IBM 2xR Printer User Manual


 
Error Conditions:
Document feed error (status byte 7). This bit is set if the inserted check is
too long. The maximum check length is 10 inches. The error is also set if
the check does not clear the document sensor when expected.
Magnetic noise present (status byte 8, bit 6). Set when MICR read shows
random noise count 100 decimal or periodic noise > 0. If set to a “1”, this
value will be in the status message when status byte 5, bit2=“1
otherwise it will be a “0” in other status messages. Magnetic noise might
be due to a fan or CRT and will affect the accuracy of the MICR reading.
This command is ignored on 2NR printers (without the MICR capability).
Flip check
Syntax:
ESC 5 or X'1B35'
Purpose:
To flip the check after a MICR read. This will allow the face of the check to
be printed.
Remarks:
v For faster check processing, set the print station to the document
landscape before sending the flip command. Then, the check can print as
it leaves the flip mechanism.
v This command increments the line count (status byte 6).
Error Conditions:
Document feed error (status byte 7). This bit is set if the inserted check is
too long. The maximum check length is 10 inches. The error is also set if
the check does not clear the document sensor when expected.
Miscellaneous commands
Horizontal tab
Syntax:
HT or X'09'
Purpose:
Moves the print position to the next tab stop.
Remarks:
See “Set horizontal tab positions” on page 46.
Tabs are valid when printing is aligned to the left only. If the tabs are used
when alignment is not left, results can be unpredictable. (See “Align
positions” on page 48.)
Backspace for composite characters
Syntax:
X'08''
Purpose:
To move the print position to the beginning of the last character.
