Format – Subset, Fullset
For check reading, MagTek MICRs provide the flexibility to format MICR fields and build a
specific output string that will be transmitted to the Host. These output strings are referred to as
formats. Each MICR has a built-in list of formats from which the user may select one to become
the active format every time a check is read. Each Format is assigned a 4-digit number. These
built-in formats are listed in each MICR Technical Reference Manual under Format List. To
select a format, use the delete key to clear the Format box, and type in the Format Number from
the Format List in the Manuals. If the required format does not exist, the user can design a
custom format with the Flexible Format feature. For a complete description of this feature, see
Section 7, Flexible Format.
Flexible Format Size – Fullset
