Both commands require the MICR Password Command. The ON command blocks the
copy function with MICR toner. The OFF command allows the copy function with MICR
toner. The factory default is OFF
Note – Postscript Language print jobs downloaded from a host will not print with MICR
toner if the Postscript job contains a copy count command. Copy Defeat = ON will reset
copy count to 0, and nothing prints. Either the Copy Defeat function needs to be set to OFF
or the copy count command needs to be removed if the user requires Postscript MICR
printing. We tested a few Postscript printer drivers and did not detect copy count
commands, but the specific data streams should be tested.
Customer Character Conversation Command
The Custom Character Conversion Command can be used to resolve some problems in
printer data streams. An example might be to remove a special command character in an
existing data stream that was used by your previous printer hardware. Without changing
your data stream, these special characters can either be removed, converted to Nulls, or
converted to other sets of data to accomplish what is required.
An example of this might convert a Skip Command used by an older generation printer to
multiple Carriage Return / Line Feed commands. You could also store a PCL5 command
in our SIMM and call it with one character in your data stream. Only one type of conversion
is permitted at any particular point in time, but the function can be modified within a data
stream multiple times.
The conversion information is stored in NVRAM and is retained through power off / power
on cycles. This means you could send the command one time and all future print jobs
would be converted. Special precautions are required if printer fonts and Macro’s are
downloaded to your printer. This might require you to disable the function during
downloads and re-enable prior to your print data.
&%STCxx[yy...]$ xx is a double-byte character to convert - the following characters are
not allowed:
&, %, S, T, C and $.
yy...is a double-byte string to convert to - can be 0 to 16 characters
long
$ command terminator
Example:
&%STC1E0D0A$ sets the convert character to 1E - the printer will replace any 1E
character in the data stream with 0D 0A (carriage return, line feed)
