In addition to the printing features provided in the Hewlett-Packard LaserJet printers, the TROY MICR solutions
include additional functionality specifically designed for printing high-quality MICR documents. These standard
printer features are included in all TROY MICR solutions (DIMM Kits and MICR printers) and function
automatically without user intervention.
To print Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR) on financial documents and checks, TROY MICR
solutions use a special MICR mode. With MICR mode enabled, specific printer features are automatically set to
the required mode for printing MICR documents. In addition, selected TROY MICR solutions will check for the
presence of a TROY MICR toner cartridge and the position of the printer keylock switch to determine if the
proper security states exist (i.e., TROY MICR toner cartridge installed, keylock set to Print MICR) to allow
MICR printing using TROY MICR fonts. MICR mode provides the following special features:
• Enables access to the TROY MICR fonts.
• Displays
NO MICR TONER on the printer control panel, and will not print MICR documents if a TROY MICR
toner cartridge is not installed when the keylock is set to Print MICR.
• Disables Jam Recovery function (does not allow the automatic reprinting of a document after a paper
jam).
• Automatically sets the Print Density (lightness/darkness of the printed characters) to the necessary value
required for high-quality MICR printing.
• Places the printer off-line after a LOW MICR TONER
message.
• Maintains full PCL (Printer Control Language) functionality.
NOTE: If MICR mode is not enabled and an attempt is made to use the TROY MICR font, an alternate font will
automatically be substituted for the MICR font.
NOTE: The printer keylock is present on MICR Secure and MICR / IRD Secure EX series printers only.
MICR toner cartridge sensing is present on MICR EX, MICR Secure, and MICR / IRD Secure EX series printers only.
