MICR Toner
Low/Off-Line
MICR Printers: The TROY MICR EX printers use a MICR toner cartridge detection sensor designed to detect
the presence of a TROY MICR toner cartridge installed in the printer. If MICR mode is enabled, and a TROY
MICR toner cartridge is not installed when an attempt is made to use a MICR font, the
LOAD MICR TONER
message
will display on the printer control panel and the MICR features will be disabled. In order to proceed with MICR
printing, you must replace the non-MICR toner cartridge with a TROY MICR toner cartridge, and then press
CONTINUE
to proceed -- or press
CANCEL
to stop the print job.
MICR Secure Series Printers: The TROY MICR Secure and MICR / IRD Secure EX series printers use a MICR
toner cartridge detection sensor designed to detect the presence of a TROY MICR toner cartridge installed in the
printer. If MICR mode is enabled with the printer keylock switch set to Print MICR, and a TROY MICR toner
cartridge is not installed when an attempt is made to use a MICR font, the
LOAD MICR TONER message will display
on the printer control panel and the MICR features will be disabled. In order to proceed with MICR printing, you
must replace the non-MICR toner cartridge with a TROY MICR toner cartridge, and then press
CONTINUE
to
proceed -- or press CANCEL to stop the print job.
NOTE: TROY MICR printers require the use of TROY MICR toner cartridges to print MICR documents. For more
information on MICR toner, refer to the TROY MICR Basics Handbook, Section 4 - Selecting Check Paper and MICR
Toner.
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.
Printing when toner is low may cause reader/sorter misreading at the bank due to low MICR signal levels. When
the printer is switched into MICR mode
ENABLED and a toner low condition occurs, the printer will go off-line,
and a
LOW TONER
message will be displayed on the printer control panel. You should replace the used toner
cartridge with a new TROY MICR toner cartridge before you place the printer back on-line.
NOTE: To ensure consistent MICR print quality, always replace the TROY MICR toner cartridge when your printer
first displays a
LOW TONER message.
