MICR read, flipper test (Model 2CR only)
Note: IBM recommends that you use the offline menus to initiate this test.
The MICR read test is accessed through the sub-menus in offline mode.
Follow these steps to start the MICR read and flipper test:
1. Insert the check face down with the magnetic ink characters to the right.
2. To enter offline mode, press and hold both buttons until the printer-ready
indicator begins blinking.
3. Then release both buttons.
4. Press and release both buttons again. The printer reads the check.
5. Characters that match the magnetic ink characters are printed on the customer
receipt. The check is then flipped over, and ejected.
Understanding MICR test results: If the characters printed do not match the
magnetic ink characters, check the MICR read head. The printer will insert
question marks if the MICR read engine cannot decode a number. If the printer
detects noise, it will print out the amplitude and frequency of the noise, if possible.
