MICR Commands

MICR Reading
These commands control the Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR) check reader,
including how it parses the character strings on checks.
The section, MICR Parsing, describes how to create a parsing format and how to create
and maintain an Exceptions table.
Read MICR Data and Transmit
Hexadecimal:
Reads and transmits the MICR data and adds a Carriage Return (0x0D). If no parsing
format is selected with either of the Define Parsing Format commands (see below), all data
will be returned, which is the default.
Example:
MSComm1.Output = Chr$(&H1B) & Chr$(&H77) & Chr$(&H01)
Reread MICR Data
Hexadecimal:
Resends the previously decoded MICR data to the host.
Example:
MSComm1.Output = Chr$(&H1B) & Chr$(&H77) & Chr$(&H52)
