Entering MICR Mode
To print MICR documents, your Secure MICR Printer uses special alphanumeric text
commands called MICR Mode commands.
There are two different commands which activate MICR mode printing:
&%STFPASSWORD$ and &%STHPASSWORD$. The &%STF is the default command
and is recommended for most applications.
To use the &%STF command, it must be entered at the beginning of the job datastream. The
&%STH command can be entered anywhere prior to accessing secured resources.
The &%STH command is not as powerful as the &%STF command because it does not set
as many parameters for MICR printing. Both commands and descriptions are as follows:
&%STF Command
When entering MICR mode with the &%STF mode, the printer will:
• Check to see if the proper Front Panel Combination has been entered (when
enabled).
• Allow access to secure check printing resources such as MICR fonts and secure
fonts stored in printer ROM.
• Allow access to protected signatures, overlays, logos and other important
resources stored in password protected nonvolatile flash memory.
• Display “MICR Mode Active” on the printer’s front panel.
• Disable the printer’s front panel menu system.
• Set printer resolution to 600 dpi for printing MICR fonts.
• Disable Jam Recovery.
• Set the copies parameter to 1.
• Sets Toner Low Alarm.
• Turn Hex Transfer ON.
NOTE: The &%STF command must be entered at the beginning of the print job
before any other print data is received.
&%STH Command
The &%STH command does not set-up the printer for check printing activity as
completely as the &%STF command mode. This alternate MICR mode command
forces the user to manually program some commands through their host application. It
is used when programmers cannot place &%STFPASSWORD$ at the beginning of
their job. Use the &%STH command if you experience page ejects while in &%STF
mode.
