This feature allows administrators to easily upgrade the TROY MICR printer firmware (TROY’s proprietary
program code) as new features become available from TROY. The MICR printer firmware update file is
available from the TROY web site or may be supplied by TROY on removable media. After completing a
firmware update, your TROY MICR series printer must be rebooted (printer power cycled OFF and ON) in order
for the update to take effect.
The ANSI X/9B specifications for the placement of
the MICR line relative to the bottom and right
edges of a check document are tightly controlled in
order to provide accurate reading by the high-speed
banking system check readers. The paper feeding
and image placement accuracy between printers
(even similar model printers) can vary enough to
cause the MICR line to print out of tolerance,
according to the ANSI X/9B specification, resulting
in rejected checks by the banking system check
readers.
If the MICR line on your checks does not meet the
ANSI X/9B specification for MICR line placement,
use this feature to make small vertical and/or
horizontal positioning adjustments to the MICR
line and/or page image. Use the TROY MICR document template to verify correct placement of the MICR line
on your checks after performing an adjustment (refer to Section 3 – MICR Quality Control in the TROY MICR
Basics Handbook for instructions on using the TROY MICR document template). If adjustments are made
simultaneously to the MICR line and the page image positions using positive numbers, then the sum of the two
numbers will be used as the offset value for the MICR line.
NOTE: The MICR line adjustments are preset at the factory. TROY recommends that you do not alter these
settings unless your bank of deposit notifies you of MICR line positioning errors on your deposited checks.
