MICRbase, Setup Program for MICR Readers
34
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
CMC-7 Character Set – Subset, Fullset
If the box is checked, the MICR Reader will read CMC-7 characters.
Track 1, Track 2, Track 3 – Fullset
If a Track box is checked, the appropriate Track will be enabled on the MSR (Magnetic Stripe
Reader). Each Track can be enabled or disabled individually. The tracks are always transmitted
in ascending order: TK1, TK2, TK3. For example, if TK1 and TK3 are enabled and TK2 is
disabled, the reader will transmit TK1, TK3.
Note
The MSR is an optional device, and it may not be available on all
MICR Readers.
ID Card Decoding – Subset, Fullset
The MSR has two modes of operation. When the box is not checked, ID Card decoding disabled,
the MSR will only read ISO encoded cards. When the box is checked, ID Card decoding
enabled, the MSR will read and autodiscriminate ISO, AAMVA, and CDL encoded cards. When
a card is swiped, the LED indicator will turn red to indicate an error if any of the enabled tracks
read is incompatible with the selected mode of operation. Track 2 is a standard track for all
types of cards.
OK – Subset, Fullset
Keeps the current options and returns to the Main Screen. To save configuration changes to a
file, use the Save or Save As options from the file menu.
Cancel – Subset, Fullset
Returns to the Main Screen. Does not retain configuration changes.
