MagTek Device Driver for Windows
The format number can be changed to another value (e.g., 7700 to allow use of a flex format) by
editing the field following the format number entry (%CheckFormatCodeName%) in the
OEMSETUP.INF file. This must be changed in three places depending on which drivers are to
be used (MICR+, MiniMICR RS232, and MiniMICR Wedge). By defining a flex format that
would duplicate the 6500 output format, the driver will still be able to parse the check data and
present the individual properties (e.g., chk_account, chk_amount, chk_number, and chk_transit).
If a suitable format cannot be developed to present the individual properties, the driver will still
be able to present the check data (chk_data) as received from the MICR reader. If the existing
format number in the MICR device is suitable, set the %CheckFormatCodeName% entry to null
(i.e., “”), so it will not be modified by the Driver.
Refer to the appropriate MICR Technical Reference Manual for more information about the use
of format numbers and available MICR fields.
FILE PROPERTIES
When updating the MagTek Device Drivers, discussing performance characteristics, or reporting
errors, it will be important to identify the part number and version of the associated file(s). In
order to determine which version is installed, use Windows Explorer and go to the
\Windows\System directory. Right click on the associated “VXD” or “SYS” driver file (see
Appendix A. Installation and Setup) and select Properties. Click on the Version tab. Note the
File Version, Part Number, and Description.
INSTALLATION
The drivers are installed by means of an InstallShield application. All Windows platforms (95,
98, ME, NT, 2000, and XP) are supported. Refer to "Appendix A. Installation and Setup" for a
