Send Status After Data
The Send Status After Data option makes the MICR Plus append a two-digit error/status code to
the end of the MICR data. For most formats (See Appendix A) the error/status code will always
be preceded by a forward slash (/). The error/status codes are listed in Table 4-4.
For example, if a Canadian check (code 08) is read and had no errors, and the MICR data is
“1234567890”, then the message from the MICR Plus will look like this:
MICR Data: 1234567890/08
The status code is always at the end of the data, not the end of the message. For example, using
the above conditions, with the message format set to send <STX> and <ETX>, the message from
the MICR Plus will look like this:
MICR Data: <STX>1234567890/08<ETX>

•
All unreadable MICR characters are transmitted as an “?” ASCII character (hex 3F), except for
Format 00xx (See Appendix A).
