1. From the Main Window, click on Settings, and

then click on ExPT Offsets.

2. Enter the vertical and offset values for the MICR

line and/or image in the appropriate boxes.
These values are represented in decipoints
(1/720 of an inch). The valid offset range is –
720 to 720 (equals plus/minus one inch). If you
are using the automatic page rotation feature in
conjunction with the ExPT Offsets feature, then
you must adjust the image and MICR offsets
accordingly (see note on previous page).

3. After all values have been entered, click on

Update Printer to send the new settings to the
printer. All previous MICR line and image
offset values in the printer will be overwritten.
The system will prompt you with “Print Quality Document to verify adjustments?” Click on Yes to print
the quality document, or click on No to proceed without printing the quality document.

series

printers must use the 100-sheet
