The Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR) Panel allows the user to test the MICR device connected to the system. When the user clicks the MICR Button, the Diagnostics opens the MICR and enables it to recieve data. The testing for the MICR displays the Raw Data obtained from the MICR Read.
Testing the MICR
- Press the Start Test button
- Insert an IBM check into the Slip/Impact Station
- Verify the data that is returned to the user
It is important to note that the MICR test does not return a PASS of FAIL. It merely diagnoses whether the MICR is connected and functioning.
