Operating the Model 3R and Model 4R Printer
MICR Read Head Cleaning:
A cleaning kit consisting of 10 individually wrapped cleaners is
available using order number 73G2600. Cleaning instructions are printed on each package.
Installing the Ribbon Cartridge:
When installing or replacing the ribbon cartridge on a Model 3R
or 4R printer, make sure that the ribbon does not get caught behind the MICR pressure pad.
To help prevent this, install the ribbon cartridge in the printer before placing the ribbon holder onto the
print head.
Inserting MICR Checks in the Printer:
Checks are automatically positioned for franking at the
end of a MICR read operation. Do not insert a check with staples, paper clips, or other items that may
hinder the check movement.
¹
With the check face down and the bottom of the check against the right side frame (not the normal
document stop), push the check inward until it is stopped. The green light next to the Ready button
comes ON.
Notes:
1. Model 3R and 4R printers cannot read punched card checks.
2. Model 3R and 4R printers cannot read checks that have data printed in the last 33 mm of the
character line (amount field).
3. Consult the store procedures or authorized personnel at your store for information on completing
the check reading operation.
