4. Quality Issues
A high quality MICR document can be read by bank reader/sorter equipment many times
with no readability issues and does not result in damage to bank equipment. This quality
is the result of a well designed printer, an originally manufactured MICR toner cartridge
and high quality check stock.
Printer Features
Your Secure MICR Printer is equipped with some features to ensure high quality MICR
documents.
Paper Type
We recommend paper trays with check stock be set to "bond" paper type. The
associated "weight" and "texture" settings should be set to "heavy" and "rough."
See the base printer's User's Guide. If more than one input tray has check stock
and they are the same stock, set all to "bond" and they will become linked. If
different stock is used in more than one input tray, use "custom" type, "rough"
and "heavy" to block linking.
MICR Toner Low Alarm
When MICR toner is low, the printer will stop and the user is prompted to load a
new MICR toner cartridge. Once low toner is sensed, there may not be enough
MICR toner left to produce quality MICR documents.
Note: Shaking the cartridge to prolong its life is not recommended.
MICR Toner Sensing
Wen the printer enters MICR mode and attempts to print a MICR font, it verifies
that a MICR toner cartridge is loaded in the printer. If a regular cartridge is
present, an alarm will sound and the user must load a MICR cartridge before a
print job will resume. The message, "Load MICR Toner," will appear on the
operator's panel.
MICR Toner
Use only Source Technologies’ MICR toner when printing MICR documents. It is
specifically engineered to print quality MICR documents with your printer. The printer’s
MICR toner sensor is designed to work with the Source Technologies’ MICR toner
cartridge to prevent printing checks with regular toner present. Your Source
Technologies MICR printer can be used for general office printing. If a MICR print job
begins and the printer has a regular toner cartridge present, the printer will stop and
prompt the operator to install a MICR toner cartridge.
Source Technologies does not recommend the use of refilled MICR toner cartridges.
Refilled cartridges may result in expensive printer repairs and bank check reject fees
due to inferior MICR toner formulation.
