APPENDIX A. FORMAT LIST
For check reading, the MICRSafe provides the flexibility to format the MICR fields and build a
specific output string that will be transmitted to the Host. These output strings are referred to as
formats. The Reader has a built-in list of formats (described below) from which the user may
select one to become the active format every time a check is read. The formats may be selected
using the FC command (Section 4, Legacy Commands) or Insta-Change checks provided by
MagTek.
Each format is assigned a 4-digit number which indicates the format number.
Note
The formats listed in this section apply only to U.S. and Canadian
checks. The MICR line on checks from other countries will not be
broken or parsed as described in these formats.
A complete description for each format follows.
