MICR Reader

The MICR reader is an option for the Series 90PLUS Printer. It is attached to the front of the printer and
allows a document having MICR data on it to be read and positioned for print.
The MICR reader recognizes the magnetic ink on the bottom of checks; it is not an optical reader. Any
nonmagnetic data will not be read. The Series 90PLUS MICR reader is based on a technique which uses a
magnetic read head to pick up a signal from a document containing magnetic ink which is passed beneath
the read head.
The Series 90PLUS MICR reader recognizes E13-B characters. It does not read CMC-7 characters. CMC-7
characters are used in Latin America and Europe.
