Main hardware parts
The VarioPrint i-series MICR is a modular printer. The modules in the front position are mainly
used for the job production. The modules in the rear position give access to the consumables,
service units, and control units.
The VarioPrint i-series MICR can have up to three paper input modules and one or two high
capacity stackers. More equipment can be connected to the printer for finishing the output.
There are two hardware models of the VarioPrint i-series MICR. The first model has a registration
output module with an output tray and an ink cabinet with drawers. The other model has a
registration output module without an output tray and a cabinet without drawers. Most options
and features are applicable to both models. When needed this operation guide describes
instructions for both models.
