Send Status After Data
The Send Status After Data option makes the MICR Plus append a two-digit error/status code to
the end of the MICR data. For most formats (See Appendix A) the error/status code will always
be preceded by a forward slash (/). The error/status codes are listed in Table 4-4.
For example, if a Canadian check (code 08) is read and had no errors, and the MICR data is
“1234567890”, then the message from the MICR Plus will look like this:
MICR Data: 1234567890/08
The status code is always at the end of the data, not the end of the message. For example, using
the above conditions, with the message format set to send and , the message from
the MICR Plus will look like this:
MICR Data: 1234567890/08
