HORIZONTAL MAGNETIC UNIT
This device can read/write horizontal magnetic stripes. It consists of a mobile magnetic printhead that operates
across the insertion slot with a specific controlled-movement mechanism.
It operates across the entire insertion slot of the printer and does not involve any particular constraints as
regards positioning of the passbook inserted.
The operation on the stripe is carried out exerting controlled pressure on the passbook to guarantee uniform
distance between the printhead and the magnetic support.

1.2.9
VERTICAL MAGNETIC UNIT
This device can read/write vertical magnetic stripes. It comprises a fixed-position R/W head and approach
movement to the stripe. It can be installed to the left or right of the paper path, as required by the customer.
The passbook must be inserted against the respective side of feeder.

1.2.10
MICR READER
A new model is envisaged that integrates only the MICR (without horizontal magnetic unit) whose electronics
are integrated in the scanner board.
The reader, located inside printer, operates crosswise to the direction of movement of the paper.
It comprises a read head able to operate also on passbook magnetic stripes, fitted on a specific mechanism
that guarantees correct traverse during work phases.
The read range is equal to the size of the slot. A position restriction on the right-hand side of the feeder is
accepted. If present, this restriction must be highlighted by a graphic sign on the top lip of the slot.
The interpretation SW must be able to recognize the font of the check being read automatically (objective).
