Resource Storage
Check-related resources, such as form overlays and signatures, are stored in your printer
with unique identification numbers. ID numbers must be less than 32767. Number 5001 is
reserved for the Audit Trail overlay. Your Secure MICR Printer has two areas where you
may store these resources: FLASH and RAM Memory.
Flash Memory is an optional feature. It is user managed and resources can be designated
as “secure” or “unsecure.” Secure resources are loaded to flash with the STL command
and have ID numbers greater than or equal to 10000. They can only be accessed by using
the STP command when the printer is in MICR mode. Unsecure resources do not require a
password and should be assigned an ID number less than 10000. Resources stored in
flash memory are not deleted when the printer is powered off. Flash memory is required for
all Audit Trail features.
Storing resources in RAM is also an option. Resources in RAM are deleted when the
printer is powered off or reset. For this reason check-related resources may need to be
loaded frequently. Resources stored in RAM cannot be password protected.
We recommend storing all check-related resources in secured flash memory.
