Section 6
Using the Printer Control Panel
Using the
Exact
Positioning
Technology
If the MICR line on your checks does not meet the ANSI X/9B specification for MICR line placement, use this
feature to make small vertical, horizontal, or rotational positioning adjustments to the MICR line and/or page
image. Use the TROY MICR Document Template (54-17373-001) to verify the correct placement of the MICR
line on your checks after performing an adjustment (refer to
Section 3 – MICR Quality Control
in the
TROY
MICR Basics Handbook
for instructions on using the TROY MICR Document Template). If adjustments are
made simultaneously to the MICR line and the page image positions using positive numbers, then the sum of the
two numbers will be used as the offset value for the MICR line.
NOTE: The MICR line adjustments are preset at the factory. TROY recommends that you do not alter these
settings unless your bank of deposit notifies you of MICR line positioning errors on your deposited checks.
