SECTION 4. LEGACY COMMANDS
This section describes the use of commands and programmable options available for the
MICRSafe.
Note
All options described below can be factory set as specified by the
user when ordering.
You may use either of two methods to execute the MICRSafe commands: Insta-Change checks
or the MICRbase Setup Program for Windows (see *NOTE below).
INSTA-CHANGE CHECKS
The first method is the use of Insta-Change checks, which is a more practical way of setting
up the MICRSafe for most applications. The Insta-Change check is a MICR encoded
document that contains commands and options used to reset the parameters of the MICR
Reader. Multiple commands and options may be contained on one Insta-Change check.
When used, the Insta-Change checks are run through the MICRSafe the same as a standard
check, and the options to be used are automatically selected. To obtain Insta-Change checks,
notify a MagTek representative and specify what options will be used. To operate Insta-
Change checks, install the MICRSafe as described in Section 2 and watch the LED indicator.
When the Insta-Change check is run through the MICRSafe and read successfully, the LED
indicator will blink green. If the LED indicator turns red, the read was not successful. If the
LED is blinking red and green, the Insta-Change check contains an invalid format. Try again
or use a different Insta-Change check.
MICRBASE SETUP PROGRAM FOR WINDOWS
The MICRbase program (P/N 22000021) allows the user to control all the programmable
options available in the MICRSafe. *NOTE: MICRbase version 8.3 or newer will work
with this device in either configuration. If the MICRSafe model used is a Keyboard
Emulation HID device, you may also program the device using the USB Swipe and Insert
Reader demo (version 1.08 or newer). For details on this usage see the USB
Communications section (section 5) of this manual.
The program provides a graphical, user-friendly interface that hides the complexities
involved in manually entering MICR commands. The user is no longer required to know the
specific commands or the detailed data associated with each command. However, the
program still allows manual entry of commands for advanced users, and it also displays data
from cards and checks that are read. If your MICRSafe is using a VCOM port,; the legacy
MICR commands found in this section may be sent to the device exactly as described below.
However, if your MICRSafe is using an HID interface, you must send the legacy MICR
commands to the device using the “Send Legacy Command”, details of which can be found
in the “USB Communications” section of this manual. For details and examples of how to
use MICRbase see P/N 99875102. For more detailed information also refer to the
Readme.txt file that comes with this program. You can download the MICRbase program
