This section contains check and card reading procedures and LED indicator states.

Orient the check so the MICR line is down and the printed side faces the center of the

MICRSafe as shown in Figure 3-1.

Drop the check so the leading edge is in the open slot.

When the MICRSafe detects the presence of the check, the motor will turn on. At this

time, gently urge the check forward until the unit grabs the check. When this happens,

release the check. The check will then be transported around the check path and will exit

through the other side.

After the check is read, the MICRSafe will transmit the data as specified by the

parameters described in Section 4, Commands.

The card may be swiped through the MSR in either direction, but the magnetic stripe must be

oriented in only one direction as shown in Figure 1-1. The MSR will transmit raw card data ("as

is" on the card) for all tracks that have been enabled using the HW (Hardware) command

(Section 4, Legacy Commands
