Example: &%SMCP0010$
Prints 16 (Hex 10) MICR lines before disabling MICR mode. This command defines how
many MICR lines may print in the current job. When the count decrements to zero, MICR
mode is terminated.
Set New Password Command &%STExxxxxxxx$
&%STE Lead in sequence
xxxxxxxx New password, must be 8 characters either printable or non
printable. Dollar ($) sign is an invalid password character.
$ Command terminator.
In order to set a new password the current password must first be sent. Caution: Errors
made in sending the new password command could lead to setting it to an unknown value.
If the Password is unknown the printer must be returned to Source Technologies to be
reset to PASSWORD.
Activate/Set Front Panel Combination Lock &%STSxxxxxxxx$ (optional)
&%STS Lead in sequence
xxxxxxxx Eight digit sequence, valid characters 0-9
$ Command terminator
Sets and activates the front panel MICR combination lock. If this feature is activated, MICR
mode cannot be entered until the front panel combination is entered correctly. All MICR
features will be inaccessible until this combination is entered. Sending an &%STS
command and eight zeros deactivates the security lock.
Caution: If the front panel combination is set and then forgotten, the printer must be
returned to Source Technologies for the combination to be deactivated.
Print MICR E-13B Font &%SMDddd...ddd$
&%SMD Lead in sequence
ddd...ddd Data to be printed in E-13B MICR font
$ Command terminator
Prints the specified data in the E-13B MICR font which is used in the United States,
Canada and Mexico. The correct spacing begins at the cursor position modified by the
MICRpoint adjustment setting at the start of the command. After the terminator is sent, the
printer is returned to its default font. After each Print E-13B command, the MICR count is
decremented by one. Upon receiving this command the printer will check to ensure a
MICR toner cartridge is installed and set the copies parameter to 1. See Appendix A for
MICR E-13B font character mapping.
