The endorsement characters are printed upside-down as viewed from the front of the printer.)
 In some cases paper feeding may not be accurate when endorsement printing is performed on a check
depending on the width of the check. We recommended that you check in advance whether printing is per-
formed correctly on the check you want to use.
