Security
8-6 Generic MICR Fundamentals Guide
The operator captures and accounts for all jam scrap and makes
sure that no missing or duplicate checks result from the jam. The
audit process works only if all of the sheets in the jam are
discretely identified. These sheets should be considered part of
the output for the job until the auditor is satisfied that the job has
successfully completed.
Note that some pages may not have been properly fused in the
printer. Careless handling of jam scrap could contaminate good
output.
Samples
You may need to sample pages during a MICR print run. Some
form of sample output is needed to verify the continued quality of
the MICR characters.
You can obtain samples during printing by the following methods.
Sample button Using the Sample button or key involves a significant security
risk. If the MICR documents are not negotiable or if the print
facility is highly secure, it may be an acceptable method. Any
extra copies must be voided. You might prefer to have the
Sample button disabled.
On most printers, pressing the Sample button generates an extra
print of the current page. If your system does not produce this
extra print, you must ensure that each item is returned to its
appropriate location in a serialized print stream.
Sampling whenever output is removed from the printer provides
an easy method of evaluating output quality without disturbing
the job order.
NOTE: Inline sample prints may not available, depending on the
printer and controller configuration.
Printing a test
pattern
A test pattern should be printed at designated intervals,
especially at the beginning of a job. You can direct the printed
test pattern to a different tray or use colored paper to distinguish
it from the rest of the output. The application program should be
designed so that an electronic form with the word “VOID” is
merged with these pages.
