Page 9: Section 1. Overview
Check Reader is both a MICR Reader (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition) and a check-imaging device. The MICRImage reads the MICR character set at the bottom of a check, and the Imager produces a digitized image of the entire check. The characters and the image can be transmitted to a Host device. -

Page 17: Section 3. Operation
Drop the check so the leading edge is in the open slot. Slide the check forward. When the MICRImage 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. -
Page 18: Card Reading Procedure
Slide the card in one motion from the top of the unit down through the slot as indicated in the illustration. After the card is read, the MICRImage will transmit the data as specified by the parameters. Figure 3-2. Optional Magnetic Swipe Reader Orientation... -

• Sample checks, P/N 96530005. • A small bottle of compressed air. SET-UP 1. Plug DB25connector of the RS232 cable into the MICRImage Reader. 2. Plug the DB9 connector of the RS232 cable into the PC. 3. Power on the MICRImage Reader. - Page 24 • AC adapter connection to outlet - make sure the AC adapter is securely connected to outlet on the wall or power strip. • AC adapter connection to MICRImage Reader - make sure the AC adapter is securely connected to the power jack on the Cable.
- Page 25 Use MICRbase to verify the following parameters: • "Send Data After Error" - if this option is set to NO, the MICRImage Reader will not send any data after a read error. Use SET-MICR to change this option to YES.
- Page 26 Missing characters Possible causes for this problem are: • Character rate - the character rate at which the MICRImage Reader is transmitting data may be too fast for the PC. Use MICRbase to set the "Inter-character Delay" option to YES.
- Page 27 Path is obstructed Foreign debris is obstructing the check path: • Loose debris - power off the MICRImage Reader and refer to Section 3, Check Path Cleaning. • Wedged debris - the debris is wedged in and cannot be removed with the procedure described above.
- Page 28 Cable problem Possible causes for this problem are: • Loose connection - the cable connector on the PC or the MICRImage Reader may be loose. Make sure that both connectors are tightly connected. • Damaged cable - the connectors, pins or wires in the cable may be damaged. Replace cable.
